“I’m not voting precisely because of a Republican lack of message.”
The democrats thank you! Although I agree with your points, not voting for a republican is a mistake.
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?
That depends on the Republican. And Mitch and Jonbon are two that should NEVER get a vote from anyone but a liberal. In fact, thats the ONLY votes they will get. Because anyone to the right of Bill Clinton would never do it.
