What reality exactly?
You say that you don't want another liberal in office, but that is not always a bad thing if it reminds Republicans that they need to avoid governing like Democrats.
Ford losing to Carter ended up being a positive as it drove the Republican party to the right and led to the Reagan revolution.
Bush 41 losing to Clinton wasn't that bad either. It forced the party to the right and the conservatives took over the house after being in the minority for 40 years. That would have never happened with a Bush 41 reelection as he was wobbling to the left.
The republican congress actually governed as conservatives and kept Clinton's policies in check. With Bush 43 in office, the congressional republicans can't spend money fast enough.
You see, rewarding bad behavior just to avoid a liberal being in office has the unintended consequence of weakening the party and driving it left.
Hold your elected officials accountable and things will work out ok.
If only holding the elected officials accountable meant that we don't have to tear apart the entire GOP..which is what has been happening. It's stupid and non productive.
Write your Senator..make honest, respectful TV ads but don't give me this "Bush should be impeached" crap some have been spreading.
