"I also cant believe the amount of damage "they" did by staying home and not voting"
Gee, just when you thought that BS had been put to bed.
The folks that didn't vote were/are sick of the way this country is being run. (I voted)
You think people were not voting in Nov, wait and see what happens if Rudy is the nominee.
The "stay at home purist" bit is just a runaway myth, parroted by terminally ill-informed RINOs hell-bent on blaming conservatives for everything. Republican turnout was actually strong in 2006. Unfortunately, so was the Independent vote, and that broke 65/35 against the GOP. That's what did us in.
But, like you said, if they really want to see what huge numbers of stay-at-home conservatives can do to an election, just give Giuliani the nomination and watch.
Then hello hillary or Obama thats all and we deal it
