Bravo Bob Ireland-- I am not a Republican, either, and never have been-- probably never will be, for many of the same reasons.
But not voting is a loser solution. I vote for the best candidate available-- that sometimes means voting for a RINO, but it also means voting for quality people in primaries and third parties when necessary.
There will never be an optimal voting solution for true conservatives.
For the record: the problem is not whether I vote; the 'Pubbies have taken away my vote [except for Senate, Gov and Prez]. In this district my vote is of no consequence whatsoever for the U.S. House and state offices.
