"I won't stay home but I will vote conservative. What that means for the GOP is up to them."

With all due respect, please explain to me why splitting the Republican Party vote, thereby electing Democrats, is good for the country, and by extension, good for you.

Work to change the party from within, but don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. Unless you can point out what I'm missing, I'll hold my nose and vote Republican.

Pelosi as Speaker? Rangel chairing Ways and Means?

Much, much, scarier - and more dangerous - than electing soft Republicans.

There's an election every two years.

Rewarding the GOP for their liberal ways is not really the answer.

Booting them out of office for a term may just be that answer.

Scare tactics don't work with me.

The "work to change the party from within" approach has been a giant failure. The gop has been heading in the wrong direction on too many issues for far too long.

For many, this is a matter of trust and faith, a lack of both as it applies to the republican party.

I once asked a die-hard republican what his vote would be if the only two candidates in the race were a democrat and socialist workers party candiate................

He said he'd stay home......................
