A while back I made a post that said nothing the GOP does will stop the true believers.
In the last 6 months, they have trashed the conservative base, demoted their own members, Pushed a documented arch liberal, cut funding to one Pub candidate, allowed another to lose a seat through inaction and today, they come out and flat admit that with enough votes, MORE than enough votes to dethrone the worst GOP speaker to ever hold the seat, they reelect him knowing the base is furious.
Anyone willing to stick with a party that does a fraction of that, and FIGHT THOSE WHO OPPOSE THAT CRAP is not anyone I want on my side of the fence. I will never understand why they are not run out of conservatism on a rail.
Nothing is ever good enough for your purists. What you fail to realize is that most conservatives and Republicans are not on your side and never will be. Even you people can’t decide who is and is not a “real” conservative. If you did start your own party, you would quickly destroy it with infighting accusing one another of being impure. You people will never get near the reins of power.
