Whenever I used to think GOP, the first mental imagery that came to mind for me was warmly comfortable visage of Ronald Reagan. For decades. But in the past few years, after seeing the GOP’s backstabbing treatment given Palin and the tea party, coupled with the Party’s constant betrayals on everything from amnesty to family values, that first mental imagery has been replaced by a knife in a human backside.
This is just further perpetuated by the VA race.

I do wish that folks would stop conflating the GOPe (the GOP “establishment” — meaning the folks currently dominating the national party leadership such as the RNC and their supporters) with the GOP itself. There are MANY, MANY true conservative Republicans. There are many conservative Republican leaders at the State & local levels (e.g., the many South Carolina county GOP organizations who are coming out and condemning Little Lindsey Gramnesty and who will be playing a large role in ousting the despicable creature next year). We need to take back control of the Republican party AT ALL LEVELS.
Don’t give up on the Republican Party, that’s EXACTLY what the progressives want us to do. But what we should do is support only true conservative Republicans.
