Surrendering to “prove a point” does not seem like a winning strategy to me.

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. Holding your nose and voting for the GOPe will not change our current course of unsustainable spending and the expansion of the welfare state. The political class has become disconnected from the people. The GOP and the Dems are just different wings of the same Big Government party.

The time has come to draw a line in the sand and take a different path for the long term salvation of this country.

But you are using a straw argument via over simplification. Nothing is the "same thing" any more…incumbents are in trouble in primaries, which NEVER happened before about 2009. The Tea Party is active, which was launched in 2009. While there is resistance from the GOP e, there is a palpable and powerful force confronthing them….ala Cruz, Paul, Lee, etc…..and never before have we seen a single piece of legislation that will effectively end the country…Obama CAre….signed in 2010. NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING is the same.

So with due respect, your entire argument is a false choice. I will join Cruz, Lee and others in the good fight, fully realizing many of our enemies also wear the "R" - I get it….that;s hardly a news flash or an original thought.
