The Republicans have always been the "stupid party." They act like losers and cowards even when they win. They always have RINO's conveniently planted at crucial places to side with the Democrats. They don't fight and they don't care. They cower at the thought of offending the Washington Post and NY Times.
But we are told to vote for them because they are better than the alternative. On my ballot that means John McCain and Jim Kolbe. I'd rather have Democrats than someone who claims to be on my side and stabs my beliefs in the back.
