And it's because of people like you that politicians don't stick their necks out. They can't expect any form of loyalty to them and they know that people like you will turn on them in a minute.

That's because I don't have loyalty to a politician, but to ideas and ideals. I expect the politicians I support to be loyal to the principles they espoused when I voted for them. Once a politician departs radically from those principles (or in this case, refuses to stand up for them), he becomes anathema. I'm sorry if you find something wrong with that, but anyone who is loyal to a weathervane politician is doomed to be bitterly disappointed.

Oh really? When you voted for Jeb (BTW, how did you do that when you live in New Jersey?) did you tell him you expected him to storm a hospice?

You seem to know the words, but can't carry the tune...your criticisms have been both bitter and personal.
