You ignore the fact that your views are in the minority. If you persist in threatening to not vote for a republican candidate over ideological grounds, then you help to elect democrats.(the real enemy)

It would be my hope that you would vote a straight pary ticket and hold your nose if you must.

We need a plurality in congress to stop the democrat machine. We need much more than we presently have in the house to avoid costly compromises! That is what is happening now. We are not dealing from a position of strength!

You ignore the fact that your views are in the minority.

And you ignore the fact that there are more conservatives in the Republican party than some care to admit that have become dissatisfied with who the national party endorses for office. I used to vote straight Republican ticket every election. Now I do not, at least at the local level. In some of our local elections the Democrats are more conservative than the Republicans. Strange but true.

So my decision this year is to vote for the Republican candidate for Senate or not vote at all. I will not vote for the Democratic candidate. But I'm not sure I can honestly vote my conscience by voting for someone who on most issues I strongly disagree
