"Always vote for principle, though you vote alone that you may cherish the sweet reflection that your vote is never lost." -- John Adams
"There is an opinion that parties in free countries are useful checks upon the administration of the government, and serve to keep live the spirit of liberty. This within certain limits is probably true; and in governments of monarchical cast patriotism may look with indulgence, if not with favor, upon the spirit of party, but in those of the popular character, in governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged." -- George Washington, in his Farewell Address
It would seem that voting for principle was more important to our Founders than "voting for a winner", "voting Republican/Democrat", or being political.
