That's it. Those are the options. Me? I'm going with A, and living to fight another day.

It's precisely that type of thinking that leaves the GOP always fighting for another day but never winning by failing to support the conservative cause and has led the party down the slippery slope to socialism. The end result is a socialist candidate like McCain and progressivley socialistic candidates with each succeeding election.

by failing to support the conservative cause

It's real simple. The GOP holds primaries. That's the time for the "conservative cause" to rally around a candidate. Once the nominee is chosen, the game's over. Sorry, but that's just the fact. So, who was the "conservative cause" candidate? That, my friend, was the problem. The conservative cause failed to put a viable candidate on the field. Life goes on.
