I've explained over and over why I vote republican. I've explained over and over why I believe party trumps person.

I've also explained why I think many republicans (McCain, Boehner and Christie to name a few) are part of the problem with the republican party. I'm sorry you missed it.
Yes there are alternatives. No, there are no viable alternatives if one wants a share of governing in DC.
It's kinda like the old saying, "I love my country, I hate my government." I'm not willing to throw the baby out with the bath water. I believe the republican party, in and of itself and separate from many in the party, is still the best option available if we want to get back on track to traditional conservative values in this country. There are many up and coming republican politicians who I believe really want to change things...some who've been elected and some who are trying to get elected.
Change isn't going to come by wishing more libertarians (or insert favored party here ______) could get elected. So that's why I vote for republican party candidates. Because the party in charge controls things. And I'd rather have republicans in charge than democrats (and since there isn't a viable alternative those are my only two choices), not because the party is perfect, but because the republican part platform more closely reflects my beliefs.
See? It can be explained without all the name-calling, ridiculous rhetoric and nonsense that cujo finds so fascinating and necessary.
