If you can name any other party who has passed ANY legislation limiting government, reducing taxes or restricting abortions, please let us know right now. You miss the point. If the honest car dealer your father and his father relied on turns crappy--but not quite as crappy as all the other car dealers---would you be satisfied? If you had it within your power to turn him honest again by making his business suffer, wouldn't you do it? Perhaps by keeping your car a few extra years (e.g. sitting out an election with crappy candidates?) That's my point. I will make the GOP suffer whenever their candidate is a left-leaner. Period.

This 'send a message' philosophy is destroying our courts (juries awarding obscene amounts of money against companies and letting OJ's go free), and in the voting booth, it's destroying our country.
Every time you vote against a bad candidate because a good one isn't quite 'good enough' you give all of us second best.
You should just vote for the Democrat - it would be more honest.

Staying home and keeping support of conservative candidates who are not as conservative as you would like, only means that you will be ruled by liberals.
I am from Michigan. Spencer Abraham was our first prolife US Senator since Roe v. Wade. He supported tax cuts, impeachment and gun rights, while opposing the liberal agenda of Democrats and the liberal wing of the GOP. His Conservative rating was high. [80 to 90 percent if I recall.]
But he lost the last election by a very small margin. Buchanan supporting, Reform Party Michiganders brag that "they beat him." And they are pleased that they did so.
Now we have a liberal, pro-abort, pro-taxes/big government, who is obstructing placing conservative judges on the bench, preventing a vote on partial birth abortion and helping to elect a liberal governor.
It may take another 25 years to get a conservative Republican Senator from our state again.
And this helps us, how?
