And, of course, those of us who had already left the party just feel vindicated.

Sorry, we just do.

The same party contains some stellar, heroic folks who oppose every syllable that this bunch said to the Supreme Court.

The very same party.

Totally DIFFERENT types of principles and beliefs contained within it.

I don’t mind anyone pointing out the one hand such as this. What I mind is pretense that this bunch is all there is to being a Republican, and refusing to credit the truth of “on the other hand” existing within the same party.

The party is just a reflection of the people, not the other way around. The Republican party is moving left on these social issues because the public is. Once upon a time decades ago we fought over things like contraception and porn magazines, as the public began to accept those things the party simply shifted to accept them too.

The problem in this country is the education, media and entertainment establishments are all far left. They are pushing the culture left at a rapid pace. The parties just follow - the Democrats first and then the Republicans. When conservatives make inroads at winning back the culture, then the Republican party will move in that direction too. In the meantime, the GOP is simply the lesser of two evils (which is what you almost always get in a 2 party system anyway).

Yep. The GOP truly is the dead enders party now. There's really no real distinction between them and democrats, other than intensity of effort.
