I really wish the GOP would just present electable candidates instead of resorting to scaremongering. If they did that, no one would have to worry about people sitting out the election.
Let’s see. John Paul Stevens, Harry Blackmun, Earl Warren, and David Souter were all far left libs placed on the court by Republican presidents. And yeah, Mitt Romney’s gonna nominate a conservative. Sure he is. Like all those libs and Dems he nominated up in Massachusetts.
Republicans are really pathetic these days, always out with their bloody shirts and scare tactics.
Candidates select themselves. They run under the label of a political party, but the individual candidates decide whether or not to run for office. No political party makes these choices. People who want to be candidates pay their own filing fees. They put campaign organizations together and do the campaigning. It isn't a political party up there on the stage during debates, but individuals who have chosen to take a shot at a nomination.
Every election, a whole array of potential candidates decide for themselves whether or not to run, and voters invariably feel limited when their favorites decline to run.
As for your claim of "scaremongering," facts are facts and people can decide for themselves if those facts are scary or not.
Time and time and time again, the political Right comes oh-so-close to reaching its key goals (such as a conservative majority on the Supreme Court), only to kill its own chances because it forms circular firing squads instead of focusing like a laser on the real enemy. The coming election will be no different.
