We've got to get enough people in the right places to slow it down before we can begin to reverse course.

On that we agree completely. Let's look at the facts. The majority party in the House is the same as the majority party in the Senate. The President is also from that party. It's pretty clear that voting for that party doesn't get the right people in the right places to slow down the double time march toward a third world socialist-hole.

I'm still voting for Cruz but I'm not sure about the rest of them.

Unlike the democrats it's hard as all get out to get republicans to vote a straight party line on anything controversial because so many of them come from purple districts.

You're not going to find a dem that's going to vote with them consistently either and third party votes are just a wasted vote that help dem's win.

Where we have to take a stand and get active is in the primaries to ensure conservatives, not just republicans make the trip to DC and then we can effect some real change.

If the GOP party leadership can't make Republican legislators toe the line on platform issues, that's a big problem. At election time, if the GOP party leadership endorse those who strayed, they're perpetuating the problem. When they do that, they make their endorsement a rubber stamp and effectively useless for conservatives who care about issues more than they care about the party.

I told my elected officials what they need to accomplish to earn my vote. Incumbents who don't deliver don't get my vote.
