This sort of lumping all Republicans together angers me.
Who gets hurt by this? The good Republicans.
If the 46% of the House that is Democratic colludes with the 10% that is liberal-Republican, guess what? The Democrats hold sway. But then blame the Democrats and the liberal Republicans, not the Republican Party.
Oust Chafee! Oust Snowe! Oust Collins! Oust Specter! Oust McCain! Oust Voinovich! Heck, oust Santorum if he's not conservative enough for you. But this talk of "the Republicans" is foolish nonsense designed to destroy the party, and don't think it isn't.
When the National GOP STOPS supporting liberal Republicans, then they will have a legitimate reason for not being criticized....THERE ARE NO EXCUSES NOW for the GOP's failure to shape social policy at home....
