I'm tired of Rep voters that stay home and give the election to Dem's because they're a one issue voter.

And you would prefer what? Retraining camps? Doing away with voting, altogether?

Like it or not, any adult citizen has the right to vote as they choose -- either for or against or not at all. Yes, sitting at home on election day is a voter's right.

That defaults to the political parties and candidates -- if you want the vote, earn it. If you can't earn it, don't expect to get it by default.

We have had too much default votes in previous elections -- by having to choose between the lesser to two evils.

If you don't like the way the voters voted, tough! This is the manner of our elective form of government.

[The GOP can't even figure out why they lost in 06. So, how the hell do they expect to win in 08?]

Easy TomGuy, I'm not quarreling with our method of voting, etc., but I don't have to like the inane "principled," "no vote to send a message" crowd. Based on your reaction I assume you're one of those?
