Re: The "Homing Instincts" letters in Reader Mail's Extremism Is a Vice:

Few of the disgruntled Republicans who threaten to stay home on election day ever mention Congress. I wonder if they know that by law the U.S. House of Representatives initiates all spending bills. I wonder if they voted for a more conservative Republican representatives in the primary elections held earlier this year or if they stayed home then, too. Hmmm. I wonder if they've heard that Democrats in the U.S. Senate filibuster at the drop of a hat because they can always count on the votes of several Republican senators. Finally, I wonder if some of these self-identified "Republicans for 40 years" voted for H. Ross Perot once or twice. Did the spoiler role work for the Perotistas? Did that "giant sucking sound" the Perotistas heard from NAFTA go away? Ever? Do disgruntled Republicans think President Kerry letting the terrorists win while raising their taxes will make them happy? Then they are correct. They should switch to Independent and wash their hands of the Republican Party. Then no matter what happens it won't be their responsibility. Will it?
