"Amen to that!! I will stay home rather than vote for a RINO at the federal, state, or local level. I've had it up to here with the whole bunch."

I have finally seen the light, also.

I have berated, here in the past, Freepers who were screaming about the borders, the p/c way we are fighting the war, the Republican lack of focus and their blatent failure to act like a majority, the President failing to communicate his ideas to the American people, etal.

I too, unless there is some drastic change, will stay home. It will be the first time I will have missed voting in an election, local or national, in 44 years.

Bring on the Democrats. It will simply bring on the Second Un-Civil War sooner, rather than later.

You may be right about that. Your tagline says all: The barbarians are at the gate and the Democrat Party will open it for them.

Especially when we hand them the keys.

Why not vote your conscience instead? I'm giving the Constitution Party a serious look. Win or lose (which they likely will), I'll know I didn't personally sacrifice principle for short term expedience (fighting a hideous Dem) that would only support the continuing long-term decline under the quasi-Dem GOP.

I have been yelled out here in the past for even suggesting that I might stay home and not vote. Well, I see it simply, I refuse to vote for a socialist democrat. Why in the heck would I vote for a socialist republican then? If there is no difference in the two, then it does not matter if I withhold my vote from either. A vote for McScream, Chaffey, Stowe or whatever the heck her name is, is the same as a vote for a liberal democrat. I don't like liberals, democrats, socialists, communists, etc., so why would I vote for a republican that prances around pretending to be a conservative, while really just a stinking liberal? I will continue to vote on issues involving non-people at the state and local level, where the vote is up or down against a certain thing. However, I have had it with the people they parade out here as conservative republicans. I find very few of those exist. They certainly no not exist here in WA state or the northwest. But, I have had it with the republican party. I no longer send money, and now I will no longer send votes. Even my wife who really pays little attention to politics asked why we continue to vote for people that are no different? I am not going to try to explain it to her any more, because she is right. It is not worth it. So, why bother. While I support Bush on the war on terror, I believe he has failed miserably in other areas. Like the border issue, huge spending bills, silly mistakes in other areas.
