Indeed it is this primary season when we need to pick a candidate.
In the general, I will always vote R. It is the primary when I do my work.
Liberal republicans are more destructive than democrats, because they have your blessing to be liberal.

I understand that position, and have always shared it in past elections.
But I think times have changed now. Having a Republican majority in the House has not helped us, because in truth the GOPe is only slightly less terrible than Democratic leadership.
I now believe that the most important thing to do, even if it results in Democrats winning the Senate AND the House, is to make it absolutely clear to the GOPe that the Republicans cannot win an election without the conservative base. And if that means the Democrats control the House, the Senate and the White House, so be it.
What difference, at this point, does it make, when our country is all but gone already? Unbelievable, today we have a Republican party that cannot sell liberty and limited government to the American people, because it no longer believes in those concepts.
So I will NOT vote for a GOP RINO in any election. I won't vote for a Democrat, but I will not pull a lever for a RINO. Period.
Either the GOP becomes a conservative party, or let it die.
“In the general, I will always vote R.”
The only reason the Republicans are around is due to people not adhering to this dumb strategy to always vote for one of the 2 parties in power.
Even Lincoln changed from being a Whig to a Republican to get elected and eventually the Whigs went away.
Morale is do not sit on this type of strategy. If the GOP is stupid enough to disregard the Tea Party and the Tea Party runs candidates, conservatives will ultimately replace the GOP.
What will be amusing is to watch the RINOs try to figure out which party they will vote for, the lib Dems or the conservative Tea Party.
