As bad as I have disgust for most things Democrat, the real whiner was the Republican leadership.

Republican lawmakers vacillated in the wind, voting every side of the issue.

We loyalists to the party and to our beliefs were left fluttering like some old holey pair of jockey shorts hanging on a cloths line.

Republican lawmakers lied to us and in many cases pissed in our faces when it came to traditional American issues.

Yep, biggest blunder of the year was those who believed that average Republican supporters would continue walking behind blindly as Republican leaders marched off the proverbial cliff.

The biggest blunders included Conservatives allowing "Moderates" to pose as true Republicans and pollute the Party.

It's not time to abandon the (R) party. Not at all. It's time to clean house, take names and kick the Pied Piper RINOs out.

"

Very true. Republicans missed a lot of opportunities in the last six years. Spending was out of control, oversight was lax, nothing was done about the borders and the base was poked in the eye many times. The party was arrogant enough to believe that they could continue to win not by pointing to a stellar record but to pointing to the Dems and saying that "the other guys are worse." Are they worse? Sure, but it is hard to get people excited about voting for your guy when you can't give them a better reason than that and have no coherent message. The few elections before this we had a more unified message and ran a smarter campaign.
