NATIONAL REVIEW
SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 12:34 PM
God save us from self-professed "conservatives" who will announce they'll stay home on Election Day as a demonstration of their power.
Because as we all know, you become more influential in politics and government and public life by staying home and doing less.
....
Does the "I'm staying home" crowd apply this to everything in life? "I don't like the way the company is run, so I'm not going to work."
"Honey, I'm just not happy with your performance as a spouse, so I'm going to be less active in the marriage until you improve."
"Kids, I'm disappointed with your performance in school. Until you improve, I'm ignoring you."
The thing is, I wonder how often the "I'm staying home this year" crowd voted before. In fact, I wonder if they ever vote.
I don't understand the "I've never been more fearful for the future of this country, but I'm not willing to do anything about it" mentality.

Solution is simple.
GOP-E puts up Conservative candidates, and we conservative candidates will vote in droves.
Put up another Mitt Romney, etc., and many of us will cast our votes elsewhere.
There are a lot of Freepers that need to read this and think seriously about it.

All they are doing is helping the Left by sitting on their cans and saying “woe is me”. They might as well get over the fact that there will never be a “perfect” candidates running for office and accept the fact that sometimes we have to vote the keep the worse of two evils from getting elected.
What if the folks mailing election ballots have Ebola?
In the case of a Repub who is merely less than perfect, he’s right.
In the case of Thad Cochran, or any open borders Repub presidential candidate, get lost.
‘Until morale improves, the beatings will continue.’
signed, the GOP establishment
It’s not merely the lack of Conservative candidates...it’s the fact that the GOP-e actively campaigns against Conservatives, and often prefer democrats win instead.
G-d save us from the Vote for Democrats in Republican Clothing pundits!
I know NR has its prigs, but Geraghty has always struck me as just a real (GOPe) tool.
Like where?
Did Backstabber and Limp Loser Romney apologize
to Gov. Palin and America, yet?
Did the GOP apologize for RomneyCARE and Romney’s
imposition of gay marriage and polygamy?
If I go to the polls it will be to vote for the most destructive liberal.
Bring on the collapse.
What about the quiet “man these guys all suck” conservatives?
theyre gonna need a WHOLE lot of em given the “life span” of the disease...
I give to the Senate Conservatives Fund.
I’ll work for Conservative candidates.
So your limp wristed GOPe candidate can’t muster enough cash and workers from Karl Rove’s bastions and the Chamber of Commerce Country Clubs? Too bad, so sad.
Is there a reason to stay home this year?
Time to get the Senate!
Bottom line is easy.
Appeal to their interests by nominating someone who represents their concerns.
Short of that, your own your own kid. No one owes you anything.
