> We gave the Republicans the House, what have they done with it? Before that we gave them the Presidency [and the Congress], what did they do with it? Why should I believe that now, after a decade of giving them power, they will finally do my will? To assert that I must vote Republican, at this point, is to assert that I must reward unfaithfulness, deceit, and treachery. >

That's fallacious and you know it.
The more apt analogy is people in your camp, wearing your uniform, willfully commit an act of mass fratricide and then beg not to be put to death they promise this time they'll shoot at the enemy and not you — do you really want to keep them in your camp?

So, how does letting an Obama have a second term, or opening the door for a Hillary follow-on make things better? That's the truly fallacious argument when it comes to keeping the available Republicans out 'to make a point".
