never, ever voting again. Let ‘em get some other suckers but this old man is done.


This does not make sense. Just because you do not win does not mean you should quit. Voting does make a difference. There are probably about 40 conservatives in the House that would not be there if people followed your advice.

Yeah right. We handed the GOP both the House and Senate last year - and what do we have to show for our 'votes'??

A DICTATORSHIP VIA THE VERY GOP WE PUT THERE

You are stuck on crazy if you actually think voting makes a damn dime's worth of difference after a fascist coup.

The one we suffered that folks pretend never happened.

And unfortunately those 40 are irrelevant...(ObamaCare, this ‘budget’, Iran deal, trade deals, immigration, so on and so forth). You don’t control DC, it controls YOU. We elected way more than ‘40 conservatives’ but that’s all that so far have survived the cesspool of Washington. Electing ‘conservatives’ is now a game of chance.

And those 40 conservatives can accomplish precisely what? It’s self defeating and cruel to send leaders to work themselves to the bone for years, only to end up discouraged and defeated by a game they cannot ever win.

Electoral politics is a shut door for conservatives. That’s the bad news. The good news is there are numerous other doors open to us.
