Conservative principles are based on reason. So why do non-conservatives still exist? Here are some reasons:

50%: did not hear about conservative principles and the logic behind them until ''after'' they made up their mind

25%: refuse to rise above their personal temptations to act or speak contrary to conservative values, often in a self-destructive manner

25%: refuse to let go of their past, or let go of their desire for a sense of acceptance by liberal friends
