Thank you for your kind words.
Yes, I also believe that the GOP has been infiltrated and/or co-opted by the Dems (or those who now own the Dems). I don't think it has been done with an eye to any particular person (i.e., a Hillary), but it has been done to deny Americans any viable choices other than one from column "crap" and one from column "crud." What has astounded me in the last few weeks is the depth and breadth of the hatred the GOP establishment has for anyone they perceive as an outsider.
Equally astounding to me is that I - a 32-year Republican - would become the object of their hatred. Well, "fool me once, shame on me; fool me twice, shame on you." I'm not going to make it three for three for the sake of an obvious turncoat like John McCain
Mr. niteowl77
You are not the object of the hatred of real Republicans. Yes, you and I and most conservatives may be objects of hatred by the leftists who have now infiltrated the GOP....but they are not Republicans anyway.
And, the truth is, THEY are the object of OUR hatred.
