For instance, I will NEVER vote for someone who supports gun control. I don't care what the initial next to their name says. "Brady bill" Bob Dole come to mind?
OK. So the R is for gun control lite, lower taxes, traditional marriage, and fiscal restraint. And the D is for strict gun control, higher taxes, LGBT bathrooms in the schools, and new entitlements.
Outraged by the R's support for gun control, the Dead Corpse stays home or votes third party. And the D wins! How is the Dead Corpse better off as a result?
Maybe more of you should hold true to your principles rather than selling them out for a meaningless initial next to some RINO's name.
Principles have no place in the voting booth. Voting third party is like a child stomping his feet in frustration, except nobody hears you.
I looked the statistics up.

A black or Latino conservative could be running in the future to alter the trend as well. I found it interesting that in 1964 a white Texan, Lyndon Johnson got a higher percentage of the black vote (94%) than Obama got (93%) last November.
We had a presidential election decided by 537 votes in Florida in 2000 with the winner losing the national popular vote but winning the presidency by 5 Electoral votes.
Stil not sure what your point is, or where you’re going, or what you would suggest. Are you suggesting there are lessons for Republicans with Christie’s black and latino vote versus that of Cuccinelli?
There aren’t .but I’m thinking you might believe otherwise...
BUMP
The left promises single women autonomy from males and that they’ll be taken care of regardless.
This is basically the same lie as the serpent in the garden.
Voting for the lesser of Two Evils is still voting for Evil.
The specifics of Christie and Cuccinelli are not what I’m talking about. I am talking about conservative candidates and tickets that appeal to a broader cross-section of voters versus candidates and tickets that appeal to a more narrow cohort of voters. I used historical data to underscore the point.
