Ahh -- another guy who's memories don't go back as far as 9/11! It's OK, someday in the near future, as he falls to the earth after the building he had been standing on was destroyed, he can contemplate how melodramatic his situation will be. Hopefully it will entertain him before he splatters to earth.
So don't click on them.
Nice move guys, the conservative judges went down in flames while we got more lefties. Full of rectitude, you are now heading off to vote in the general election on initiatives we wouldn't have had to run if we had conservative judges in the first place.
Some vital initiatives won't pass, some will pass but be overturned by the lefties judges YOU elected because you stubbornly refused to pick a party and vote.
Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face! Next time get a clue.
I know lots of Republicans so disgusted by the present state of the party that they aren't voting. (I haven't met ANY disgusted Republican that is switching parties, though.)
These are not the hard-core base - the true believers, but the lukewarm types that are very results-oriented about how they vote. They think, did the party deliver on what I expected? To many, the answer is no.
(They aren't bothered by the scandals, because they are realistic and know those, disappointing though they may be, are just part of the terrain in politics. )
That's why it will be about turnout, can the machine get these lukewarm-types to the polls. Once there, they will not vote Democratic. But there's a real good chance they will stay home.
They need to remember that they also need to vote in primaries - At the primary, you vote for the person, at the election you vote for the party.
