Sure they will. They'll get the messages that a bunch of people joined the apathetic majority and didn't bother to vote. That's the only message they'll take from it.

The number of conservatives who will sit out the election is, perhaps, large enough to swing a very close election. It is not enough, however, to send any messages.

Suppose that voter turnout drops by 5% in this year's election. That's not unusual, really, for an non-presidential election year. The politicians who win their office will shrug it off. The ones that lose will look for the reasons they lost, but they'll still be out of office.

Don't deceive yourself: sitting out an election just makes you one of the apathetic majority. It does send the message that more voters are apathetic. That's the only message it sends.

A Republican President named Ronald Wilson Reagan granted the only amnesty for illegal aliens yet adopted and both George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush were subsequently elected as Republican Presidents AND the Republicans took control of Congress AFTER Reagan's amnesty.
The President obviously believes history will repeat itself.
