[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

GOP is shown that your vote is not a "given", then (and only then) can you exert the type of influence you seek.

If you really think that the volunteer citizens who run politics in this country at a level lower than the presidential concern themselves with winning the votes of people who are clearly looking for a reason not to vote for your candidates, I am sure that you have not been a member of too many party organizations.

[John R. (Bob) Locke]

If you really think that the volunteer citizens who run politics in this country at a level lower than the presidential concern themselves with winning the votes of people who are clearly looking for a reason not to vote for your candidates, I am sure that you have not been a member of too many party organizations.

And you would be incorrect, yet again. I served two years on the Portsmouth, VA, Republican City Committee, followed by 18 months as its chairman.

I can see now that your surety of thought is indeed worth questioning.
