I agree with you. And I beleieveI hold some pretty deep conservative principles.

If folks stay home and the dumblecrats continue to win, then the conservative will be more marginalized than ever. They are not just fighting a party and their own party, they are fighting a press who continually hammers and insults, lies about the conservative position and denigrates them with complete impugnity. Even friendly outlets like Fox are becoming more left as they see the shift left.

So they can keep their principles pure in little silver boxes and curse as the broader culture turn its back on them until they will not be heard at all.

We continue to dream of some great conservative awakening that will sweep the country and all of their beliefs and creeds will suddenly be wondrously embraced and the eagles will fly with olive branches against a shining sun.

Ain’t gonna happen. Some swelling here, a few more conservatives elected there but we do not have an educated base from which to draw...smart young people who can be brought into the fold because we allow OUR kids to be victims of insidious indoctrination...even in good or Christian schools.

I am sucking it in and voting for Thom Tillis here because while he is the eGOP darling and my guy Bannon lost, I KNOW Hagan MUST be defeated, pretty much at all costs.

I know...I can see the posts about how principle triumphs and how much better sleep will be because those principles won out over compromise..

But I fear it will come at the cost of the destruction of the country.

We can win by chipping away at the rock. It’s how the pyramids were built and we can do it too. There is no perfect candidate and never will be. Vote for the best candidate and then work to get your issue resolved.

We’re seeing how totalitarian governments take over with the popular vote from the inside this time.

By all means, tell the point of losing our country to GOP pols that atr indistinguishable from Dems and the dems themselves. Please remind me why living in a principleless country is worth living in at all.

For 3 decades it has been the ‘we’ll get’em next election” Crap. It got worse every year. We arent budging. If America goes down it’s on the shoulders of the voters that took it down with RINOs assisting Dems. they will have done it and it is 100% their fault.

That’s definitely my concern. The best we can is fight like hell to get the most conservative candidate, but vote against the Democrats regardless.

Tillis has my vote for the same reasons.

please show me the difference between a Boner led house vs a Polousey led house.Everything Obama wants gets funded anyway and conservatives are cut out of the process.

We have to elect liberal republicans because they will do the right thing when we need them to.Conservatives need to support liberal republican candidates so we have the numbers.We need to trust the leadership every time they compromise with the democrats by giving them every thing they want because it’s all part of a secret master strategy. Conservatives need to be patient and support the leadership because they need to realize that you can’t get everything you want.When the conservative candidate beats the liberal republics in the primary and gets no support from the leadership in the general election thats because the leadership knows their unelectable and won’t appeal to the mainstream voter.When the liberal republican beats the conservative candidate the time for debate is over and we must close ranks to give Boehner and McConnell the numbers necessary to win.The best way to get out our message to the voters is to run ads saying I’m proud of my congressman John Boner he stands with me! Avoid any social issues as these only appeal to those church going morons! It’s not about shrining government but managing it more effectively.
Why are you staying home and not sending any cash!

I’m not Tillis fan, but, Hagan is a b**ch.
