>>>While I agree with the sentiments of the author, the general election is not the time or place to punish incumbent politicians by either not voting or voting for the dems>>>
When is then? Since the republicans in office show daily they are more interested in their own power and money then serving their base, instead catering to illegal aliens... WHEN is the time or place?
The primaries. Get the candidate you want in office then. Otherwise, by not supporting the GOP, you really are helping to get democrats elected. Staying home is just like pulling the lever for Pelosi.
