Whittaker Chambers said that "the great failing of American conservatives is they do not retrieve their wounded."

I was just about to try once again to find that quote.. I had it wrong with something more like "kill their own."

I believe that Chambers predicted that the commies would win based upon what he experienced and witnessed.

Heck many so called "Conservatives" here were the first to join the liberal dogpile on Akin. Some espousing a 3rd party candidate for MO while simultaneously defending a liberal POS like mitt. Not only do republicans - for I cannot call them Conservatives - abandon their wounded, they go out of their way to paint bullseyes on them for the enemy to snipe at.

The definition of a Republican has become someone who will do anything in order to be liked by a liberal.
