Besides getting the conservative voters hyper-active in the primaries...they also need to take over the GOP County and State Committees and KILL ONCE AND FOR ALL....the so-called "open primary" Where the RATs elect the RINOs.

While I do understand what you're saying, it still isn't an excuse to not vote. Conservatives of all people should NEVER miss an election. The sorry state of the country today is due to this, IMHO.

If we all voted to a man/woman we'd NEVER lose a single--open or closed--primary.

Agreed, that's why it was my FIRST point:

(getting the conservative voters hyper-active in the primaries)

That is the whole Kaboodle.

Outside this site, in cities and towns everywhere, more than 3 out of four don't even bother to cast a vote.

On the average, only 50% register, and only 50% of them actually vote!

The untapped power is not withholding votes to make a statement, it is in getting the 75% percent of the population to actually get involved.(well, the conservative ones, as least.)
