I couldn't agree more! Will never forget Keyes visit to Oklahoma and his trashing of the President in the primary. His I will say "I Told You So" in November when Bush loses is permanently etched in my memory among other nasty things he had to say about then Governor Bush here in OK. Big mistake, this is Bush Country!
He changed my opinion of him alright -- from being someone I respected to someone I detested! His approach was confrontational, in your face, and arrogant all wrapped up together in his radio interview on 740 out of Tulsa and with the rest of his visit. Then he had the audacity to say two weeks before the general election that he supported Pres Bush. A little late if you ask me!
These people calling names are not Republican IMHO! Saying Arnold and Cruz are alike was a dead giveaway to the ones going around saying there is no difference between Republicans and DemocRATs! They can declare themselves Republican all they like, but this lifelong Republican doesn't believe a word of what they type. We were in the minority in the Congress and elsewhere too long to threaten to stay home and not vote if our candidate isn't chosen. That does not happen if you really are a Republican.
Consort said it best when he referred to these folks as the Clinton Conservatives who wanted to teach Republicans a lesson because Pres Bush went back on his promise of "No New Taxes" -- tells me they were DemocRATs all along because no one would have voted for Clinton that had been around Republican politics IMO! Still see that same mantra about Pres GWH Bush on here this week from the McClintock supporters. Then in 1994 when the Republicans did the "Contract with America" all these former Clinton conservatives jumped on board the bandwagon for that election. In 1996, they went back to the Clinton camp to vote since Dole was defeated big time. In 2000, they stayed home for the most part! But they sure want to tell the Republican Party how to operate. They can take a hike IMO -- what have we lost -- people that don't vote if the Republican doesn't meet their standards? We cannot count on them anyways which is most likely one of the reasons today's Republican Party has an outreach going to attract voters from the other groups.
Agree with you they are for the most part Patsies and Keyesters are the ones calling us RINOs and Arnold a variety of names!
