This is a very long thread so I don't blame you if you haven't read my previous posts.
I believe that every candidate in every election must be judged on a case-by-case basis based on the GOALS OF THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT and not simply on some definition of the Ideal Candidate.
We must fight with the army we have and, IMHO, do what we can to make sure that there is a growing number of true Conservatives to vote for.
I am *very* interested in Conservative principles winning in the long run. At the same time we can only vote for the people who are actually in the race. The bulk of our work needs to be in getting true Conservatives into the race. The Tea Party movement may help greatly in that.
The question was "Are you going to keep on supporting liberals with an (R) next to their name in the future?". Support has connotations beyond our vote. So tell me, if a liberal Republican is running against a Democrat, would you support that liberal Republican monetarily? You've already stated you would vote for him/her. Would you actually support their liberal orthodoxy with your contributions? Or simply by your vote because they're the 'least offensive' and you feel obligated to vote?
