The Darkside is a good place for this question. The White House and many Alabamians have made it clear that it is more important to retain the R vote on taxes, immigration, abortion, gay marriage, etc that candidate ethics.

On the left, what would it take for you not to support the D nominee KNOWING that the alternative puts your view of taxes, immigration, abortion, gay marriage at great risk?

Is electing an ethical politician (#1 oxymoron in the Universe) more or less important than achieving a political agenda?
