Dear Texas Patriot...we have no one to blame but the Republicans themselves and especially President Bush....I went to vote,but I had to hold my nose to do so,they have betrayed their conservative base. Unfortunately the Republicans have been ignoring the people who put them there for years, and now they are paying the price......they have just completely ignored their base support.....no tax reform,no Socialist Security reform,They spent our hard earned tax money like a bunch of drunk Democrats,no smaller government, they would NOT control our borders, the Bush's Justice Department did NOTHING to all of the traitors and leakers ....NOTHING.... I can only hope that this will wake the "Republicans" up, but somehow I doubt it. It just seems that they just NEVER learn.....

Here's an old post of mine that backs your statement perfectly. Notice the part where they EXPECT your vote and count on people to vote for the party no matter what.

That's an old tired excuse. That is what the primaries are for. The weak GOp with RINOs was nothing compared to this liberal flaming Democrat Congress we're strapped with now. Anyone who's too shortsighted to understand this simple fact is a liability to the conservative movement if they're that easily swayed when they don't get exactly what they want when they want. And a few people here talk about I'm crying and need to get over it. Being angry and crying aren't quite the same. How about the whiners who don't like the weak GOP? How about THEY get over it! Welcome to the REAL WORLD!!! WHere you don't get all of what you want when you want it or how you want it!!! You take what you can get when you can get it, and how best you can manage it. THAT is the real world of politics. The conservatives that changed or didn't make their votes because they're fed up with a weak GOP are among the stupidest voters in the country.

Also, I think you're missing my point. I'm not defending the GOP leadership. They've been neutered at best and when Tom DeLay left, he took the only set of testicles in the House. The Senate already was pretty gentile. I've railed quite a bit about how wussy the GOP Congress leadership is. I lived in DeLay's district for over ten years, know him and his family, and when the Democrats picked him off for a non-crime, that was the start of this. It was down hill from there. What I didn't expect was that just enough conservative voters would give in to the liberal media koolaid and cost the Senate majority, especially with Steven's time on the SC numbered. I am wondering if any real conservative had a single short thought about the Supreme Court and what would happen if they didn't vote for their Republican Senators and they lose. That's my biggest problem with last night. The loss of the Senate and the guarnateed chance to make the SC constructionist with a fifth firm conservative like Scalia and Alito is gone. And it was a sure thing. If conservatives had just voted Republican just one more cycle, then fight to clean up the RINOs and get real conservatives in the primaries, the PROPER place to voice displeasure with weakness and RINOs. Too late now.
