..I am just sorry that a couple of very nice people felt compelled to jump ship--or in one case maintain dual citizenship, just because their fragile psyche could not tolerate criticism (much deserved) of GWB.

IMHO there is no "elsewhere"--if you love politics and America, FR is home.

The Balkanization of the GOP continues--but it would be better that it crash and burn, and a new conservative party be born than we continue on this road towards "DNC Lite"...

The GOP was in total shambles in the wake of Watergate and then Reagan totally reshaped the party for the better.
