They threw their lot in with the libs at least six years ago.

Yes, but I'd say much sooner that that. When I noticed the glib way several prominent Republicans spoke disparagingly of Reagan during his second term, the same joking way as did the Libs, I began to pay more attention in the times that followed. Since then, I've not been surprised how remarkably the Republican Party has consistently failed to achieve goals conservatives might want.

Only conservatives have been accomplishing anything remotely positive for the USA since Reagan was first elected. Everything else the "Republicans" have worked for has been for political show. Never was a Republican and I'm happy that I disassociated from them many years before they finally took me off their mailing list.

Due to the Party's proven insincerity of "The Big Tent" ploy, and the fact we conservatives bought into it for a long while, there are now more Communists in powerful positions than conservatives.

Every nominee since Reagan, except for McCain, was ANTI-REAGAN in 1980, Romney actually left the republican party during the 1980 campaign.

I would submit that every presidential election since 1980 and every congressional election since 1994 has been "about the Republicans".

If they governed well -- and conservatively -- they won. If they governed poorly, they got defeated.

For example, in 2006, the Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the Democrats didn't win; Trent Lott and Denny Hastert and the Republicans lost. The GOP had proved itself unworthy of governing.

Examine every election after the above start points and tell me otherwise.

You’re probably right.
