Here is your logic in its bare bones:
Unless I support evil, then I support evil.
So, to put a face on it: If I were alive in 1938 Germany, you would argue that unless I support Stalin, by default I am supporting Hitler.
You ask conservatives to turn their backs and betray the very core of conservatism, which itself rightly expresses and upholds the precepts of the US Constitution. And for what reason? So we will not elect a man who is himself anathema to the very precepts you ask us to betray by selecting his rival.
To wit: You have chosen to support John McCain, a man whose political beliefs are anathema to the Constitution. This contradiction is impossible for your conscience to reconcile. So, therefore your conscience needs to be free of the constant reminder that you are willing to betray the core principles you claim here to stand for. To accomplish this feat you must cause others to make the same compromise, and thus not suffer the rebuke of your conscience when you look in the mirror. All will be right if you but only corrupt your accusers.
This tactic typifies the essence of liberal thought. Liberals attempt to remake society to mirror their own debased life, and thus in so doing, remove the contradiction and condemnation of their conscience by corrupting all else around them.
You have been exposed, my friend.
I guess I missed it, when I signed up to vote as a Republican 30+ years ago, but I don't recall a box that said I will only vote Republican if the perfect candidate presents himself to the party and is nominated President. Silly me, I thought we fight it out fair and square and then we support the winner....
I really wonder if the internet had been alive and well to stir people's emotions back in 1980 if Reagan would have made the cut for the purists.. after all, he has signed the loosest abortion law in the nation as Governor and even though he regretted it I bet most everyone would have wanted to hang him in effigy and we would have missed having one of, if not the, great Presidents of my lifetime.
Even Rush Limbaugh admitted the GOP is void of conservative leadership -- but even with his rants he will vote for Obama, he has stopped short of saying we should just put the whole GOP on ice until a god-like candidate appears the entire party will rally behind.
You who are not pleased with McCain have four years to find the perfect candidate and get him or her known and vetted and elected in four years time.. who know, maybe McCain will actually name a VP candidate you will all approve of and wish to support in four years for President..
If you all want to build a GOP that can field a strong, viable, candidate then it's time to take a hard look at the RNC -- does anyone even know who is in charge there nowdays???? and start electing GOP Governors again; in case no one has noticed as GOP governors leave they have been replaced with democrats, and field viable senators and elect them so we have a strong senate once more, same with congress...
No sense whining about who we end up for President candidate when we are not fielding any viable candidates for any offices these days.... you don't want Global Warming legislation???? Well, with a democratic majority in congress, senate and Oval Office you will get that and a whole lot more.... it isn't going to be pretty and THEY won't care about the bottom line...
How many of you saw the chart on Cavuto's show Friday with the tax increases Obama has already proposed? HUGE!!!!! increases across the board... that is how he plans to pay for all his plans, guess what! He would have a majority to pass it....
