Gone are the days of just pulling the lever because it is the lesser of two evils.

Not for me. Gaining a majority in the Senate is way, way, way more important than going to bed feeling good that you have "sent a message".

I think it is well known around here that there is nobody home to read that message. The GOP management is, no doubt, terrible. But they managed to provide Obamacare exactly ZERO votes. That's nothing to sneeze at. And they are better than the Dems by far.

It looks to me like you are wasting your time and your vote. If so, you have Harry Reid's blessing. Personally, that blessing would keep me awake at night.

What good is a liberal republican controlled senate? McConnell has already given Reid critical cloture votes on all major liberal agenda issues, and McConnell says if the pubs win the senate, he'll roll back the rules that keep the minority party from blocking legislation.

A liberal republican controlled senate is a liberal controlled senate.

If you vote for a liberal republican, you ARE a liberal.

Meaningless votes. They did provide Obamacare the critical cloture votes it needed to stay funded. McConnell and Cornyn were pretty pissed that Cruz was trying to block the vote that Harry Reid wanted. McConnell and Cornyn gave Reid the cloture votes he needed.

It is more than sending a message. If you attack me and what I stand for you might as well be with them Dems.

Like I said I will not vote for someone who attacks the base. They do not represent what I stand for.

It is my belief that my money does not matter to the incumbents anyway as they are in bed with the crony capitalist. Therefore my only option is not to vote for the incumbent repub and hope he is thrown out so we can get a real conservative into office.

If I had someone that actually showed some leadership and stood for something that I do I might give them my vote. As it stands I see very few who do in either party.

Badgering me with the dems are worse is never going to make me vote for the lesser of two evils. You repub fools can talk till you are blue I will not waste my vote with a rino again. As of now I can accept the bad so that my kids will be done with weak kneed repubs who are just out for themselves so that my kids will not be debt slaves or regulation slaves.
