I too am 68 years old. I'm not disabled and am sorry that you are. But, every bone in my body aches after working 60-70 hours per week since I was 13. Not compiling however.
Currently,I own my own business and create products that are copied world wide--once again not complaining, it is what it is. Along with building fishing rods both here and in Haiti I was an on-air broadcaster for thirty years and wrote for numerous different newspapers for over 30 years including a major driveby for 11 years.,p> I have made a few posts here on FR and a number on about a dozen other websites which I constantly post on trying to get wayward conservatives who are willing to have their vote canceled out by an illegal not to do so.
My success rate is good but like our candidates never 100%. I am in charge of a precinct in my county and a member of our county Executive Committee. Our Republican base in our county though small is very conservative and we have been able to attract many big names to our annual fund raisers which we raise pretty good money every year for local candidates. Here on FR I have helped promote our TV talk show thread week after week and we have been successful in uncovering many stories that the DBM ignores.If you want more info there are about 50k posts I have made here you can feel free to peruse.
I'M obliviously not in the same league as you are but considering I still work 60-70 hours per week I do as much as I can politically.
My message to many who have decided to stay home and punish the GOP rather than defeat them is that once the primaries are over you lost. It's over.If that conservative candidate is defeated we get what we get and then the choice is to support whomever it is or help the commies.That's the only choice under our system.If you want another system that's nice but its not reality.
I'm not much on helping commie/dems. Never have been never will be.
A perfect example of what I am advocating is the current race for potus in 2016. It's already well under way we are just not participating. We are letting the Hillary monster get a huge head start.
Right now conservatives such as you and I have a perfect shot at supporting a conservative candidate for President of the US in 2016.
We need to pick just one man/woman(Palin/Cruz etc.) get behind them and do everything that is necessary to make sure they win the nomination.If not we will get another Romney, Bush, Christie or worse chosen for us by the GOPe.
So the choice is ours. Do we sit back not vote and punish the Gop-e because we didn't get our way or try and insure we get our way by winning in the primaries? The choice is yours.
Thank you for the reality check.
That’s what it comes down to.
