Your reference to a post made by Lake a few days after the election is not a fair judge of his sentiments. Of course, right after an election (Nov 10) loss like Romney had, there will be bitter feelings.

I was just reading a Rush interview and he repeated the conventional wisdom that Romney didn’t lose because he got only 26% of the 7% Hispanic vote. He lost because he got only 80% of the 28% Evangelical vote.

Lake thinks Evangelicals shot themselves in the foot. That’s not an irrational position.

I think Romney pushed them away intentionally with his support of everything gay and his being pro-life-lite.

Who’s right? (I am, of course :>)

However, Lake has never been anything but friendily sarcastic. He has never been rudely sarcastic with me.

I can’t fault a guy for standing up for what he believes is a correct assessment.

There are long, long lists of posts by a bunch of freepers yelling ABO and gritching about 'purists' and 'principle'.

Of course, now that Cruz is kicking ass and taking names by standing on principle, as he was elected to do, some are whining, and some are lifting their fingers and trying to tack their sails that way.

I don't remember a freshman senator ever getting this much national press for being a stone cold SOB about standing on principles and being vocal about it.
