You honestly equate voting only for conservative candidates with "staying at home"...?

Yes, because most of you purists are too persnickity to back a candidate who can win.

I’ve heard too many FReepers vow to sit out an election on ideological grounds. There are certainly Americans whom I would wish to stay home on election day, but never a conservative.

Too many did in 2006, and we got Pelosi/Reid. Pure stupidity.

I’m a pragmatist. I’ll contribute time and money to get my most-favored candidates to the nomination. But if I don’t get my way at the Republican convention, I will back whoever that party puts on the ticket.

We must remove Obama from office. Period. And if it’s not an ideologically pure conservative who does it, I will still be thankful.

And that poster is really offensive to one who takes faith seriously.

Perhaps that’s what you intended.
