The presumption is that the conservatives will always hold their noses and vote for the GOP candidate. They have no other choice—or so they think.
******************************************
What I REALLY resent is the coercion and the smug assumption that the GOPe has that no matter what they cram down our throats, we will hold our noses and vote for their candidate. I’ve been voting independent/Green ... WHATEVER except Democrap against Cantor for a couple of years now. Finally, for a myriad of circumstances and happenings, Cantor got voted out. After Romney, I was done as a “hold your nose” voter .... what happened to Ken C. just hardened that position. The GOPe hasn’t learned that lesson yet and it’s going to take a lot of establishment losses (whether to tea party or Democraps) to drive the message/lesson home, assuming they ever get it .... right now, I’m wondering.
They don't need to learn a lesson, they need to be defeated. The GOPe is not an entity, but a group of individuals.
The RINO interlopers need to be taken out, one-by-one...NOT BY RATS...but by the TEAs. Otherwise, they should stay in place until that time comes.
Well, you’re doing it right.
I might vote GOP over time every time, but I always vote TEA over GOPe, every time.
My voting methodology:
1. I ALWAYS vote. I will never stay home. Voting is a duty. When I was overseas in the military—they kept me from voting, and I was then ignorant on how to work around the roadblocks they set up. I vowed after that NEVER to miss another vote.
2. The time to vote TEA is the primary.
3. The time to vote GOP is the general election.
4. There is NEVER a time to vote democrat.
I do believe if enough of us did just this, the TEA party would prevail eventually.
I have a runoff to vote in Tuesday. A final TEA versus GOP. The GOP is not GOPe, but still not TEA. I’m voting TEA.
