Most real conservatives do not want to hand the control of the white house, House and Congress over to the Marxist Democrats on a silver platter by joining the couch potato non vote group. Frankly the whole world does not care or count protest votes....I just watched Israel be over run by Liberals in the conservative non vote protest and they are paying a very heavy price for it now.

A did some numbers during the 06 election when the "dump the RINOs" strategy was popular. Depending on the definition of a "RINO", I used ACU ratings, drawing the line with McCain if I recall, the strategy involves ceding 65% to 70% of the House and Senate to dem control. I can't say the damage would be unreversable, one day we might well get a handle on FDR's Social Security program, as well as LBJ's Great Society, but those who think it will be one or two election cycles are dreaming. It would be decades, and much of the damage would be permanent.

some of those guys are pretty sneaky, they can have a pretty good ACU rating but they will vote for some liberal issues under the radar. btw in 06 I voted for republicans, well the only one that mattered was the 2nd congressional district, incumbent is a democrat......the republican lost of course....this year there is no GOP candidate :( I dont have a president to vote for or a congressman. I may not vote.
