Dittos here pal. In order to punish a few, the nation will suffer.
It's like beating your kids to death to teach them a lesson. There will be lots of regrets within the next few years, but it will be too late.
And I too think that even some here, some FReepers, are some of those who caused this to happen. Whenever someone calls me a baby or other childish name calling, in response to a generic comment I make where I single out not a single specific person, it makes me think that it struck a nerve and that those who respond to viciously are suffering guilty conscience. I was in a large room of people who reacted the same as I as the returns came in, and they're good solid hard working conservative people who volunteered many hours and many days, some running for office themselves. I bet those who bust my chops here think that just because they vote, that that's all it takes. Well just voting doesn't cut it. And I will not accept criticism from people who simply vote, and then come post here and think they've done all they could. To h**l with that. There are so many things to do beyond just voting, it's silly. And like you said Blessed; "just maybe they're the Republican vote cut-and-runners you're talking about; they doth protest too much" The only conservatives I've talked to since the election who are more interrested in fussing at me for being angry that the Congress is loss, are a few FReepers here. All the people I know are just as upset as me and even though they're not happy with the weak GOP leadership, NO ONE wanted Democrats winning Congress. Real conservatives with their head in the game recognize that above all, a Democrat Congress is the WORST thing to let happen. You don't give up a touchdown, in the hopes that you can come up the field and maybe get a field goal.
