Tigerseye: You can smugly vote for socialism and claim you did all you could while our country goes down the drain.

Neither voting for socialism nor smug nor happy about the s(h)ituation we find ourselves in. Ok. Let's play your metaphor.

The drain (Republic, Economy, etc) is plugged. We had the chance to nominate our best guy, an hnest conservative plumber early on to fix the mess. Instead we kept pushing competitive bidding among them until all the little guys couldn't afford to continue. But the big corporate Mr RINO-Rooter conglomerate in town held out because they have the cash and the discipline and is now the only game in town.

Now there's also a Commie from the City Waste dept who is offering to come out and have "his people" destroy your house and remove all your plumbing and give you free chamber-pots and a wheelbarrow and a shovel.

So you can choose to run off into the woods to get away from the smell. But until we can get some honest plumbers back in the business (the ones this time turned out to be shams didn't they?**) then we merely have the choice of how long we can clear the drains until the next clog (4 years?)....or completely turn our house into a third world cesspool for the next century.

** Which one of these two-faced "conservative" suckups who are now not just caving, but supporting the RINO did we want to be our "principled" leader?

If American conservatives want real political influence they must drop the habit of endorsing RINOs against the Democrats.

Otherwise will have RINOs only at the helm of power, and the conservative TV show during primaries that does nothing but damage to the conservative movement.

Learn from Marine Le Pen: grow your own party.

As I wrote earlier, political animals have to play the game the Ruling Class sets as their rules and kiss the bungholes and lick the palms of those Masters if they want have a seat at their table.

We citizens do not have to play that game, because it is our votes and money they needed to keep themselves in perpetual power.

Soon however, they will have no need for either from us, because they know what the transformation is going to be, and they decided to play along for power's sake and a crack at all our redistributed money.

So they rigged this election to be a win, win for themselves by getting rid of the 'ball and chain of Conservatives'.

I won't play their game by their rules and hold my nose for the trap they set for me. But then, I'm not a political animal either and I am not beholden to them.

You're not going to vote for Romney out of patriotism or love of country. It's just an ego-fed CYA so you can tell yourself and others you did the best you could do.

Here's a more fitting analogy than your absurd and inaccurate plugged drain. Your family (the country) is going to be shot in front of you by a squad of riflemen. Your choice is will it be a squad of enemy riflemen or a squad of your own riflemen. If you pick your own you get to be part of the squad.

So what vote for who? Nobody? Somebody that has no chance of winning! Or get rid of the Commie in the White House now! No thanks we can’t afford the Zero in charge no more. He has to go for the sake of Our Great Republic!
