I, and I believe most, are more than willing to forgive mistakes. But we are not willing to let everything we have worked for be trashed by his continuous incompetence as a Majority Leader, either.
He simply needs to hand the Senate reins over to someone competent, like Santorum or Nickles, move to the back bench, or a cushy chairmanship, and I believe you will quickly see the GOP rank and file close ranks with him in front and behind.
At that time, we can all go on the attack against the hypocritical RATS in one united front.
