Will The GOP Base Really Stay Home If Kavanaugh Isn’t Confirmed?

Bas for the base if he withdraws.

If he loses? After this crap storm? Motivation.

(back in those days one had to be 21 to vote)”””

Does anyone here on FR remember when the age was lowered to 18?

Michelle Obama is running around the country telling people that SHE voted at age 18. I do NOT think that is factual.

[Kazan]

Conservatives are smart enough as a group to only punish those that refuse to vote for Kavanaugh.

The Democrats can't be rewarded for smearing the reputation of a good man and putting his family through hell.

[Theophilus]

Because self-serving cowardice, fecklessness and lethargy are infectious and won't hunt. Put them down.

Waylon Jennings "That Dog Won't Hunt"

Well you think that you can lie and tell me alibis
And it's alright
Keep the grapevine line working overtime
On your late nights
You think you can say some words, take away the hurt
And I'll still be your number one
But when it ain't working out we got a saying down South
Baby that dog won't hunt

[Chorus] Baby that dog won't hunt
So you can hang up your guns
Break my heart and then you want a new start
Baby that dog won't hunt

Well it's been open season on your double dealing
And it's so wrong
I guess I've been a fool playing by the rules
For too long
Well I've been sitting here at home with the porch light on
While you've been chasing everything that runs
Let me put this in your ear and make it be so clear
Baby that dog won't hunt

Patriots must give RINOs who escaped being primaried a free pass and reelect them in the 2018 midterm elections imo.

After all, if patriots don’t get out and vote Republican ticket then anti-Trump Democrats are going to take the seats that RINOs now hold and obstruct Trump even more.

Patriots need to plan to primary surviving RINOs, especially senators, for the 2020 and 2022 elections.

Insights welcome.

[fortheDeclaration]

We know that the problem is both the Democrats and RINO’S and need to give Trump more Senators to deal with both.

[confederatecarpetbag]

Yes, “most of it” is correct. I thought that’s what I typed. But it’s what I get for posting on a smartphone from a San Diego hotel room LOL

[SuperLuminal]

Actually I’m going to vote about 6 times...Just mumble in Spanish and shrug my shoulders...That works in MD...

[usconservative]

You’re the problem.

[38special]

Not me, I’m voting for Ted Cruz here in Texas and my congressional rep.

[backwoods-engineer]

And you’re fooling yourself.

[PigRigger]

Yes...

[usconservative]

Keep telling yourself that if that’s what makes you feel better ... doesn’t change the fact you’re part of the problem.

[dforest]

I am not staying home and letting those nasty monsters win with no fight.

[Kickass Conservative]

Now there is a winning Strategy, surrender to your Enemy because some of your Troops are incompetent.

I’m sure the Rats will treat us well in their POW Camps.

[dforest]

She is a RAT, she probably voted before she was born.

[Exit148]

I am a broken glass voting FReeper

Either confirm Cavanaugh, or lose Congress.

I share your rage of the GOP in general. But not much we can do this election cycle.

Of the three problem GOP senators on this nomination, one is retiring, and the other two are not up for reelection.

Staying home and handing the Congress to the Dem party will not harm those three traitors in the least.

[metmom]

Absolutely not, no way in the world, would I EVER consider staying away from voting.

The harder the dems push, the harder I am going to fight back.

[af_vet_1981]

If the GOP allows this character assasination to be successful, then there is no point in voting at all...

Because both parties are useless.

Hard to take other comments seriously with nonsense like this that oversimplifies reality and insults intelligence.

Both parties are not useless. The GOP has 47-51 reliable votes depending on the issue (thanks to Roy Moore losing), 10% support in the MSM, and has still been winning most of the battles against a Democrat Party intent on taking the country completely socialist ala Europe or even South/Latin America. Man/Woman up, be brave, persevere, and vote!
