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.
Ronald Reagan is not walking through that door, folks.

I would vote for McConnell but I’m afraid that it would irritate the MSM and Michelle Obama too much. The optics are bad because voting for guys who can never cave fast enough is kinda extremist dontcha think? We already have Rand Paul as a Senator and I want Kentucky to be perceived as more moderate just like everybody else. I just don’t want Kentucky to get hurt with another sequester. We’re really a border state and we need to compromise. We just want to be liked.
People like him elected the lesser evils that sat silently while Obama let Ebola into America through his unanswered ‘executive actions’ and ignoring congressional law.
Anyone here see GOP screaming about the dangers? Nope. But we all say them do nothing.
‘Vote for The Lesser Evil 2014’
battle cry of the GOP establishment
The Communist Party used to refer to those who actually bought into its party line as “useful idiots”. The GOPe calls them “loyal Republicans”.
Now prove it.
Add NY-23 to that Mississippi count; remember that?
>>No, the math is not flawed.
It is a perfect model of your charge against me: that voting third-party in `12 was voting for Obama.
Now prove it.<<
Is your arithmetic that flawed? Any vote NOT for a candidate is a vote against him and FOR the opposite candidate.
Your non-vote (assuming you stayed at home in a hissy fit or voted 3rd party in a hissy fit) was a vote for obozo.
Simple math. You need me to “prove” arithmetic?
See if you can read: That means I am voting for NEITHER of them. I vote FOR only that candidate for whom I vote. I vote AGAINST the rest.
I don't owe my vote to cumulate with yours or anybody else's. I don't owe my vote to the sleazy corporate $$$$ obsessives of the US Chamber of Crony Socialism. I don't owe my vote to the GOP-E or to the RNC. The GOP owes me and every other American nominees WORTH voting for and, if they don't nominate such candidates, they can go straight to hell. As they are currently constituted, the sooner they join the Federalists and the Whigs in the trashcan of history, the better.
>>The Communist Party used to refer to those who actually bought into its party line as “useful idiots”. The GOPe calls them “loyal Republicans”.<<
And people who can do math call the others “obozo supporters.”
The perfect is the enemy of the good.
>>See if you can read: That means I am voting for NEITHER of them<<
Thus you are voting for hitlery.
She thanks you: if you like obozocare you’re gonna LOVE hitlerycare.
I've made it plain: how is #2 the same as #3?
How and why does my vote for someone other than Obama translate into a vote for Obama?
In logic we would say: P ^ ~P — I want you to show how you arrive at True for the evaluation of ((NOT Voted-for-Obama) AND Voted-for-Obama).
Sniff! They promised to crush us in the primaries and now, we may just be too crushed to vote in the general election.
you really do live up to your handle with every post.
>>Now prove it.<<
I did already.
2 candidates, 2 voters. 1 voter votes for candidate A. The second voter pitches a temper tantrum and doesn’t vote.
Candidate A wins.
Well, that would at least be some form of appreciation rather than the contempt and hatred Conservatives receive from the Ruling Class Oligarchs in the GOP and their stooge lackeys dish out.
Since your 'admonishment' is actually helping to drive Conservatives further from your pathetic Chamber-of-Fascism-bought party - perhaps you might want to use your wasted energy on threatening Mexican Nationals and 'Moderate' Liberal Democrats to vote for your candidates since that seems to be the new 'base' your party seeks to make beholden to itself.
But please, really - people like you are laughable in your vain and silly attempts to shame.
There is no difference between your GOP Establishment and Obama's MarxoFascists. There is it all a giant totalitarian Uniparty.
Good luck without us.
>>you really do live up to your handle with every post.<<
LOL — you fell into the usual trap of ad hominem when you have no argumentation.
Not the first and not the last.
But thanks for playing.
>>Good luck without us.<<
This post endorsed by the “Hitlary Clinton 2014 committee.”
Thank you.
It's encouraging to see that others are getting it.
You think casting a vote for mickey Mouse gets counted for someone other than Mickey Mouse. That’s pretty freaking stupid. So it logically follows that someone holding that fantastical belief is in fact ‘dumb’ as their actions show.
I mean you can’t claim intelligence believing a lie to be true afterall. Our whole society is based on stuff like that. A thing is provable or it is not. In no legal scenario can a vote cast for one candidate be credited to another, ergo your belief is idiotic and proven false.
