God save us from self-professed "conservatives" who will announce they'll stay home on Election Day as a demonstration of their power.
Because as we all know, you become more influential in politics and government and public life by staying home and doing less.
....
Does the "I'm staying home" crowd apply this to everything in life? "I don't like the way the company is run, so I'm not going to work."
"Honey, I'm just not happy with your performance as a spouse, so I'm going to be less active in the marriage until you improve."
"Kids, I'm disappointed with your performance in school. Until you improve, I'm ignoring you."
The thing is, I wonder how often the "I'm staying home this year" crowd voted before. In fact, I wonder if they ever vote.
I don't understand the "I've never been more fearful for the future of this country, but I'm not willing to do anything about it" mentality.
Ronald Reagan is not walking through that door, folks.

Not THIS one!
Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
OOOoooh!
You got the Number!
Reflecting on the past election, it was conservatives that lost their own effort. There was no conservative candidate. There were several. That several ability reflects the fact there is no “conservative “ agreement.
There is internal conservative dissention. That dissention was evident, perhaps most evident, on Free Republic where posters came near to blows arguing minor points sometimes supported by Bible verses. Where there is no single voive or agreement there can be no primaried conservaative candidate.
There is great agreement that the GOPe powers are at fault. The fact is, conservatives chose to disagree about what they believe in most and thus failed to put forth a vaible candidate.
If the GOPc continues to fight over trivial internal issues, they will never be capable of fielding a candidate to win the primary.
Well the GOP leadership better find a Ronald Reagan in their ranks. I have a hard time believing there is not one in a country of over 300 million people.
We have a winner!
If there is the GOP establishment will hunt them down, crush them, and make sure they're never hear from again.
AMEN!
NO one wants the You hate CHILDREN!!! albatross around their neck at the next election!
(Considering how we manage to kill off one million future Americans before they're born every year; I, for the life of me, cannot figger how Democrats and Liberals can claim they they LOVE children...)
My biggest issue with the Mittbots is that they tied up a large % of FR threads for MANY a year; posting about a man whose chosen religion was a SURE guarantee to turn off a LARGE percentage of voters!
Where is natural born citizen defined?
So was Obama's.
They voted to repeal Obamacare because the House knew it would go nowhere in the Senate. I suspect that if the GOP takes the Senate you'll never see another repeal voted on again.
When (if?) we EVER stop using the language of the left, and start ACCURATELY stating Border Invaders are what these illegal aliens, undocumented children and temporary workers are; THEN we might get somewhere!
There appears to be NO shame for those that continue to ENDORSE Romney to this day!
I’ve heard that melody; wafting through my window from time to time...
you are citing the dogma that is pretty much baseless
Voting for RINOs is like drinking a glass of wine that someone urinated in.
If we did what we needed to do several election cycles back we wouldn’t be in this mess now!
“Well the GOP leadership better find a Ronald Reagan in their ranks. I have a hard time believing there is not one in a country of over 300 million people.”
If there is the GOP establishment will hunt them down, crush them, and make sure they’re never hear from again.
When Reagan ran against Carter the GOPe tried their damnest to stop him. Thank God they failed!
If Reagan ran today a the GOPe and the FR RINO contingent would mock him and call him “unelectable.”
We'll see.
