I don't know if 91% of Republicans think we are going in the right direction of if we just have no place else to go. If there were a viable 3rd party candidate, one a little more conservative than our current batch of Republican leaders, I would vote for him. But there is not and I'm not going to willingly turn the Presidency over to the Demacrats.

"But there is not and I'm not going to willingly turn the Presidency over to the Demacrats."

That would be exactly what you would be doing!

If you think for a second some momo from a third party would any chance in hell of actually getting elected you're already half off the deep end. Taking votes away from your candidate because you're pissy about 1 or 2 issues is moronic.

To no one in particular, and everyone in general. Look, some are NOT going to agree with me on this, but don't waste your time asking if I am a "du." I am simply an American citizen who has never in my entire life (since the age of 18) sat out an election. This one may be a FIRST. I can offer you a HUNDRED reasons, but will just offer the first seven that roll off my mind (in no order). Bear in mind I would DEFINITELY deem myself an independent closer to rep. than lib. and more socially than fiscally conservative, and refuse to vote dem at all, because the current "stars" of the party are off the wall on every single issue. But here's where I am feeling "bush-whacked."

1. Immigration and border issues. Too little, too late. Want illegals GONE.

2. Policies regarding Israel.

3. "Outsourcing" will be a death-knell soon.

4. Say buh-bye to the u.n. Including their many, many, "biodiversity" and area programs that have our nation in a silent stranglehold.

5. If you MUST increase spending, do it for everyone, don't take from the poor to give to the rich.

6. Make good on your plan for education reform and start issuing vouchers.

7. GET RID OF ROVE ----- the president needs to go with his own instincts. Quit pandering to enemies (from Fox to Clinton).

Do I want the dems to win? Hell no, BUT, the reps are JUST NOT GETTING THE MESSAGE!!!!!! They have the solid majority and STILL can't get judges replaced, say NO to Mexico, ad infinitum. Either they are flip sides of a one-world government coin, OR, they don't have what it takes. Either way, it is unacceptable.

That leaves me with only two choices. Find a third party candidate (and it would NOT be green or libertarian) OR, sit this one out.

What bothers me is that instead of learning from and trying to get the message clear to your party, all you card-carrying republicans are spending time running anyone who doesn't see it your way into the "du" basket.

I love this site because I AM conservative, not one of the "party" faithful.
