There are 2 types of cut and run republican in internet conservative forums. The first are the ones who are angry. Not as much angry at the GOP as they are at the conservatives who called them DUers and democrats with a mask. These conservatives have actually allowed personal attacks become more important than their own conservative principals. They are at home rubbing their hands with glee actually hoping for a GOP defeat to punnish their critics online.

The second type are the ones so angry at the GOP that they want to teach the party a lesson by letting the democrats win.

This is a mistake because since campaign finance reform it's moe difficult to go against the incumbant in elections. Furthermore, the democrats tend to pass laws to make it easier for them to maintain power and more difficult for the GOP to get back in.

Also, the dems want to pass a law that will actually replace conservative talk am radio with elevator music. It's called the fairness doctrine.

I have a question for the cut and run republicans.

Given that a democrat defeat will actually make it much easier for Mcain to win the GOP Primary in 2008, enable Pelosi, Hillary and Kerry to make speeches about the pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, pro-tax, pro-embryonic stem cell research MANDATE that Americans gave them on November 7th. Are you willing to concede that democratically elected mandate to them?

This is exactly what I'm talking about.

The smarmy, know-it-all elitism oozing from the party apparatus and its worshippers.

Conservatives aren't allowed to exhibit emotion when their leaders don't at least adhere to 80% of conservatism? I'm not asking for 100% Republicans, I mean, all Republicans essentially support the UN and the Education Department, and conservatives still vote them in, right? But there hasn't even been a concerted effort to limit the size of gov't anywhere. What happenend to Bush's excellent "Ownership Society" plans? Where'd that go?
