I will no longer encourage the Republicans to do what they have been doing. No vote from me in November. Been there, done done. Got Romney. Got McCain. Got Bush. Got Dole.

I'm done. They got my vote and I got people like Obama.

Hell, I can stay home in November and get Obama just as easy.

The GOP needs to change. Voting for loser candidates does not send that message. When I stay home, I send the message: I've voted straight Republican for over 40 years and now my vote is no longer theirs.

GOP: get a clue.

The GOP needs to change.

That happened in 1976 - 1980 with Reagan. It won't happen again until a dynamic conservative leader emerges and unifies the opposition. We have had lots of good conservatives, but none with the leadership skills required. This primary process has been a disaster.

Yes, it's the establishments fault. But they may be counted on to always do what they have done.

Staying home doesn't send a message, only ‘under-votes’ do that.

Those that fail to vote at all do nothing, and the reason for it isn't counted at all, because it could be anything.

Example...Your GOP congress man wins the district by 15%, but POTUS RINO loses the district by 10%. THAT they can see in the vote totals that are part of an easily searchable record.

Just leave that slot blank. Protest write-ins don't work either.
