Oh, by the way. Republicans don’t care about any of these real issues. They just care about being perceived as putting up a good enough fight in order to get reelected so they can do the stealing that they do.

jgophel - you make EXCELLENT points in your prior post! Not all Republicans ‘don’t care’. The leadership has been astray - to be sure - but is showing signs of life and this pretty disciplined vote was a sign of life.
There is still a massive amount of conservative energy in the GOP. I know they’ve been frustrating - but we need to define our criticism of the GOP clearly, imho.
Hard to find though. I agree, probably not all, but most, and it certainly doesn’t seem to be enough to protect us. Somehow, we need to find a way to stop playing their (politician’s) game and make them play our game.
Maybe a real constitutional based wing of the GOP can emerge or a third party will have to emerge. It will have to swift considering the risks of splitting the vote for too long. I think this is what Sarah Palin is up to. She is not GOP, and that will begin to show over the next year or so. We can only hope she can do it fast enough. We have to be willing to support whoever will stand up for conservative principals. Moderates have no place, especially these days.
