So do I and I donate to Matt

I'm glad to hear it. But what I would like to see is the GOP-E attempting to actually earn my vote instead of feeling they are entitled to it.

I've got something they want. If they want to earn it, they are welcome to try. That means running conservatives.

I would never stay home from an election, no responsible citizen would. I have voted in every election available to me since the age of 18. But I won't be taken for granted and I will not vote for people who are antithetical to what I believe, regardless of their party.

If they want my vote, they can try to earn it. I don't vote against. I vote for.

Well, you have your philosophy and I have mine. This election, if the choice is between Lindsey Graham and a Democrat, I’m voting democrat because I believe it’s the fastest way to grow true conservatives.

You’ve laid it out exactly right; can’t disagree with anything you’ve said.

No more status quo for the GOPe. No more phony lesser of 2 evils.

We need to support the better choice for America, McConnell, not Grimes

If I lived in Kentucky I would consider whether a weak democrat is less damaging to the country than a powerful RINO.

Weak dim, easy choice for me.

lets regroup, support the best choice for the US, and keep praying

False premiss McConnell is not the best choice, he might be if he did not have the leadership position within the party. If he resigned that position maybe he would be an acceptable compromise.

Voting for a RINO is the same as voting for any other Tyrant.

So you prefer dirty harry reid to turtle mitch?

You presume that if Mitch loses we will lose the Senate, stuffit.

Well, the way I figure it, voting for a Democrat grows the Democrat party.

Never voting for a Democrat and voting for the most rightward viable conservative candidate in EVERY race is the way to nurture and grow the conservative movement.

We disagree on strategy and tactics, but I trust we both want the same outcome, the most conservative Republican majority possible. In that, I hope we succeed.

I would classify you under the heading of damn fool. That is,
cutting off your nose to spite your face
