I am as conservative as anyone here. I despise voting for RINOs and GOPEs and it compromises my conservative principles, but that battle must be fought in the primaries.

When it gets to the general, voting for someone other than the RINO or not voting at all will certainly make us feel good, but in reality the only thing it does -- the only thing -- is help elect the Democrat-Socialist.

If we can't "send the message" in the primary, we sure as hell aren't going to send that message by losing in the general. (And believe me, it hurts to say that.)

Puzzle me this...

1) You vote for the most conservative candidate running in every primary, and general election. You encourage your friends and neighbors to do the same. You work to get them nominated and elected.

2) Or your candidate doesn’t win the primary, so you set home on election day, or protest vote for some Libtardian with zero chance of winning, thus allowing a far left moonbat to get elected.

Which method has a better chance of moving the country to the Right?

Doesn’t logic tell you that getting everyone to vote for the most conservative candidate every primary, and every general election will lead to more conservative governance?

It defies logic to think that doing nothing and allowing liberal moonbats take control will make things more conservative. Can you explain how method #2 makes sense to you?

In my opinion it like really wanting a steak, but when you get to the only place available to eat steak isn’t on the menu. ( steak lost the primary )

The only two options on the menu are hamburger, or $hit.

How does protesting hamburger by ordering $hit get you closer to steak? There isn’t another restaurant down the road, and both you and your neighbors are going to have to eat your choice for the next 2-4 years.

I’ll have the hamburger at that point, and I’ll stand in line in the rain to get it!
