The base may be conservative, but there are RINOs who are needed to VOTE AGAINST the Democraps.
What I think was a big failure of vision was people here thought they were being so “principled” in not voting at all in 2008 and 2012, but in so doing, you’re furthering the democrats’ ability to win.
Just as the article said: In 2012, there were an average of 55,000 Repubs in EVERY State who voted Republican and did not vote for Romney. That’s 2,750,000 votes wasted!! Those non-votes allowed Bork Obunga to rule as a king and ruin this country for the past 6 years.
People may not like Romney, but I still maintain that the sheer damage that President Narcissus has been able to wreak on this country is mainly the fault of those who didn’t vote AGAINST Obama.
ANY RINO would have been better than Bork Obunga, the fascist punk. I think people are finally realizing their mistake in giving this hateful racist/fascist the keys the White House. Not sure what is so hard to understand about this.
Yes, I agree we need a conservative who can articulate conservative principles to a dumbed down electorate who has been brainwashed. A Reagan. So far, I don’t see anyone able to do that. Cruz isn’t really remarkable. Palin is woefully inarticulate. None of these people are at Reagan’s level. Ben Carson might be a good one, but I don’t know enough about all of his views.
Being conservative doesn’t mean that you have to be beholden to a party, let alone the GOP. A voter doesn’t owe their allegiance to no one and it’s a shame that you are actng like that
Your frustrations notwithstanding...
Since your post is a shot across the bow at any who deigned to not vote for Romney, I’m going to take it as a personal attack...one against my character essentially accusing me of being an 0bama supporter.
With the exception of Romney, I voted downticket R...all the way.
What, pray tell, has the HoR accomplished since they won a majority? What did the R Senators do in confirmation hearings?
And then we get news that RINOs Hatch and Graham are going to confirm Lynch...RINOs are doing a damned fine job of screwing us regardless of the “principled” voters not voting for that douche Romney.
Then in 2016, we hand the R’s majorities in both Houses and what are we getting? The middle finger, that’s what.
CONgre$$ has failed to exercise Checks and Balances...not the voters.
