After reading so many comments on this thread, I just see this as another desperate attempt to recruit the very people the GOPe does not want anywhere near its seats of power. The elitists feel they own that and have earned it after years of service to the party regardless of any harm they have doe to our country. I can understand that kind of greed and lust but I’ll be damned if I will approve it.

Rather than convince conservatives they should support the GOPe for positive reasons, all you offer is a litany of negative reasons. We are not Dems? No kidding but you think like Dems and want the same thing they want, a place in government to preen yourself. Is there anything you can do to win conservative loyalty? I have not seen a single attempt to do that. What have you fixed that you broke (trust)? You haven’t fixed anything. Did Cochran step down? No, not that that would be enough.

Bottom line is I, and apparently many more here are not frightened by your tactics. We will not enable any more elitist power mongers. My litmus test is simple, but you don’t care what I want, it’s only what you want.

Good luck but no thanks.

If they are not voting, they are not conservatives, they are Obama supporters.

It is that simple.

Why Vote to get inside the Stadium when you can sit on the Tailgate of your Pickup Truck in the Parking Lot eating Barbeque and complaining about the other guys playing against your Team?

People Voted Third Party or didn’t bother Voting at all and they whine about Obama? Welcome to Free Republic. LOL

Heck, they whine about the Guy that didn’t get Elected. Talk about an exercise in futility. Water under the Bridge.

Doesn’t make any difference. The Country as founded is over.

Apparently, the GOPe is distributing Stupid Pills to all their mouthpieces.

Ronald Reagan is not walking through that door, folks.

...

That’s because the second most important mission of the GOPe over the past 25 years has been to make sure another Reagan didn’t rise through the ranks. Their top mission has been to purge the party of Reaganism, reestablish Big Government, and raid the treasury and pile up debt with their friends, the Democrats. There’s no way I’ll ever vote for a GOPe candidate. The writer of the article has his weapon pointed in the wrong direction.

No matter the timing, the left of the GOP just cannot call off their war against conservatives.

I never stay home on election day. However, I will not ever again vote for a candidate who does not share a majority of my beliefs as proven by their record. Not. Ever. Again.

Having failed with the vote for the letter R campaign, as well as the we hate Harry campaign, the GOPe now gives a lesson in the faulty logic of false alternatives. To them it seems the choices are vote straight ticket republican or stay home.

News flash, there are conservatives down ballot who need our votes and will get it. We just won’t vote for the rinos.

And yes, there is someone worse than a democrat... We know the democrats stand for wrong headed values and keep our guard up. Only rinos can sell us out on crucial votes.

Having a majority held hostage by the gang of 14 to pass liberal legislation is indeed worse than being a minority.

We conservatives don’t vote for liberals, regardless of their supporting party.

We are not Republicans, we are conservatives.

P.S. If the eGOP wants to run liberals then we conservatives are of no consequence if we do not vote since a liberal will win anyway, right?

Synopsis:
The Republican party really wants to hear only one thing from conservatives:
Master Republican guide us. Master Republican teach us. Master Republican protect us. In your light we thrive. In your mercy we are sheltered. In your wisdom we are humbled. We live only to serve. Our lives are yours.

Why vote for a bunch of political elites that will continue to grow the government? Albeit at a slow pace. We need to reverse that trend and not reward a bunch of GOP-E’s who will just “fix the bad parts and keep the good parts” of Obamacare, vote for bank bailouts, automaker bailouts, shovel-ready jobs, cash for clunkers, “conprehensive immigration reform” aka amnesty for illegals, the NDAA, illegal wiretapping, NSA spying, funding and arming the Free Syrian Army along with their allies in ISIS and reward their shady friends at the US Chamber of Commerce. We don’t need more government, we need less of it.

This poor chap doesn’t understand - we’ll vote. We’ll show up and vote for the rest of the ballot. We will just not vote for anyone the GOPe puts up that is a crypto-liberal.

So, we’ll definitely vote - just won’t vote for anyone that risks hanging the further destruction of the country on actual conservatives.
