Have you ever had a job where you were the reliable one who consistently delivered, and it led to you being crapped on while the boss pandered to the lazy to try to cajole a little work out of them, simply because he needed people? That's how I feel as a conservative in the republican party. They keep fighting for the middle and screwing me because they THINK I will vote for them regardless.

Umm, wow, you've summed up how I feel at times.

It's not that I've left the GOP after over three decades of voting, supporting, and volunteering for them, it's more like they've left me.

I haven't changed any of my beliefs, and yet I'm now considered to be the fringe right-wing of the party, whereas I used to be a part of the mainstream GOP.

The fact that more and more over the past few years, I've referred to the GOP as "they" or "them", has clued me in to things.

Uh oh, the "my party before my beliefs" crowd will now be assailing you. Better get your asbestos suit on.
