This is what our party stands for. If we don't stand up for our own principles, no one will.
Our flagbearer is a flawed individual (and they always are). Our principles are what we stand for regardless of who is up there on the podium. Its just this time, if we've learned anything, we know we can't afford to go on auto-pilot between elections. We have to fight the marxists and then we have the fight the Boehners too. Its a full-time job.
Well put!
