They are apparently unconcerned that the winner will be worse.

How so?

Being a lifelong conservative I've supported the "lesser of two evils" and what did I end up with? In the last govt shut down the final proposal being voted on was whether Congress and their staffs should be exempt from obamacare or not. The GOPe "lesser of two evils" voted to exempt themselves and their staffs, but left it to be imposed on me and my family.

I guess they figure I'm not worth fighting for, since I'm self employed and only represent 15% of the health insurance buying public. I did see Tea Party conservatives fight for me, though. So I guess the one good thing that came out of that fight was I learned who really wants to represent me.

I won't vote for anymore GOPe candidates. I don't care if the GOPe gets a majority or not. They won't fight for what I believe in ie., freedom, limited govt, free markets.

But the Democrats will I guess. I am so tired of this all about me attitude you hear on here anymore. All you purist really believe that if you pout and stay home and let the dems win that will make it better for you, your family and the Country? Does 2008-2010 ring any bells? You have O’bama care because of just the attitude you just espoused. Conservatives need to stop living in their fantasy world and realize you are not always going to get everything you want. I supported with time, money and votes a great young conservative TP candidate in the primary, he came in third behind another TP candidate (they combined had more votes than the incumbent) and the GOPe incumbent. So am I going to sit home on election day, no. I am going to vote for the most conservative candidate left my incumbent Representative, because her opponent is a stark raving progressive who’s first vote will be for Princess Pelosi.

Sometimes it is going to come down to the lesser of two evils. That’s reality, grow up, deal with it. As my old man used to tell me, “The world is not fair and the sooner you realize that the easier life will be”
