10.Checks, Balances. So what if the GOP had no candidate at all, and we were looking at a victory for Obama by default today? What would you be doing now, all you good conservatives? Working to make sure the conservatives hold the House and take the Senate? OK – so let’s say Romney really is as bad as you all want us to believe he is. And let’s say he’s inevitable. Your choices then are “stay home” or “do what you’d do if Obama was going to win – try to negate his power and influence by taking control of Congress”. Why, precisely, should you not then be working to flip the Senate and extend our lead in the House/ Because the opportunity is there, folks, to not just flip Congress completely against either Obama or a hypothetical “moderate” Romney, but flip it to a version of the GOP that, so far, has been pretty Beltway-proof, and fairly dedicated to the mission for which they were sent to GOP by the Tea Party and a newly-resurgent conservative movement in the first place; togovern like conservatives. Keeping them that way is our job. Provided we don’t “stay home” and “teach everyone a lesson”. Because the only “lesson” you “teach” by staying home is that you’re unreliable and marginal. Don’t be that.

#10 is the only good piece of advice the rest are just Romney sh*t.

We are going to destroy your party if you nominate romney... and we are talking war. No romney... no way in hell... YOU vote for him... but stay the hell away from my ballot and my right to vote in my own way.

—What would you be doing now, all you good conservatives? —

I’ve already done it. I became a prepper. I bought my small farm and new home in Kentucky two weeks before Obama was elected. I moved here from Seattle last August. There is no political solution to the problems we face. It’s too late for that. The car has gone off the cliff and everyone is scrambling to be in the back seat when it hits the rocks below.

It is an exercise in futility. I’m preparing the best I can for war on US soil.

Even that's marginal advice. Look at happened under W and the GOP congress.

As unlikely as it's ever to be, if down ballot (Senate) candidates won and pulled more votes than Romney, the message might be heard. There's no way to craft that outcome, no way to assure the establishment won't dismiss and bury it. I doubt it'll happen on its own.

The only message they'll be unable to miss is a defeat of Romney followed by a defeat of Obama. The odds grow longer by the day, particularly on the second one.
