You’ve made that quite clear. How you and the others you behave similarly expect that attitude to translate into political power is beyond me. Politicians could care less about those who do not vote, people in the military learned that long ago.
....because voting straight Republican has been so effective. LOL! The Establishment Republicans have drifted so far left, they are at the level of Democrats in the 1950's and 1960's.
Political power, blah blah blah. I'm voting my conscience. I'm voting conservative. If people think like me, my side wins.
Shiiiid, dawg, at this point in America's history, I don't think even a straight set of wins by conservatives for a decade will help pull us out of the crash-trajectory. The economy won't handle all the entitlements out there. It just isn't sustainable.
Oh, by 'checked out of the net', I mean I still vote. I vote conservative. Period.
