Real conservatives can withhold their vote from both parties.
Staying at home or a vote for a 3rd party in Nov would send a strong message to both parties, we are sick of politicians putting the interest groups ahead of the people they are PAID to represent.
In the long run both parties have the same masters.
Yeah! The message is they can write off conservative voters, so they better moderate their views, if they want to win. It is the kind of thinking that elected Clinton, to punish Bush Sr for breaking his pledge on taxes. Less than a month after swearing in, and working harder than he ever had in his life, President Clinton reneged on his promised middle class tax cut. Then he raised taxes.
As a consequence the GOP realized the error of it's ways and pushed arch conservative Bob Dole to placate the right fringe of the party. Conservatives stayed home to send their message once again. In response the party pushed mega-paleocon Dubya. What an amazing strategy the conservatives have to get their way.
After 4 years of RINO Dubya, the right wing again flexed their muscle and propelled the combined 3rd party vote to nearly 1%. Voter apathy over the 2 main parties propelled the highest voter participation since 1968.
In the long run both parties have the same masters.
Yes the voters. Those who vote 3rd party or stay home are irrelevant. One of the 2 parties party will win and they can be assured that you did not vote for them, therefore they have no obligation to listen to you.
