They need us more than they know...if we’re not there who else are they going to blame for the abject failure of their party? I loved how they told us to leave and not let the door hit us in the ass last year before the election and somehow we were the bad guys for doing as they said on election day.
Too true. The numbers games has always been 40% R 40% D and the other 20% ‘other’. Let’s not even get into the NIMBY thinking (IE: ‘SS is MINE since I *paid* into it’, so much for the Constitutional basis *rolls eyes*).
There is also the irony of their own hypocrisy: Conservatives ‘holding their noses’ for the lesser of two evils = capitulating their morals/beliefs/etc. for the Party; not very ‘conservative’ IMHO.
