A.View – you may not have read much of what’s been going on among conservatives (as opposed to the GOP, proper), but many of your sarcastic crits are the same ones we’ve recognized as the cause of what we witnessed last week. We understand perfectly well what’s wrong with the GOP, and we’ve been calling them on it for some time now. To little avail.
IMHO, the problem is that “we” just keep re-electing the same jerkweeds we criticize. Other than Republican seats lost to Democrats last week, how much has Congress changed from the Democrat-Controlled version that received the lowest approval rating in history for any U.S. institution? Not much. This is part of the problem. But it’s not the biggest part.
We can get into a protracted discussion of where your crits point to the right issues with exactly the wrong sentiment, but the overarching fact is that the GOP no longer represents core conservative values. If it did, the Republican candidate would have won in a landslide – just like the last time a far-left candidate ran against an openly, unprepentantly conservative one. That would be 1984.
