Acting on principles requires serious consideration of the results of one’s action.

How would you know?

I don’t see your actions as principled or moral, because the results are greater harm to the republic.

That's an amazing thing to say to someone simply because they won't support a pro-choice democrat.

Especially in light of the fact that you are saying it in support of said pro-choice democrat.

I think that's self-evident. Do you disagree?

Problem is I'm not granting you high moral ground just because you claim it - while acting in a manner that does not seriously consider the result of such actions.

If you had principle you would have opposed who seems to be your main opponent in the primary - where defeating him could, possibly, have actually done some good other than helping Obama. That would have been principled and courageous and require actual political skills to build a successful campaign.

Something more than this internet self-gratification.

It's not principled at all to do so, and I'm certainly not going to support your personal party in some act of self perceived self-righteous suicide that only furthers the power of the current. No thanks.
