Thanks again.

You are welcome.

But the truth is, you have no one but yourself to blame for putting up candidates who lose. Don't blame your failures on others. Take responsibility for your actions.

I'll set you straight on something even though I don't think you have the capacity to admit you are wrong or learn from your mistakes.

Namely, you don't own anyone's vote. You do not have libertarians votes in any case. It's not like they would vote for your people. You didn't lose my vote. YOU NEVER HAD MY VOTE. It's not yours to lose. Voting Republican is not the default position.

I don't make choices between some people I don't want and other people I don't want. You might fall for that nonsense but not me. You have fallen for lots of nonsense if you vote for Republicans so it's not like you don't have history in that regard.

Now go cry in your beer because YOU elected Clinton by putting up a crappy candidate who stood for nothing. YOU take responsibility. YOU did it.

I vote for my country and freedom and rights. YOU vote to get power in some struggle against other people who have the same fundamental philosophy of governance that you do.

I am not a part of it. I repeat, YOU DIDN"T LOSE MY VOTE, YOU NEVER HAD IT.

I say crappy candidates get put up because the independent conservatives refuse to vote.

The republican party is split between moderates and "extremist". IF more real conservatives voted in the primaries we could take back the party and the country. Hell, the righties have been winning now and then. Mannix won his primary over a Rino and Mannix is a true conservative. He will lose though, becuase the LP cannidate will take 8%. I could maybe see it if Mannix was a lefty republican, but he is not.

But just because there are "bad" conservatives in the party, great conservatives refuse to vote for ANY republican. Destroying the chance to move the party to the right. It is not my failure, it is the exodus of 4% to 8% of conservatives.

You say Reagan is your hero, why not vote for guys like that in the party and help move it to the right?

I understand your moral high ground on this, but if every one of the LP and CP voters voted in the republican primaries we could put up candidates we can believe in.

I voted for Dole. Clinton won with less the half the vote. And though the 10% LP and Reform took would have not given us perfect president, it would have given us a president who obeyed the laws, a president who did not sell secrets to China.

More importantly it would have moved the party and the nation to the right.

That is only my opinion, I certainly do not have the market on ideas. I respect you position, I only ask you consider my point of view.

I have vote LP and CP, would you vote R?
