Precisely...At a moment when I am seriously questioning the need for any further involvement with the Pub party- in general, this political sellout makes another bid to drive the GOP further to the Left. Again, Carlyle's account of Cromwell's famous comment comes to mind:

Dear John (LOL)--“You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing lately…. Depart, I say; and let us have done with you. In the name of God,—go!”
