“Yes, well that is the same spew we heard 4 years ago and 8 years ago after every screwball notion of McCain and Bush for that matter. I’m sure you’d like us all to forget the facts and ‘move on’ and keep electing these traitors. The question is WHY?”

Spew. Why thank you, AuntB, that is such an adult thing to say to a stranger! The question is WHY do we keep losing. Because some Conservatives want it all, like children. As long as they do, they will lose. The opposition finds it so easy to split the other side in two to conquer. It's a piece of cake, and some of you will never learn that success comes in increments, and sometimes you have to bite the bullet to make the most of a less than perfect situation. When Conservatives lose, so many of them cry out loud for months on end and only hurt themselves by doing so. I find it childish and a waste of time.

If the question is WHY would I like all of you to forget the facts, that's another silly statement. But many of you don't know the facts, just rumors and innuendo. Just as with the Swift Vets who knew the facts, the opposition so easily painted them as liars to their followers. Forums like this are easily manipulated to incite emotion from otherwise quiet fingers, and hate does have a life of its own. Some posters here attack the same people day after day, multiple times. I do find that a bit odd. It's simply preaching to the choir.

Success? What success? So far, the only ones succeeding are the Democrats, in part because the Republicans are willing to surrender, all in the name of "bipartisanship."

But hey, keep on believing that the Republicans are conservative. At the end of the day, conservatives will find themselves left out in the cold by the Republican leadership, which apparently has no problem following the Democrats further and further left.

The question is WHY do we keep losing. Because some Conservatives want it all, like children. As long as they do, they will lose.

All that's missing here is a reference to "purists."

You know why "we" (i.e., the Republicans) keep losing? Because they continually strive to be better Democrats than the Democrats, and frankly, that's a battle that can't be won.

Enjoy your slide into obscurity.

It is obvious you are not part of the choir. When the GOP embraces conservative principles, it wins. If the RINOs persist in pushing the party into just being another wing of the Democrat party, the GOP will cease to exist. I have voted for the last RINO having to hold my nose. McCain does not represent the views of the majority of the Rep party. We need to jettison him in the upcoming primary.

Yes, McCain calling the swift boat vets "dishonest and dishonorable" was truly despicable.
