You don't have evidence. What you have is a plausible theory as to why conservatives might not bother to vote.
You don't actually have evidence that conservatives didn't vote. I voted for Barr in 2008 (I was in Texas). This time, in Missouri, I didn't want to take any chances, so I voted for Romney. I didn't want to, but I did. From what I've seen on FR, lot's and lot's of committed conservatives did. The evidence is that conservatives had good turnout, but liberals had better turnout.
Yup, pretty much. There seem to be a lot of folks on our side that just can't face the truth. Just being more conservative is not going to solve our problem. We have to face that demographics are getting away from us and begin tailoring our message to a more libertine, more "brown" audience. We don't need to abandon our principles, but we do need to re-consider what policies to emphasize and how we talk about these things. We just can't go on alienating three quarters of Hispanics, Asians and young people. That has to stop now.
Dole, Bush, McCain, Romney! Ok, conservatives voted, all of them, but the fact still remains RINOS ARE LOSERS! If that's not evident and you don't get it then you just choose not too. Right now there are 2m LESS votes than McCain had in 2008...
