Have not read all your posts but ........
If the Republican party is so bad (from your viewpoint), how does voting for the democrats help it?
If you should think abandoning the party will "show" them - get a grip. Just how important do you think one vote is?
Seems to me, better republican representatives would come from recruitment and voting them in - not leaving the party and throwing your vote to the democrat candidate. Afterall, they are recruiting the socialistic/communistic person and pushing them to power.
And you are doing all in your power to help them - because you turned your back on their only opponent. I am sure they are salivating every time they can encourage people to abandon the GOP because the GOP is just not good enough.
What a smart ploy - and it is working.
And, just maybe we have the poor representatives we have BECAUSE so many conservatives turn their backs and allow the middle of the road candidates to get pushed forward.
So - all the complaining should be directed at those voters who left the party in earlier times.
Important enough to trigger a prime time speech from the oval office if it's repeated enough times.
