Uh huh. And what is it about McCain that is so much worse than Ford that conservatives should gratefully accept the second term of Jimmy Carter out of conservative "principle?"

You can try to frame the choice anyway you want. What kind of conservative principle is it that you should vote for someone knowing full well that his policies will destroy our nation and wreck our economy, i.e., amnesty and a "cap and trade" system to address the manmade global warming hoax? Why should I be complicit? If John McCain can vote on the basis of conscience and principle over party, why can't I?

Thanks for the permission. Your dodging the question is duly noted. What kind of conservative principle is it that you should vote for someone knowing full well that his policies will destroy our nation and wreck our economy, i.e., amnesty and a "cap and trade" system to address the manmade global warming hoax?

Ah, so it's more conservative to help the guy who believes firmly in both those things and agrees with every single piece of liberal claptrap, and is unqualified for the office on top of it all? Really?

In 1976, you could have said, "What kind of conservative principle is it that you should vote for someone knowing full well that his policies will destroy our nation and our way of life, i.e., supporting the ERA, being pro-choice, detente, etc. Why should I be complicit?"

Go ahead, tell me that someone couldn't have said, "Reagan's not a conservative, he's supporting that jerk Ford. I'd rather have Carter than vote for Mr. ERA." Go ahead, tell me you're any different from such a person.
