"The White House has failed to support and defend it's party, it's silence left the "guilty" tag hanging in the wake of manufactured scandal and smeers."
..and failed to defend itself as well.

Indeed.
I'm tired of conservatives being seen as weak, and the "nice guy". We brought chocolates and candy to a gutter knife fight, and got our asses handed to us.
And then, to pour more salt in the wound, just as we're hearing the scope of our ass beating, Tony Snow gets out there and says "Hey, okay, we got creamed, but it's okay, because now we can pass the legislation that lost us our base in teh first place!"
My head is STILL reeling that he did that. It was and is complete and utter abandonment of the party, the base, and conservatives everywhere, on a crucial issue, and I've YET to hear the White House explain to us in terms that make any sense that "Reform" (ie. amnesty) will be beneficial to anyone except restaurant owners and contractors and businesses that hire illegals.
When the White House and the GOP start defending principles that benefit the common good as the cost of personal gain, and not principles that prop up business with illegal practices, then maybe I'll start think about hanging around.
It's about principles.
