I don’t think that is a fully accurate picture.

We do face an existential threat in America, and for all their hideous warts and hunchbacks, the Republican party isn’t it. The statist ideology represented by B. Hussein Obama and his cabal are the threat.

Wait, what?
No, seriously, what?

The Republican party is all for that statist ideology you mention.
As was pointed out in Post 25 and 67:

The GOP had majority power in the House and Senate, and occupied the White House, 10 years ago. What did they do with all that power to move the agenda of liberty forward?
Answer: nothing.
A GOP that cannot even sell liberty, limited governments and free markets to the American people is worse than useless.
It is a party of tyranny enablers, and I will have none of it.

What about things they could have stood against?

Amnesty (instead of their “path to citizenship”/“comprehensive immigration reform” BS)
Bailouts (instead of “I had to abandon free market principles in order to save the free market system.”)
ObamaCare itself (instead of their “fix the bad parts and keep the good parts” BS)
the NDAA (especially its indefinite detainment)
the NSA's domestic espionage (seriously, with as unpopular as this is the only explanation of why they didn't go full-bore against it is that they approve of it!)
the IRS's political targeting (like the above; most Americans [even those with a somewhat liberal bent] find the political targeting reprehensible.)
aiding terrorists (instead of Fast & Furious, arming Syria, etc)
irresponsible financial practices (they perpetually spending more than they take, raise the debt-ceiling, and sell the people, their children, and their children's children into slavery; after all, the national debt is money secured against future income [taxes], the taxes imposed on the earnings of the country's residents.)

(Thanks to BigSkyFreeper for mentioning many items on that list.)
If the Republican party cannot, or will not, address any of these issues why should I, or anyone, vote for their candidates?

The Republican party is like the NRA: perpetually screaming "they're going to take your guns" but then not pushing back against the underlying mechanisms that would allow confiscation (or infringement in general): when was the last time you saw the NRA really push for repeal of the GCA or NFA? — No, that would eliminate the urgency of their cries, it would also make them have to spend money on some other advertising scheme. — Exactly like the Republicans and their constant the other guy's worse! schtick.

Likewise, when was the last time you saw the Republican party push back against voter fraud?
How about cutting off the IRS's power with a universal flat-rate income tax, no exemptions, no write-offs, no credits, no exceptions?
How about destroying agencies whose whole SOP revolves around shitting on the Constitution? (e.g. the NSA, the TSA, the EPA, the DEA, etc.)
Apparently they can't be bothered to do that. What good are they?

Apparently, they are the lesser of two evils, and we owe them our vote regardless of their history or actual intent — apparently we owe them our undying allegiance, our religious fervor, and yes, even our very souls!

Join us reading the Psalms, chapter 23 (HERS):
1 The Party is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 They maketh me to lie down in green cards: and leadeth me beside the turbulent waters. 3 They restoreth my soul: they leadeth me in the paths of The Party for their pride's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of statism, I will fear no evil: for they art with me; their lesser of two evils, they comfort me. 5 They preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies, terrorists & invaders: they anointest my head with urine; my poisoned cup surely runneth over. 6 Surely humiliation and spite shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Republican Party for ever.
Now, join us in our irrational oblational devotional:
Master Republican guide us. Master Republican teach us. Master Republican protect us. In your light we thrive. In your mercy we are sheltered. In your wisdom we are humbled. We live only to serve. Our lives are yours.

Don’t bother SoFlo, there is no arguing with that type of person that hates the “GOP-E” so much that they can’t see the democrats that are stabbing the country in the face.

Cannot play with them, cannot win with them, cannot coach with them, can’t do it.

“the Republican party isn’t it.”

*facepalm*

Yeah, they vowed ONLY to crush us.

As I told the other party sycophant, no way I`m staying home, I`m voting third party and if you don`t like it, you can BITE ME TOO!
