Conservatives will HAVE to show up in 2014 regardless of what happens.

Count me out. I will vote for Tea Party candidates only. I have held my nose and voted for our idiot over their's, one too many times already. It is clear that the establishment Republicans are every bit the enemy of this country as the Democrats (who, at least, are somewhat honest about their goals). A conservative Republican will get my full support. Others need not apply.

And I have a strong feeling that I am far from alone in this sentiment. Lose courage in this battle, and 2014 will be a trainwreck for the GOP.

There will be conservative republicans, real conservative republicans, running in 2014 so that is a moot point to begin with. And they will need all the support they can get. Stopping the fight simply over whether or not the House GOP wins or loses this game of chicken is in and of itself showing cowardice and a lack of principle. And if we at the grassroots level show that kind of cowardice and lack of principle, then we really can’t expect any better from ANYONE we elect to represent us in Congress.
