Someone up above noted he/she would vote against every Republican incumbent in the primaries and for the Republican nominee in the general election. Not a bad idea.

No, it is a bad idea. The Republican Party as a whole, nation-wide, needs to be sent a message in 2006. Otherwise, it is just the same old crap over and over. Conservatives should sit out 2006 or vote solidly against Republicans. The message is, "we put you in there, we can take you out."

'2006 vote solidly against Republicans'

that's like cutting off your nose to spite your face! I suggest it's better to start calling, emailing, rallying..whatever....to let incumbent Repubs know 'the people' are not happy. I, for one, do not want to help elect any liberal Democrats! Problem seems to be that too many people (Repubs) who are not happy.....will talk but not act.

Unbelievably ignorant about the nature of what republicans are up against. Have some faith in them. Most rep pols are absolutely terrific people.

NOOOOO! Do not do this. We will set ourselves back years. We have a chance to have some influence on Republicans, we have no chance with dems. Do not cut off your nose to spite your fact. Start writing your reps real letters, not emails, if you aren't already. Do whatever you can to get your voice heard. But let's don't shoot ourselves in the foot.

Nonsense. Reminds me of throwing a tantrum, picking up my marbles and going home. I certainly won't be following this approach because it's immature. An adult works to change the situation and influence their errant congressman through letters, calls, personal face to face etc. as well as thoughtful choosing of who gets campaign contributions. Those who don't receive contributions need to be told precisley why.

But to vote solidly against all R's is throwing the baby out with the bath water and a very good way to get RATS in office. And to not vote at all slaps the faces of those who went before us and struggled and died so we COULD vote and I won't besmirch their sacrifices in that way.
