If Cruz can be elected as President, then maybe a bunch of those unfit GOP Congressmen get be replaced by conservatives in 2016. And the rest of the gutless cowards may be so scared of Cruz’s victory they will tuck their tails in and get into line, lest they get booted out in 2018.

Voting is important in republics, for citizen participation in the government is essential. In despotic countries, voting only strengthens the despot; it give the patina of legitimacy to authoritarian rule.

After a lifetime of never missing a presidential or mid-term election, I will do the same as you in 2016.

Its time to take back the powers illegally assumed by the Uniparty.

That’s because the GOP-e are just another wing of the leftist takedown of the only free Christian Nation on earth.

Yes...while we have more than one (voting) Constitutional ability to show disfavor with out government or party, we don’t use them all.

In 2012, many conservatives voted for (none of the above) or did not show up, which I believe may have aided the Obama campaign. While the result was terrible, I don’t think the country was any better or worse off for it because as we can plainly see, it no longer seems to matter what party is in power because in the end, the same stupid legislation or lack of needed good legislation continues.

Our government therefore is corrupt.

Very frustrating...

Yes.....The founders knew well and spoke much about the danger that the public might become disengaged or worse, discover that they can vote themselves a share of the treasury or anything else they wanted.

But in spite of the danger, the freedom to fail was the more salient point.

Well.......Fail. we have.
