Too many people hit the “R” button (well it’s a button here in Indiana) rather than vote for candidates.
Why Mitt Lost and it Wasn’t Very Close
November 8, 2012
The grassroots on the other side has spent ten years in community organizing, going door-to-door, creating coalitions of issues-driven, ideologically-funded third party groups that can do a lot of heavily lifting for GOTV [Get-Out-The-Vote].
The GOP on the other hand has eschewed groups like the tea parties, seeing the grass roots as a hindrance to our chances at being the cool kids at school.

I am a precinct captain where I live. I do not foresee myself putting out signs or standing in the cold at the polls on election day if Jeb or Fatso is the nominee.
... or making phone calls or contributing money - and I live in a swing state.
The GOP is only going to allow us to vote for an amnesty candidate. They have done so for the last 4 elections.
The Cheap Labor Express has paid them millions, probably billions by now, for an amnesty.
They mean to collect against the wishes of 70% of the citizens. I don’t know what’s wrong with that other 30% that wants to give up their country.
What is happening is not immigration. And it isn’t accidental that we have 30 million Fraudulently Documented Foreigners in our country.
Importing workers for the jobs that can’t be exported.
The Cheap Labor Express.
All the money and power of both parties are against us and yet we have defeated every attempt at amnesty since 2006.
Because we cannot fail.
We lose our country if we fail.
Don’t vote for amnesty or you will get it.
The only one doing that is Cruz and he is crucified by the RINO-e people.
You know, I am right there with you. I criticized people around here who said they would stay home, told them they were helping the enemy.
I WILL NOT VOTE FOR JEB OR MITT. For what it’s worth. I’ll vote for Kinky Friedman or somebody, and I’m not kidding about this. They better give me Walker, or Cruz, or Alan West, maybe even Rand Paul. I will not support a political ruling clASS that does not support me.
Whew, that felt good.
” .... I criticized people around here who said they would stay home, told them they were helping the enemy. “
I had to be one of the worst around here at criticizing people for staying at home. I was wrong.
What changed all that for me was seeing what happened in Mississippi between Thad and Chris McDaniel. The GOPe lost me. The republican party can no longer count on me.
After the GOP backstabed with cromnubus and the games in Mississippi... No thanks there is nothing they can do to get me back they are no better then the dems. Both parties are in service to the oligarchy. The people and the constitution be damned
There must rise an alternative party that is friendly to the US citizen first.
To get back voters they need to give them a candidate who is different from the dems but not an old rich white guy.
WE need to provide a conservative candidate. Instead of assuming “they”, meaning the GOP, will provide any candidate we would like to see in the primaries, WE need to be even more active in the next primary process.
I refuse to vote for a third party that has no chances of winning.
I refuse to vote for a rino who has no chance of winning.
I refuse to vote for a rino who might win.
you see them EVERY DAY here on F.R......if my guy doesn’t get nominated, i’ll stay home....PATHETIC..
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!signed/Hillary
Stay home then, you're the type that got us the $4.00 per gallon gas....think of how much you can save by not driving to the polls!!PATHETIC
BTTT

BS. I held my nose and voted for McLame and Mitt.
I am tired of blue states deciding who our candidates will be. I am tired of the media telling us who can win.
And I am tired of “open primaries” where democrats are able to decide who our candidates will be. Did you know that McCain had wrapped up the nomination before he even got to South Carolina? Did you know that he hadn’t even won a majority of REPUBLICANS in any state before he got there?
The GOPe doesn’t want to close our primaries. They fight it like crazy so that we can keep sending clowns like McLame and Lindsey Graham to Washington. The system is broken and the GOPe love it but I am sick of it.
I will not support Jeb Bush — immigration, common core, Barclays, on board of companies that benefited from ACA, etc., so spare me. He’s not much better than Hillary.
You just can't be serious with an asinine statement like that....I can't even wrap my mind around such ignorance....PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So if Hillary or Fauxtahona Warren wins, we can thank you. Thanks a lot
*spit*
