If that is your choice, please do it. We have no use for you and your attitude poisons the well and keeps us from attracting even more voters.

Of course, only right to lifers get to draw lines in the sand. I'm fighting for folks in the primary who do care about the illegals issue; I'm also a realist. I know that they're going to lose. I'll be going to the polls in November, but I'll be skipping the races that don't deal with this issue. I won't be doing what I'm doing now, which is spending 4-8 hours a week on GOTV efforts, registering voters, doing house calls on those who haven't voted in the last couple elections, helping at the local GOP office.

See, I'm not just sitting on my ass whining like others do; I'm in the trenches, pushing my agenda, like anyone else should be doing. But it isn't penetrating at the local office (where they whine about their illegal gardeners), nor is it penetrating at my congresscritter's office where he gets around to denouncing illegals about three days before the election. I have a state GOP that isn't even running a warm body for the senate, and what is being sent to the state house isn't worth much either.

And it'd be nice if politicians would support concepts backed by nearly two thirds of the voters, even in the liberal land where I live. I'm tired of seeing us spend further into debt, but I can understand part of it - we're at war. I'm tired of seeing public employees and elected representatives make it worse through far too many benefits and retirement. But that's how the system works right now. But I'm through giving in to handing over large portions of this country to folks who are just here to take our money and our services.

And if that is poisoning the well, then the well is well and truly already poisoned.
