Every New Jersey conservative should vote on October 16th and stay home on November 5th

I wasn’t. I’m not voting for a democrat who knew he couldn’t get the democrat nomination so he ran as a republican (a la Bloomberg). For what? To artificially swell Mitch McConnell’s caucus number? And only until he decides, like Specter, Jeffords, Crist, Chafee, Bloomberg, etc. that “the republican party has moved away from me.”

I’m done voting for these types. There’s no point.

No. I’m not suggesting it to be cute. I’m suggesting conservatives vote for a conservative in the republican primary on October 16th and withhold their vote from Chris Christie on November 5th.

Christie has clearly demonstrated that he is not a republican anymore. Why vote for him? Because he has an “r” next to his name?

Let him get reelected by his constituency, moderates and democrats. That’s all he cares about.

stay home on November 5th

Makes sense to me. We’ll sure show them won’t we? That’s what got us Obama and that’s why we’ve lost our country to the radical left. Keep staying home and watch the destruction. And those who stay home can be proud that they support only the purest of the pure. /s

The shoe is precisely on the other foot. The republican establishment, in cooperation with the democrat establishment, keep pushing these worthless moderate loser candidates on us and they they say “well, it’s our guy or nothing!” I’m done playing.

I saw that here in MA just in the last couple of months. There was an election for the head of the republican party. Scott Brown said to republicans of the state that if his person (crony) didn’t get elected, then he wouldn’t run for the special election. Well, he convinced enough dupes and his moderate was elected over a more conservative tea party type and THE NEXT DAY Scott Brown announced that he wasn’t running for the special election. So he got his moderate into a position of power and then said see ya!

Now when the primary was coming up, Mike Sullivan, the conservative, was leading in the polls and Gomez was in third, having contributed to Obama and sucked up to Deval Patrick in a letter. So to prevent a conservative from getting the nomination, the repulican party got all kinds of funding and endorsements for Gomez, led by Scott Brown’s crony. Where if a conservative was head of the party, they would not have supported an obvious democrat.

So now I’m supposed to just vote for Gomez because he’s the “r” on the ballot?? Not happening.

Establishment candidates love moderates and democrats so much, let them struggle to get their votes. They’ve been using consevatives for years to get themselves into office only to backstab and screw us over. The lesser of two evils game is a sham. If Gomez was 75% conservative, I would vote for him. But he’s 75% liberal. Good luck, pal!

Go ahead and flame me, but with all of Christie’s faults, he’s a damn sight better for the state than McGreevey, Corzine or Codey, and he’ll be a hell of a lot better than Buono. We’re not Alabama. We’ll never have a Tea Party conservative as Governor, it’s just not going to happen. So you can mock Jersey all you want, but we’re doing the best we can with what we have.

I’m not mocking Jersey. I live in Massachusetts, for God’s sake!! Christie was elected as a conservative and then turned moderate to liberal. Politicians move with the winds and to where the votes are. If conservatives just support whomever the republican party nominaates, then those votes will be taken for granted. The nominee or incumbent will then go after moderate or democrat votes.

But moderates and democrats like voting for democrats. That’s why they’re moderates and democrats. If conservative support is removed, it gets a lot harder for moderate republicans to be elected and they’ll have to move in a more conservative direction or be removed from office (by their very beloved moderates and democrats).

I want politicians to be more conservative. By just voting for whoever the “r” is, by having their reactionary republican votes secured, they’ll move to the left to get more votes and to get elected.

So I support withholding votes to put political pressure on politicians. Christie wants a blowout reelection. I’d prefer he’d get a closer one so he moves back to the right and less to Obama.
