RUSH today tried to explain this to the conservatives I am not voting because Republicans are too liberal group. I know this is a complete waste of my time to try and communicate to you that are passionately pissed off at Republicans. But for the sake of our fighting forces overseas and our kids. If you do not like the Liberals and RINOs in the Republican party you have to do the hard work of getting local conservatives to run for office in your school board, city and county races. Then they have to run for state wide offices and finally congress and senate at the national level. Not voting for the Republicans in order to punish them will not make these rank and file conservatives show up at the local level training camp to work up the major leagues into national politics. Just where do you think congressional and senate candidates come from? Some RNC boot camp or RNC training camp that has a computer database of RINO and Real Conservatives and they just call them up and say by the way will you run for the local congressional district? If you dont vote and they loose congress and the senate do you think they will just go oh my we sure better listen to the conservatives! Joe call up that job bank and change if from RINOs to only true blood conservatives that we will run for office. That is not how it works, there is a local pool of political candidates in local governments and on occasion local business people or lawyers and professional people who decide to run. If your in a semi-liberal state and all these local folks are RINOS then thats all the RNC has to work with. The RNC will fund and support anyone locally to run for any office. They have to take what they can git in the local job pool. I will say again not voting does not make more conservatives show up to win elections. Only local grassroots politics by you the enthusiastic conservatives gets that pool of potential candidates who can take over the Squish Republicans and its party. It is hard work. a lot harder than not voting.

Its simple: the economy is booming, unemployment is down, interest rates are down, the stock market is up, we have been protected from a major terrorist strike since 9-11 - why rock the boat?
Any conservative that stays home and does not vote is just a tool of the left and deserves the ridicule and loathing that the the Dems have to offer.
