“... staying home on election day.” That is precisely what the coommie democrat criminal enterprise wants you to do, so you will ignore the down ticket votes and the criminals can place whomever they want in the House and Senate seats. And of course, what a principled example you set for your boys, that if they don’t like the election at any point on the ballot, they can just ignore voting.
My district is solid conservative by a sizable margin and my one vote won’t change anything in down-ballot voting. My ‘boys’ are actually girls, but your point remains the same. The principled example I’d set for them is that there comes a time when a man has to stand up and say “no more.” No more RINOs, no more waffly losers that’ll sell out to be liked by the media, no more sleazy douchebags that only strive to be slightly better than the opposing douchebag in hopes of getting into power.
I want a legit conservative as the candidate opposing the Marxist. Cain, Palin, Bachmann or anyone of that nature. Even if I don’t agree with everything they stand for, I’ll agree with enough of their positions to vote for them with pride. The Republican party needs to hear us all saying that. No more “lesser-of-two-evils” votes!
