Why has GOP turnout taken a dive?

Probably because at least that many have given up on the Republican party. In 2010, lots of us out here busted our butts to elect conservatives to Congress only to see the same old same old again. Two trillion dollars later, some of us are saying, “is this all there is”?
Sorry, but we do not trust the Republicans any more than we trust the Democrats. Shit by any name is still shit.

To be fair, we didn’t get that much new blood in there. Not to mention we don’t have the Senate. The House has passed bill after bill that has been shelved by Reid. Quitting the fight now is giving up in the 2nd quarter.

%100 correct. People worked hard and voted in 2010 for nothing. Republicans for the most part are just as bad as liberal Democrats. They won't stop the spending.

Turnout will be down in 2012 because Republicans have already shown themselves to be liars on spending an repealing Obamacare.

Sorry, but we do not trust the Republicans any more than we trust the Democrats. Shit by any name is still shit. True. The Republican Party will probably have to be replaced by a true TEA Party, or some other true Conservative Party. But for THIS year, we have to remember that there are the true evil Dim-o-RATS, and then there is Satan hisself -- mmm mmm mmm Barack Hussein 0BowMao! As much as I am unenthused by the candidates this year -- and I don't trust Mittens, who has never done anything Republican and certainly not Conservative in his life -- ALL of the dudes running this year are FAR better than Juan McCain, and one of them absolutely MUST win over 0bama or we won't have the luxury of planning for the new Party because this Country will be D.O.N.E! I believe that we won't have to worry about turnout in November -- there are plenty of people absolutely disgusted with "the won!"
