I think the GOP-E has pretty well demonstrated that "we" lack the political clout to hold anyones feet to any fire.
We are going to spend the next four years trying our best to keep our own feet from being run over by the bus we have been thrown under.
The GOP-E were not, of course, the only people to blame in the downing of more promising GOP presidential hopefuls. Obama emboldened the Democrats to pull tricks more dirty than have been seen in decades. It intimidated Sarah Palin from even making a bid. It blew Herman Cain out of the water, when the compassionate gestures of a kind hearted man were flouted as having sexual overtones by a few crazy women who appeared at an awfully convenient time, and got his wife in a dither. The GOP-E’s fault was in faint defense of these persons. But where was the Tea Party when all this was going down? Doubtless they wanted to help but practically they were caught with, no pun intended, pants down.
I guess you could look at it that way...
I plan on not giving to the RNC, showing at all my congresscritter events to ping him, going to candidates forums to ping and stay in constant touch with staffs to let them know how I feel...
and if I win the lottery, stand back - the you-know-what will hit the fan!
