Because McCain chose Palin, he caused so many of us to have hope that perhaps he really had changed. But when he lost, he showed his true colors, as well as the sentiment of the GOP as a whole. They're going to be very unhappy that they did this. We've got a lingering bad taste in our mouths from this, and we haven't forgotten any of it.

If the GOP shadows this site (and we're pretty sure they do), they better be taking notice. We intend on basically disassembling them and kicking them to the curb. What they'll be replaced with is yet to be determined. But bad stuff is coming for them!

True, to varying degrees. I had to hold my nose when punching the ticket. I still didn't trust him, but felt a ticket with Sarah on it could mean some common sense rubbing off, or at least being heard.

But when he lost, he showed his true colors, as well as the sentiment of the GOP as a whole.

He showed his true colors before the election, when he suspended his campaign to return to DC and vote for the bailout. That was his downfall. He was actually a couple points ahead in the polls. He may not have squeaked it out even then, but he'd have fared better than he did.

The GOP may be beginning to understand what they did to themselves, but have no idea how to remedy the situation. Some stories (such as the GOP oath that's being bandied about) indicate some individuals have a clue, but as a whole, it's still sailing into a crosswind. The answers are pretty easy for us in the 'hinterland', but drinking too much of the beltway Kool Aid has hindered their reasoning. They still don't know how big a can of Whoopa$$ is waiting for them...

Been good conversing with you. I have to take off and get some sleep. I'm not a young 'un any more...
