I’ll be too busy suppressing minority votes to cast my own ballot on Election Day.

That sounds like a plan.

Everybody stand up and announce to the GOP leadership that they can lie, cheat and steal from us with impunity, and we'll still swallow whatever crap they want to shove down our throats, and like it.

That would be the sanctimonious self righteous who place a higher value on their own self esteem than on America. Better Obama than me feeling bad is the attitude

those who stay home are not conservative...

they are not liberal..

they are nothing, with no morals or backbone, who choose to “take my toys and go home” than to drag their asses to the polls and vote..

notice i did not say to vote republican..

there are plenty of third party candidiates out there that are worthy of your vote..

but, if you stay home you are not only a contemptable sob, but are also a traitor....

a traitor to this country, and a traitor to god..

It is SO discouraging to have a left-winger nominated on the R ticket.

But Romney (and even McCain, alas what a disappointment he’s proven to be!!!) ... would have been 1000 times better for USA than a foreign enemy agent in our WH

I say, we all get out and vote next time (if America and any sort of electoral process survives until then)...., please?

Should conservatives allow the GOP-E to take the conservative vote for granted even if they are treated with contempt by them? Should the GOP-E not be punished for being arrogant, effete jerks? Will the GOP-E grant amnesty for illegal alien invaders if they gain the majority? It would be nice to have a party that defines itself as a clear alternative to the Democrat-Socialist Party.

Lots of thoughts on this thread.

Lots to think about.

For me, after the debacle of Romney losing to Obama in 2012, I changed my registration to Independent from Republican.

I have been voting Republican since 1972.

This year, for the good of the country, we must gain the Senate and make more gains in the House.

That is our only hope, realistically, of hemming in Obama and his Administration from further inflicting damage to the nation.

2 more yeas of Dem control of the Senate and the Presidency will strike a fatal blow to this country.

I am not willing for that to happen.

I will vote GOP this year in an attempt to once again try to thwart the evil of Obama.

That to me, is Job 1 and the most critical thing for my country at this point in time.

The primaries are over and there is no sense arguing about what might have been.

We go to war on Election Day with the party we have.

Going forward, we need to have a new political party that represents conservative ideals and candidates.

For all the talk about the evils of third parties, the truth is that is how the GOP came into existence. They filled a need-—the fight against slavery—that the Whigs of 1854 were unwilling to confront.

That is not much different from today. We have a GOP that is unwilling to confront evil, to defend our rights, to uphold the Constitution, and to limit government.

So, as the Whigs were bypassed by the Republican Party, we need to do the same to the present day GOP.

Bypass them. Leave them in the dust of history.

Start something new for 2016 and beyond.

The present GOP had their chance when we breathed new life into them in 2010. They told us for the last four years to get stuffed.

Now we need to give them the same message—but not before we gain the Senate from that a$$hole Harry Reid.

Let’s keep our eyes on the prize.

The fate of the nation comes first.

Then our political parties.

I have no illusions that if we help the GOP take the Senate, they will not disappoint us. But I see no other way we can even come to the table for the next two years or to save the nation without voting in the GOP on Nov. 4th.

Otherwise, we will be marooned on our island of principle, while they ruin our country.

The hell with that.

this is a significant matter ... unlike some other threads.

The Boycott the Election movement is deadly to civil discourse. And it is alive and well in the churches of New England.

“You filthy Conservatives are all pieces of sh*t, and prolly raciss. Now vote for my GOPtard candidate so he can pass amnesty, grab your guns, kill more babies, shove homo-everything down your throat, and keep obamneycare in place. It’s JEB’S TURN!” ~ Jim Geraghty

Jim, those folks don’t like or trust the GOP professional class and think it’s more about protecting its own interests than theirs. Fairly or not, that’s what they think. And truth be told, it’s not entirely unfair. Working those problems instead of telling the messengers they’re stupid and sore losers would be a really good idea for you guys.

I look at voting as a privilege for which others have fought and died.

I vote every election, albeit holding my nose sometimes.

Electing RINOs just begets more RINOs.

Well I don't stay home on any election day even local county primaries. I do go vote or vote early these days to make absolute certain I can and do vote. I look on the ballot to find the most Conservative candidates who best represent my ideas, values, and stands on key issues running, and I vote for them regardless of their party. It's fairly simple. It's my say in what direction I believe the nation needs to move in. I take it serious & I do my homework before doing so. I find out as much as I can about ones I consider fit for office. By that I mean research not what King Karl or some Party Apologist Schmuck Talking Head says I must do.

If the GOP can't produce a suitable candidates Oh Well. Maybe they'll try harder next year but they lost my vote for that year. It goes elsewhere because I look elsewhere.

I leave people with this one thought. John McCain has cost us far more damage as a candidate GOP-E approved than my -I or one time -D vote for US senator has. Don't flame me on the DEM choice either. It was the right choice. It was a Conservative DEM {far right of the GOP choice} who got on the DEMs Ticket by default as the only one running against Senator Bob "Dems Old Reliable Friend" Corker. The DEMs had a meltdown and sue to have the guy removed LOL.
