I was okay until I read that we should stay home and not vote. Republicans losing power doesn't mean they listen next time, it means we lose our Republic to a very evil Socialist regime. No thanks.

You're right, ladyinred. Don't stay home.

Don't vote for a Democrat, either. Vote for a third party conservative.

A vote for a third party candidate acts as a wake-up call to the Republicans.

Without Ross Perot's strong showing in the 1992 election, the Republicans would never have drafted the Contract with America, which was nothing less than a successful attempt to win our votes back to the party.

It's not a sure thing that Republicans who lose will believe "It's because I wasn't conservative enough!" They might think "It's because I wasn't left enough!" (That said, I'm glad I don't have to decide whether to actually vote for the likes of a Specter.)
