A fair point, but I’ll take someone who I agree with 80% of the time, over someone who I agree with 0% of the time.

Sure, but what if it's not 80% of the time?

What if you really can't be sure of what you'll get, but it's probably going to average out closer to 50-50 or even 45-55?

Is it better to let the opposition get tagged for blame or the party you'd prefer to support for both doing exactly the same things, just the GOPe's not quite as bad?

What's the difference between them really? Not much, just a matter of time.

See what three decades worth of GOPe progressive moderation does against the real deal progressivism of the demonrats?

It just makes you disgusted and ask questions instead of pledging your heart and digging into your wallet.

Nothing of this world is too big to fail, especially not a political party that walks away from its base to hug and kiss the opposition.

In this particular race, there were a number of good choices in the primary, Brannon among them. However, they all lost. It's time for me to move on, and play the hand that's dealt.

I'll grant that the difference between BO and Romney, or McCain, was "Not Much". For that matter, Bush was no great shakes, though I'd take him over any of the other three.

However, the difference between 49 and 51 Senate Republicans is enormous. Ditto 217 and 218 House Republicans. So, until I see a candidate in the race who's not running a YouTube campaign out of his basement (like the current Libertarian candidate is) and might get more than 2-3% of the vote.... Tillis will have my support.

What if you really can't be sure of what you'll get ......If you don't even bother, you can be certain that you'll always get zero percent of what you want.

Of course, for all too many FReepers, sitting on their hands and being martyrs gives them the right to b*tch and moan about how awful all of the candidates were, how all of the Republicans are RINOs that will never measure up to their standards, and how things would be much, much better if everyone just conformed to their particular world view.

I know what you are saying I do agree with the sentiment but even if its 45% of the time, its better than 97% of the time against not just what I believe but against me personally as a citizen and taxpayer. Her votes and beliefs directly attack me, all of us, really...starting with zerocare, porculous 1&2, Dodd Frank and every other piece of freedom shredding legislation the scumbag and his party could dream up to steal from wage earners and bestow on the gibmedats.

She has her hand in the direct perversion and destruction of our Constitution. NO WAY will I not vote against her. That leaves Tillis by default as the person who has at least the chance of defeating her.
She has got to go and the Senate has got to be turned.
