In 2012, Mitt got more votes from a smaller total electorate than McCain got from a larger total electorate. Please explain YOUR math.

You keep mocking but not proving anything. I’m sorry the very ideas of the founders offend you because all I am doing is repeating them.

Vote for those you believe in.

Vote for those supporting the Constitution.

How long have you hated the founders of our country?

I knew you would say that. :)

But why reinvent the wheel? zero wasn’t the first to use an anti-incumbent platform.

I’m not saying it was a great move, I’m saying it works.

“Puzzle me this. You claim conservatism then a conservative runs. You then run to the RINO because they can ‘win’. then you wonder why conservatives don’t get elected in the primary to go to the general.”

I said nothing of the sort.

I said vote for the steak in the primary (conservative).

It works if you want to become the thing you claim to be against.

I don’t call that a net gain for anything but liberalism.

Voting for RINOs is a stopgap to keep the bar from moving left given political reality, you doofus.

I don’t why this is so hard for you to understand. But the fact that you don’t understand it is good reason to ignore your lectures.

Keep voting RINO. It will get you another 30 years of DemocRat control. History is not not your side.

And then vote rino. And then next (the last several) time, the RINO sends out the hit squad and tanks the conservative in the primary sending you back to reelect them...so the whole thing repeats. Did you not notice?

Mitt might have gotten more votes than John McCain but that is because he got a larger portion of the independents than John McCain. Republican turn out in 20012 was low.

Look, I maybe it is better if people like you don’t vote at all. Negativity is not a winning attribute. It won’t be for Paulers, either.

Your actions lately seem like you were appointed head GOPe cheerleader.

Let me politely invite you to STFU or prove it with words I actually wrote, in context. When you try and do this, your silly emotional bitch boy attitude will be exposed with your total lack of intellectual integrity. So, put up or SHUT UP.

I'm always amused by you pharisees who can't engage in an adult conversation about when to kill the RINO and when we need them. NOPE. All you can do is try that "GOP E cheerleader" bullsh-t. And it is bullshit.

Really, it’s all lefty, all the time. You can’t defend the last 30 years of DemocRat control.

Ok.

So tell me how you are going to reform the process by staying home/not voting/writing in a candidate on election day? smh

The circular (il) logic is dizzying.

Registered Republicans did not show up at the polls. Romney got the independent vote that voted for Obama in 2008.

Has he also called you childish, bragged about his book or asked if you know “who he is”?

Again, you are putting words in my mouth - you are such a silly little girl. I didn't mention the book, but thanks for doing so.

“How does protesting hamburger by ordering $hit get you closer to steak?”

Perhaps rather than talk about hamburgers, we could talk about a specific race?

“RINO Speaker of the Texas House Joe Straus came to power in 2009 by forming a coalition of 65 Democrats and 11 moderate Republicans to oust the existing conservative speaker. Straus quickly consolidated his power. Despite Texas voters electing large conservative majorities in both houses from 2010, conservative legislation is being impeded or stopped by the decisions of the powerful liberal speaker. Conservatives have been unsuccessful in getting Straus ousted but his minions are bearing the brunt and are steadily being defeated.”

From http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3131372/posts
Original Source: http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-Texas/2014/03/6/Speaker-Straus-the-Biggest-Loser-in-House-Primary-Races?utm_source=Campaign+Created+2014%2F03%2F08%2C+4%3A53+PM&utm_campaign=3-9-14+how+the+tea+party+wins&utm_medium=email

This RINO hijacked the Texas senate for two years to stop conservatives. Many of his minions were defeated in primaries, but he was not....

You are telling me that you would vote for him? If so, then I have to tell you. Your hamburger... is made out of $hit.

“Let me politely invite you”

Are you capable of being polite? Or just ranting and insulting while avoiding responding to any actual debate?
