I agree, but remember how Dole seemed to abandon the base and what happened.
They always lose when they abandon their base...ask Bush Sr.
After all it was Pat's speech that derailed the election for 41.(/super amount of dripping sarcasm with eyes doing 360 degrees)
The BASE is supporting George W. Bush, according to the latest Pew Research survey. 97 percent of us.
Could it be that the perception of the whiners, oh I mean the purist base was wrong? You think maybe if they would have been mature in their thinking that we could have had a different outcome? Perhaps if the base would have focused on taking back the White House and voted smart and strategically they could have won and the current events we are dealing with right now could have been prevented.
We are blaming the dems for our woes but it is our own actions or lack of focus that allowed the scum to stay in office. You don't think the democrats know this? Go ahead and vote your conscious and remain ideolgically pure but when we get Kerry/Edwards for 8 years do not complain about the mess we will end up being in.
