Principles vs. Politics

What Principles?

Can throwing America under the bus in order to teach McCain and the RNC a lesson, be considered a conservative principled approach to the 2008 election? A selfish extremist approach, yes... but conservative or principled? NO!

It amounts to nothing more than a childish temper tantrum, unfortunately, with potentially disastrous consequences. It assumes that there will be something left to fix when Obama is finished and that is a really bad assumption.

People intent upon this strategy are not seeking to "conserve" anything. It is a destructive measure, a form of killing the cancer patient rather than cutting out or treating the cancer.

Even though it might feel good, or principled, the results will be neither. I have counted on conservatives to do the right thing all of my life and I hope America can still rely upon conservatives, even when they must do the less than desirable, in order to do the best available.

Liberals are known for their childish emotion driven tantrums. God help us if conservatives now suffer the same mental defect.
