Another vote that helps Obama ... but at least you'll feel good about yourself that you stood on principle.

No, not at all. I am voting for conservatism. I am not voting for one of two candidates who will do damage to conservatism.

Hey, lots of us have been saying this since 2007 at least. I supported McCain in 2008 and what I got for my efforts was a piss-poor campaign where Obama was allowed to tout his semi-socialist ideology to his heart's content with nary a peep from McCain who did absolutely nothing to advance the cause from the top of the ticket.

I am done voting for liberals masquerading as conservatives. Got it? DONE! If you want my vote, run a conservative.

I got it ... I understand what you're saying ... and I think you are wrong in your thinking and in your plan to effectively help support Obama's re-election if the only realistic alternative is a RINO. Those who love America, the Constitution and traditional American values (as I am sure you do, as do I and as do all conservatives) must not do anything to support the current socialist president and his persistent efforts to destroy (i.e., "fundamentally change") the very things conservatism stands for.

While arguing over who is the best (in terms of conservative values) alternative to the socialist president is essential to preserving those values, that battle must be fought in the primaries ... not in the general election where, if we don't win, socialism and the resulting loss of liberty will prevail.

My friend (and I truly mean that), I hope that when the time comes, when you're in the voting booth or sitting at your kitchen table filling out your ballot, you will see the urgency -- the essential need -- to turn America from socialism even though we may not have the "best" conservative alternative available to do so, and not let your disappointment and frustration outweigh your responsibility to help defeat Obama.
