As the days trickle down to a precious few before Election Day, I have become increasingly depressed by the comments I've read on several conservative forums. There are way too many conservatives expressing dissatisfaction with the GOP candidates running next month and in the possible lineup in 2016. They say before they vote for a RINO, they'd rather stay home.
There was a time when I would have admired their principled position but not this year. It is vitally important that the Republicans take over the Senate because the sad fact is that President Obama would never have been able to wreak havoc on this country without the hundreds of Democrat minions in Congress. In the two years plus left on his administration, he can continue to issue executive orders, appoint Marxist justices to circumvent the Constitution, diminish the military and continue to enjoy million-dollar taxpayer funded golfing vacations.
My brother Joe, who has terminal cancer, is visiting us for what may be the last time but what is most paramount on his mind is the terrible state of the nation. I have been trying to calm Joe down because the right frame of mind is necessary for him to fight his dreadful prognosis. Unfortunately, he is a former marine who has served his country well and he views the decline of America as a slap in the face and a mockery of the many years he spent doing his duty.
Joe says, "Obama hates the military and he hates the veterans and that goes for all the Democrats who carry out his orders..."

Yep, hold your nose and vote. Give them the consent of the governed.
Come on, I only put 1% urine in the wine, drink up!
Sorry, after getting stabbed in the back repeatedly by the GOP who has vowed to crush me, I will not vote for anyone who does not EARN my vote.
Thank goodness I am Texas and have people to vote FOR.
Nice appeal, but I fear it will fall on deaf ears.
Indeed. Imagine Charlie Crist as the GOP senator from Florida?
Sra. Colon perhaps has not looked at what an entire GOP-e government in DC did for six years?
Bingo
Well OK. Ill go vote but when I vote, I won’t vote for McConnell or a critter that repeatedly votes for Boehner.
I live in Massachusetts - it makes no difference.
you got it backwards. we don’t vote for whatever RINO you trot before us, you trot someone before us we can vote for.
Your absentee ballot might not be counted unless the voting is close.
Exactly! To go from Big Government Bush Whacking Bush to the media favorite openly Back Stabbing McCain was a ballot too far. The GOPe is just as deadly and destructive to this country as the Democrats and must be fought at every turn and every election. This fight cannot be postponed until later because there may be no later.
Not gonna happen—Been slandered by own party one time too many.
They’ve said they don’t need me, so eff ‘em.
Every election cycle the same thing. “This election is too important!” Get a new refrain already.
And the cycle continues.
I am done holding my nose. I WILL stay home. Because the GOP is going to die just as sure as we all are. And it is going to die, in political terms, pretty soon (20 years max). Demographics can not be overcome UNLESS there is a clear, smart, other way. But we aren’t doing that. We scream and yell, but we are lining up to vote for the GOPe anyway. Why would they change?
This election, in the long run, is pretty meaningless I don’t care who “wins”. What matters is a fundamental change in the one Party we can change ... the GOP.
But we won’t do it. We will do what we are told. And we will vote the GOP into extinction.
This gal is right on the money!!! Thank you American woman!!! Every American voter...regardless of political stripe, needs to turn out, on election day, Tuesday, November 4, 2014......and vote against every single Democrat running for office this year. The “Obamabot” Democrat Party must be politically destroyed, right now, if our nation is to survive as a free republic!!!
What is the GOPe runnng on? Nothing. They don’t deserve a vote.
