You’re right, possibly understating your case.
I’ve resorted to lurking a lot - the quality here as suffered. We’re now like republicanunderground.
It's one thing to say "Republican candidate X is too liberal for me and I don't think I can vote for him" - all of us have been there now and then.
It's quite another to say "ONLY candidate Y meets all the tests of agreement with ME. If he is not on the ballot, I'm staying home!!!"
