Fortunately I don’t have that problem since my complaints come with solutions. Its just that cheshire frauds do not like things that do not give immediate nirvana.

And I consider this a Freudian slip.

You think you and the rest of the "pure-blood" conservatives are the only one's who really care - the only ones who have a viable solution - the only REAL conservatives? No - your viewpoint is one searching for a political nirvana. Here is a newsflash: this side of Heaven - given the sinful nature of man - you won't find it.

Politics/Governing is - in the end - about raw numbers. Consider those districts where there actually are true conservatives: by themselves they have very little power, and without being part of a majority party, they have virtually NO power to enact change.

Your all-or-nothing strategy leaves the true conservatives with no leverage - NOTHING with which to hold over the rino leadership.

Only as part of the majority party can conservatives enact real change - either by cajoling, shaming or even convincing(gasp!) - the leadership to act wisely.

Your non-vote IS a vote - for the status quo. You can play word games to convince yourselves otherwise, but the numbers don't lie - and you leave the conservatives as part of the minority, with the power to do nothing but grouse and complain.
