I agree with 2nddivisionvet. In fact I lived it. I will not vote for Christie for Pres.

I refuse to vote for Meehan, my congressional rep, because he has failed to hold anyone accountable despite being on Oversight and for his staunch defense of the congressional staffers stipend for ACA. I will vote for his primary challenger if he has one, and then the democrat to oust him if needed.

I have never done this, but after all those years of Specter & Republican Party fiascoes, feel I have to. The Republican Party lost my financial donations years ago...now they will loose my vote.

I am tired of following the Buckley law. It has gotten us a bloated, invasive, obnoxious, out of control govt.

I understand the sentiment - I only donate to individual candidates these days and am very selective. However, If we all refuse to vote for a flawed RINO, it will ensure that Odumbo is not the last of his kind and the year that ObamaCare went into effect will soon be looked upon as the good old days.

Some folks are fine with that and keep hoping that we will either get the miracle Repub or we go so far down the tubes that there is blood in the streets as the Left does some "housecleaning".

If we are to fight effectively, it has to be before the primaries to try to get some decent candidates to choose from and then stay behind the best of them - folks blame Romney for destroying the competition but he couldn't have done it without some complicity as we let the better candidates go down the drain. Many bought into the slurs against Cain and others and protested not as they slipped away - mainly because the bar of "The Perfect Conservative" was set so high that they didn't measure up enough to rally around.

There's complaining and there's "active apathy" and self immolation - our side seems to have moved to the apathy/immolation stage. When we submit that we will not vote for someone who is nominally on our side, it is akin to telling Afghanistan's terrorists that they have won because we won't stand in their way anymore.
