Probably the widening gulf of inconsistency between the stated philosophy and the real-life actions of the Republican Party got to be too much for many people.

That's it in a nutshell. We've been sold out by lip service conservatives and we have to face the facts, Republican politicians are like all other politicians - first and foremost for themselves and job security.

This is absolutely correct - I see it all around me in my conservative friends.

We had power for 12 years - 6 with all three houses - and what do we have to show for it?

More RHINOS than ever.

ok - we got two Supreme Court Justices (and even that was in the midst of allowing democrats the "right" to filibuster nominations and allowing many conservative nominations to die).

and nothing else.

Bingo.

FR is pretty much my hangout for "conservative" matters about 90% of the time, and in the last year my participation has decreased dramatically for exactly that reason. Not to mention my cutbacks of volunteered time and monetary donations to the RNC, et al.
