You feel betrayed because you were--by the same idiots who are now throwing Sarah Palin into the trash compactor. See if the GOP gets my vote again anytime soon!

I’m just catching up on my news here on FR-what is this about the Republicans throwing Gov. Palin under the bus??

So, let me get this straight, some "unnamed staffers" say this or that and that translates into "the GOP"?

That means that, in the future, "the GOP" won't get your vote?

Political parties are not living beings. They are inanimate organizations just like rental cars are inanimate objects. Like rental cars, the way they behave depends on who is in the driver's seat and that can change in one day.

If you don't like "the GOP", then don't whine that you are going to abandon the GOP car so that you can ride a third party tricycle and become political roadkill. If you don't like the way the "the GOP" car is being driven, then fight to get in the driver's seat.

The way you get in the driver's seat is to get people who think like you elected and the way you get people who think like you elected is for you to educate the majority of voters to believe in the way you think.

Until you get the majority of voters to think the way you think, you can rail against "the GOP" all you want but you might as well be railing at an inanimate tar baby.

Is the GOP standing up to the sludge being poured out by the McCain sour grapes gang on the only true conservative (and real Republican) in the entire campaign?

Right. Didn’t think so. Next...
