because our party became filled with RHINOS.. these past couple of months we did not see a Republican party... what we saw was an ugly morphing of it into the one thing we despise..largess in social programs spending.. illegal immigration absorbtion, and a politically correct style of fighting the WOT.. that is not what we voted them in for last time
I'm just ticked and frustrated because two of the most ethical, conservative politicians in the country - PA Sen. Rick Santorum and House Rep. Michael Fitzpatrick -- lost on Tuesday.
Not because they were "RHINO's" like you said.
In fact, let me ask you why these good conservatives lost.
Fitzpatrick, who liked to call himself "independant" over GWB, is staunchly pro-life, a strick constructionist judicially, a married father of six, devoutly Catholic, strongly for low taxes, etc.
And this district has a Republican voter registration edge, 186,000 (R) to about 158,000 (D) !!!
I further believe this election puts the lie to the old Tip O'Neill cliche that "all politics are local", because they aren't.
The Dems NATIONALIZED this election by creating the perception of an endless Iraq war, corruption and big spending, and lack of GOP leadership.
And you know what. There's some truth to all those accusations, I'm afraid to say.
And I am a conservative through and through, to the point I go into depressions whenever a conservative Republican loses an election.
I've barely eaten since Tuesday, and I have a hard time sleeping.
