We hear that on Free Republic in every election, but let me ask you this:
When a 'Republican' has proven beyond a shadow of doubt that he is an abject traitor to everything the party supposedly stands for, at what point do you withhold your vote from him/her?
Where do you personally draw the line?
In the last election, we had a Republican nominee whose record in office was the envy of liberal Democrats everywhere, yet we were told by all and sundry that we MUST give him our vote to fire the dreaded liberal Democrat in office.
Now, that same shameless big government liberal is out talking about how the first order of business after winning back the Senate should be passing an amnesty bill.
WTF - over?
And many in this community still think he's our friend.
Yes, I understand the argument that a flip-flopping, unreliable faux Republican is better by far than a dyed-in-the-wool Marxist, but again -- where do you draw the line on giving your support to politicians who simply wear your team jersey, while actively supporting and advancing the agenda of the left?
You draw the line in the primary. After that you get on the team or else you keep your mouth shut.
IOW He's NOT a Republican in any way shape or form PERIOD.
I gladly vote for Republican candidates, when the Republicans run one.
Why can't the Republicans run one, instead of mirror images of the DNC candidate?
In the primaries.

Unfortunately, vote them in to win the majority, then fight for Conservatives to replace them. Better than having dems in office!
When that so-called Republican is running for president there might be justification for not voting, but in a midterm like this with so many other things in the mix, I believe we must vote. We stand a tiny chance of regaining the Senate and holding the House. That is so critical at this point it should not even be a consideration for not voting. It is our very LAST chance to save America. A GOP Senate would give us another chance. We have gained a lot of ground because of the Tea Parties who have never stopped working from the bottom up. We can put enough pressure on a GOP Senate to pull them back from disasters, where we have no chance of influencing the Marxists. We won't stop working even if we only get a few more Senators. If we don't, by 2016 the country will be so far gone it will be futile to vote.
