Not only that, but whatever happened to notifying your sitting RINO that you are voting for his Republican primary opponent because of his moderate-left stand? Let them know that if they do win the party's nod to run against the dem candidate, they'd better do a better showing the next term or their next Republican opponent will succeed. Staying home only helps the dems.

There is problem, that when an incumbent Republican gets defeated by an unknown Republican, that puts the seat in play for the Dems, so NOMINATING a conservative in the primary does NOT necessary mean that a conservative will actually get elected, frequently it's the exact opposite, you are trading a moderate Republican for a liberal Dem.

More GOP seats at risk in House

Pollsters, analysts say once-safe incumbents are looking more vulnerable in fall elections

"The nonpartisan Cook Political Report, which tracks congressional races, increased the number of Republican seats viewed as competitive on Friday to 36 from 24, said Amy Walter, an analyst there.
Democrats seem to be in increasingly good shape to pick up seats in bands of districts across Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New York, as well as districts throughout Ohio, North Carolina, Arizona, New Mexico, California and Florida. Democrats need to pick up 15 Republican seats to take control of the House.
"Clearly what we are seeing is that the political environment is taking a toll and dragging down Republican incumbents; it's dragging down their polling numbers," Walter said. "The question is, what will the environment be in November?"

All thanks to the fuax conservatives and gullible conservatives who fall for the faulty logic, while the Dems will laugh all the way to the Congressional Takeover.
