Reality is that not voting or voting for a third party candidate will help the Obomination get re-elected.

Perhaps that was the GOP-e's mission this entire time. We were very clear, even in 2008, that Mitt Romney did not represent the conservative base whatsoever. We've stated repeated, even prior to the primary debates, that Mitt Romney was one of a few we would not support. Why do you suppose the established pushed for him regardless? To rub the Tea Party noses into the ground? Because they didn't believe us? Because they figured despite our sabres rattling we'd get our "asses in line" and support their insider anyway? I have no plans whatsoever of rewarding the establishment's behavior with my vote. Do whatever you want with yours.

Reality is that if you think you will “teach the Republicans a lesson” by not voting you may be doing your country irreparable harm, possibly leading to a violent second civil war.

You say that like subjugation is a better alternative than civil war. I disagree. I will not die on my knees subservient to those who feel themselves to be my betters. I am a "citizen", not a "subject". The American Dream is not dead where I live. If the tree of liberty is parched, what choice do we have but to water it?
