They say what it takes to get elected then go not follow thru. That is one of the reasons we are discusted with them.
I've been disgusted with my GOP reps for almost 20 years, and with the GOP itself forever. But I (mostly) vote Republican. I haven't given time or money to the Republican party, per se, in about 10 years. But I have given lots of money and hours to individual candidates and advocay groups that reflect my sense of "how things should be."
