Exactly the point! So, now you can imagine how the average American swing voter who is not so informed as a freeper must feel about the republican controlled government. Whether that feeling is misguided or not... it does not matter in the end when they come out and put their vote in the box.
If the base is very unhappy about the failed leadership of their party...you can multiply that unhappiness many times over for the non-partisan average American voter who is paying almost $4 a gallon for gas just to drive by illegals waving a mexican flag on his way to work to pay taxes to help support those illegals which our president claims are here to do the jobs that Americans wont do.
I agree the situation is bad for the GOP. My point was that FReepers, unlike regular voters, should be smart enough to understand that voting third-party, or not voting (it amounts to the same thing) are very destructive responses -- are at most good for the ego, but otherwise very irresponsible and dangerous.
