I have to admit, I was with them until this election cycle, and this cycle is strange to me. For the first time since I could vote, Carter vs. Ford, I don’t care how this election turns out. I could probably go back and find arguments I made here at FreeRepublic against not voting for Romney. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t vote for him, I voted against Obama, but you know the story. I point this out to show why the GOP should start paying attention to their base. They are losing us slowly but surely.
Glad you saw the light. I voted for McCain to get Palin and I regret it immensely. All we both did was help empower more liberals.
If they have no conservatism/principles, they will not get my vote. If the country burns, it’s all on the GOP for running the people they do.
Nationally, I totally disagree. In the vast majority of house and senate races, I'm extremely concerned that the GOP candidate wins and the RAT loses.
Locally, however, I agree. I'm really sickened by the pathetic crop of candidates on the ballot here in Illinois. The few good conservatives stand virtually no chance of winning, and the disgusting RINOs who have a chance of winning will just ruin this state more and embolden the IL GOP to use them as "proof" that only RINOs are "electable" here. Worst ballot I've seen since I started voting in 1998.
When you have a bunch of pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, pro-illegal Madigan suckups on the ballot, its hard to feel sympathy for other conservatives complaining their 90% conservative Senate candidate is a "RINO" because he doesn't scream Tea Party loudly enough.
