You misunderstand. Your advice was to stay home or vote 3rd party. Your opinion was that it would damage the Republicans and elect Democrats. I intend to take your advice and ignore your opinion.

My advice was the most sarcastic it could be. I'm sorry that you misunderstand. I believe that Patton was right, that sometimes you have to swallow something less than perfect in order to avoid something FAR worse. Hillary as President, Schumer as Attorney General, ultra-libs being nominated to all of the federal courts, surrendering in Iraq and tearing the military down yet again - these will be the wages of being able to say "See, I taught those RINOs a lesson!"

I'm no Bushbot - he's really screwed up on a lot of things, immigration only being the latest. But what do you think that Hillary and a Dem Congress will do on immigration? They'll flood the nation EVEN MORE with illegals (oh, excuse me, "undocumented Americans") who will vote for the Dems to be in power in OVERWHELMING numbers.

This election is a tipping point. We are near the rocks, and if we let the drunken teenagers take the helm then you can kiss the ship goodbye.

Vote how (or if) you want - that's your right. Just be aware that your choices will be increasingly narrow and distasteful if Hillary and the Dems win. Too many of the good people will be jailed, put on terror watch lists, or otherwise made ineligible for office or cowed into not running. Yes, it'll be THAT bad - she's extraordinarily power-hungry, and will do anything to obtain, increase and keep it that she can get away with. Vote, or not, knowing that.
