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.
Oh, I'm going to vote, alright. You bet your sweet bippy, I will, and so will my wife.
There are quite a few statewide races that I will crawl over broken glass to register my vote. My choices for U.S. Senate are crap, though. I don't want to willingly give the despicable John Cornyn my precious vote. I think there's a third party guy on the ballot who might get it.
I understand the prevailing thought about what a GOP dominated Senate (and House) will mean for the next two years, but Lucy has pulled that football away from me at the last minute so many times, that I'm mistrustful about what the reigning old bulls will do with their majority. I can just see them failing to do the most basic things to stop Obama's radical agenda, and it hurts me to my soul.
I'm losing faith in the process, Nan. We keep being sold out, but being told that we MUST give them our votes, "or else!"
