You have been drinking the kool-aid for too long. You are now beginning to talk like a liberal. Your premise appears to be that the GOP was the victim of betrayal by its conservative base, not that it was responsible for the consequences of its actions and inactions. If anyone has been betrayed it is the Evangelical Christians and the Reagan conservatives. No one is entitled to my vote, they have to earn it, and not by being just a little less reprehensible as the competition. The GOP tried to play that card one too many times. Accountability is a conservative value. I do not vote against a party, I vote for it, but I have to have something to base that on. For too many it is obvious that the GOP didn't deliver.

My, my isn't it the truth. I wondered how long it would take them to crawl out of the woodwork and "attempt" to vindicate their "decision", or maybe better, "indecision".

They must have had to "work" on it for a while, this is one of the first ones I've seen show his "keyboard" today.

All I'm seeing is a rationalization, after I caught Natural Law complaining about the Donk's future plans for our country. I'm old enough to remember what it was like to have Donks in power. It cured me of some of my idealism.

If I wasn't half in the bag, I might take the time & energy to be less harsh. But I am, so I won't.

Hang on tight kiddies, we are in for quite the ride. You don't owe anyone your vote. It was yours to use as you saw fit. Ask yourself, what lesson do you think will be taken away from yesterday's bloodbath. From my POV, looks to me like purists are not dependable, their votes are a fungible thing. Better is not good enough to those who want what they want. Carter cured me. What's it gonna take to cure you NL?

Don't put the cart before the ox. It appears as if "a lot of Conservatives weren't buyin' what Republicans were sellin'.."

Deal with it.

I've gotten more pi$$ed-off responses to my description of electing Democrats as treason today.

The results must be sinking in. Somewhere, some of them are saying, "Oh, dear God, what have we done?"
