With so many people that share your view maybe not . That is the reason we have the situation we are in now . I'll no longer be a sucker for the Republicans .

And the democrats rejoiced.

TAM, I think they did in '64 when Barry Goldwater lost the 1964 presidential election to Lyndon Johnson by "one of the largest landslides in history." And back then, the country was far more conservative than it is now.

I still would like to know where the conservatives were in the latest election for Speaker. Only 25 votes against? If conservatives wanted a change, they had a great chance. Seems to me almost everyone was protecting - themselves. The opportunity to send a strong message was lost.

Chas.

Then I chose to sit out. Let the country rot, and let our descendants mourn the loss of freedom. Maybe in a few centuries another group will rise up, as our forefathers did, and build a country based on freedom. If you ask me to vote for a McCain, McConnell or Boehner, then I chose to sit out.

And then, yes, at the national level you will have Democrats for a LONG time. If that's what you want, push a Christie, Romney or Bush and tell conservatives to take their medicine. It ain't happenin. Not this time. Not after the betrayal of 2014.

Christi has no chance. Explain why no Republican candidate that you want can get the nomination. I'll save you some time; those people don't have the support because American voters want moderates.

Elected officials didn't ruin the Country, Americans ruined the Country. They want to be able to kill babies under the guise of "choice." They claim to want fiscal responsibility, but they want their Senator or Representatives to make sure pork barrel funds come to their state and town. They can't accept the simple truth that, if you don't work, you don't eat, so they raid the Social Security Fund to provide aid to dependent children and all sorts of welfare.

No Senator or House Member elected themselves; it was done by their constituents and the idea that there is a majority of conservative voters who just sit out elections is a pipe dream. White voters who make up the majority of conservatives turned out in record numbers in 2012 and Obama was still reelected.

The Country has changed and it isn't going back. People can either sit out and whine, or they can get involved and make the best of a bad situation.
