Tune out establishment

I am very disappointed in former Congressman George Nethercutt’s decision to sit out the presidential election if the establishment’s candidate loses in the primary. In his opinion, the top two candidates are either dishonest or too crude.

That is what losers always say when they do not get their way. Conservatives are not quitters. In the past, we held our noses and voted for the Republican establishment’s nominees - Bush, Dole and McCain - even though we knew they were Democrat-lite.

Now our country is in real crisis and most voters are waking up. Why would we vote for the people who got us into this mess and expect them to get us out of it? We have had enough of this slide toward socialism that has never worked anywhere.

Establishment Republicans, not conservatives, are the ones threatening to boycott the Republican Party. The top two Republicans running for president are very different, so do your research and vote for your choice, not the establishment’s.
