Remember Scozzafava, Castle and Murkowski?
The preference for Hensarling (WHO THE HELL IS HENSARLING?!?) over Bachmann?

The GOP is not your friend. The Republican and Democrat Show is a good cop versus bad cop carnival act where they both work the crowd and pass the hat at the end of the show. They work together, eat together, sleep together and live together. They are not adversaries. They are accomplices. YOU are the marks.
Keep playing their game by their rules and you will keep losing to the house.
You are correct.
The sole purpose of the Republican Party is to serve as an ineffective alternative to the Democrat Party.
