the GOP (and FR to a certain extent) has become like a bucket of crabs, in which all the crabs fight and claw with one another and only work together to pull down those crabs smart enough to try and escape from the bucket.

That's how I see it. Thanks, Virginia Ridgerunner.

During the California elections for Governor, many here were climbing out of the bucket and supporting McClintock. But some of those content in the bucket said a vote for McClintock was a vote for Bustamonte. Some stayed true to their conservative principles and voted for McClintock while others supported Schwartzneggar.

With S.B. 777 becoming law in California, some of those voting for Schwartzneggar now realize the mistake in voting for a RINO. Unfortunately there are still many here who are content in the bucket.

After watching the lesson some Californians (and some outside California) learned with Schwartzneggar, I'm more convinced that voting for a RINO is similar to voting for a Democrat. You get the same results, it just might take a little longer for those supporting a RINO to realize it.

A few years ago I joined the others already outside the bucket. I encourage others to join us.

Well said. We’ll end up with a rinocrat candidate, who’ll lose to the Democrat. I find it difficult to say Republican and conservative in the same sentence these days. And Bush was our warm-up act.
