I’d ask that you don’t quit. Please.

Nobody wants to leave, not really.......

Frankly speaking, the mood and conduct on this forum degenerates more and more each election cycle.

The last big blowout was began with the Shiavo BS, and then ended with the "Wild Turkey Opus", as I call it.

This event began with attacks on those supporting Rudy, Romney or voicing disapproval of backing useless candidates who's only claim to fame is support of some cause that only "true conservatives" believe in. They now have morphed what once was issue advocacy, into so called "True Conservative Principles" and they reject anyone who does not embrace the same line of crap as they now demand as the entrance fee to carry the "conservative label"..

History is replete with this sort of demand for political purity on both sides of the spectrum, and it is called by many names.

You can call this one anything you like, but it is what it is. Nobody wants to leave. But when the desire for a comfortable place to post and exchange ideas overcomes the habit of membership and the realization that the group you joined is not the same any-longer, something has to be done. Members deal with this in differing ways, but it must be dealt with at some point.
