You are the type of voter that dim propaganda works on best. I'll bet they would offer you a full time job as a member of a "focus group".

I wonder if because of this piece the MSM will vault the Washington Times as being a "voice of sanity on the right" the same way it did when the Times called on Hastert to resign.

The voice of sanity calls for Harry Reid to be investigated................

NOT VOTING WILL NET YOU PELOSI AND GEORGE SOROS

VOTE & VOTE REPUBLICAN OR KISS THE REPUBLIC GOODBYE!

The same geniuses voted for Ross Perot and gave us the Clintons for eight years and possibly the presidency of Hillary! as their rancid legacy lives on. Stupidity of that magniture is hard to top.

...these anticipated conservative non-voters are annoyed with Republican imperfection.

Imperfection? Talk about a strawman.

Republicans are still light years better than the Democrats under ALL scenarios

Yeah but conservatives are even better than Republicans so, in order to avoid those nightmarish scenarios, why not come back to basic conservative principles?

Then go ahead and insult me because I am in no mood to vote Democrat Lite.

OK, you are a fool. That you would put lunatics in charge of this nation during the WOT proves it. I am sick to death of people so conservative that they would hand power in this nation over to the likes of Pelosi, Murtha, Kennedy.

You go ahead a do what you must, but all you will get from me is derision.

Dan, that's fine with me. So let's work within the framework of the only politically viable party available to us.

If current polls and anecdotes are to be believed, there may be a million or two conservative Republicans who are planning to not vote this November.

I don't necessarily believe them.

"For Heaven's sake...you don't even know who this candidate is, yet you would vote for him/her?"

You're making an assumption there. Your assumption is incorrect.

Yeah but two years after Clinton was elected the Republicans saw the writing on the wall, got serious, and we got a lot of very conservative men in congress that cut back spending and social programs.

Wrong...I'm not assuming anything. Just going by your words here where you said you WOULD vote for the 3rd party candidate without even knowing if there was one.

If there is a third party candidate, I will vote for them

So many of these articles are seemingly hoping for the self-fulfilling prophecy effect, I think.

I'm not buying any of it as I've yet to run into ONE person who leans right saying they are staying home. Not ONE.

You stay home that is exactly what you are doing....and while that may not be stupid, it's a real good impersonation of stupidity.

That's what I'm doing. I'm using the only club I have. I'm withholding my vote until they come to their senses. It worked in '92 to get a conservative congress in '94. Maybe we will get another Ronald Reagan in '08. It's amazing what a good swift kick in the butt will do.

Nice of you to help elect Pelose as Speaker while our people are dying in Iraq.

That may sound hyperbolic but it's true. More power in the House will likely get more killed thru the WOT as well as terror attacks. Al Queda will be thrilled when you allow Dems more power at this time in history.

"Hi. I'm Dan. I didn't vote for you in 2006 so you really need to listen to me in 2008." Geez.....
