I didn't say "whining", I said complaining..

but, I also said that it isn't supposed to be "scientific", in that, your vote wouldn't be tattoed on your forehead..(I thought that was rather witty, and you didn't even laugh..LOL)

Also, someone on this thread posted a link to the last thread that DID have more of a choice and it showed quite a few freepers that are ready to let the dems take over..IMHO.

That's not my take. What it shows are 773 (6.5%) people who would vote for Democrats (compare that to this poll, where 350 (19.1%) make a similar comment.), in answer to the poll quesion, "If the White House and GOP controlled congress does not act immediately to seal the borders, penalize employers who hire illegals and deport illegals when caught, how will it affect your vote in November?").

I will vote third party 31.8% 3,771
I will stay home 21.3% 2,530
I will vote for the Democrat 6.5% 773

I think the results also show that many people believe that the GOP doesn't take into account their concerns, based on the GOP inaction, so they may just as well stay home, which is their right, although I personally don't agree with staying home.

Although the consequences, if these poll numbers are an accurate (though non-scientific) reflection of how Americans feel, may well mean that the GOP doesn't win back a majority because it has failed to listen to its constituents, whose fault is that? Why would constituents continue to vote for the same people and expect a different result? That is the definition of insanity.
