Very few politicians hold any "central core values." They simply want to be elected/re-elected for another term. Take, for example, the Republican mantra over the last 40 years of fiscal responsibility/limited government. Where has that core value gone? Unless you think that presiding over the greatest expansion in the federal government since the Great Society represents adherence to this principal? I think not.
The only way in which, as a true believer in those principals, you can effect change is to vote them out of office. Otherwise, you are nothing more than an enabler.

I frequently write in whoever I think would do the best job for the office. I don't harbor any illusion that my single writ-in vote will actually have an effect on the current broken, corrupt, morally bankrupt circus that we call our political sphere. But at least I get to feel good about having exercised my franchise with a sense of principle.
