Please, answer that one honestly.

I always answer honestly. So here's my honest answer: No, you're not more like them. You're foolish and self-interested. As this country was being founded, job one was throwing off the shackles of the king, not electing someone that made George and John feel good about themselves. You're confusing principles with self-absorbed, self-focused arrogance.

Great!

Then you can honestly tell me how a conservative can vote for a liberal without abandoning his conservative beliefs! You will hold the distinction as the first ABOer to do so since you always answer honestly.

I am GREATLY looking forward to your reply.

PS, JOB 1 for the FF did not include adopting the very things they sought to rid themselves of as their vehicle of salvation...look it up.

Oh it WAS; was it??
