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.
OK...your reply clarifies things a bit.
There were a couple of ways your first post could be read....one would be faulting conservatives for being conservative, the other would be faulting conservatives for having a destructive "all or nothing" attitude.
I'm assuming now the latter is correct.
