I haven't given a dime to the Neo-Whig party since Bush I.
You're right. Same with me. Every election is, "the most important election of our lifetime," and "now is not the time to abandon the party for the sake of ideological purity."
If we had "abandoned the party" in 1988, instead of nominating the first "New World Order" idiot, we wouldn't be in the shape we're in now. It has to start sometime, the sooner the better. I hope many will give up their hopes for the corrupt GOPe to reform itself. Their problems are genetic.
If we don't put our feet down now, in four years it will be the same old story with the same tired "my guy is less bad than their guy."
