Somehow I think that "we" is not really the term you mean to use.
The Republican party was once a team effort. Something happened to that, after we won, and it happened specifically after the 2004 re-election. This is when the sniping began, and when the domino's began to fall.
I never left the team and I tried to stay focused on the prize, but others were more concerned with gaining control of the party and they did this to the detriment of all.
