They have caused the RNC to put up social conservatives in areas that will not vote for them,
I just about died laughing.
Perhaps you can console Santorum, and the various other solid conservatives who were blown out in previously supportive districts.
You either recognize this reality for what it is, or take your denials to the loser club and opine how how you just were not conservative enough.
That's what gets me laughing.....Har, har, har!
You will have another chance to read the tea leaves correctly in less than two years.
My guess is that you won't see it again. But that's OK now. I don't care anymore and have turned a corner. I know precisely what to do and have given you a heads up. You can take my word for it now, or you can take the word of the voters in '08.
Personally, I prefer to be prepared, but I may be last Boy Scout left who has not already deserted the party for the relative safety of the Independent party.
The future of the republican party depends on folks like you. You can either leave, or be much more prepared to negotiate compromises. If you don't do one or the other, the party will remain a poor representation of a minority entity with no chance of success.
My guess is that with no power to enact your agenda, there will be a mass defection when it becomes more clear to you. At that time, we will collect all the broken china and start the rebuilding process. Something I have already participated in before, in the 70s.
I never have liked doing the same job twice, but that's the way it will be. You could have prevented it, and you could make it much easier, but I see no sign that you will.
And so it.....goes......
