You can't blame the Republican party for Conservatives whining and complaining of being "left out", "threatened", and "bullied" by those "big bad guys in the Republican party".
If these "true conservatives" want to affect change within the GOP that they believe they are an appendage of, they'd do well to actually show up on election day and participate in the public square of debate instead of staying home and stewing, bawling, and crying.
Too many of them did that in California during it's special election, bragged about "staying home" to everyone on FR, and they wonder why the state lurched leftward since then.
I'm tired of listless individuals.
Your bad attitude towards "true conservatives," as you call them, oozes out of every post. You can't help it.
Millions of conservatives worked their hearts out in the last election, and you smear them all. You, and too many of your friends on FR, continue to peddle the big lie that the loss of the Congress in the last election was the fault of conservatives, when nothing could be further from the truth.
If they "show up" on election day and vote for a Leftist like Giuliani or McCain or even Romney (effective leftist because he is totally wishy-washy and pliable) then Conservatives demonstrate their irrelevance politically and it will be several election cycles before the Republican Party or Republican candidates think they should or can run on any sort of conservative principles and positions. When the Leftist calls himself a Republican that does NOT make him in any sense a conservative anything.
