Well as for someone who resides pretty clearly on the left (by today's standards) I'll say this. There is no excuse for the lies and deception of Obama and the Democrats. That is why they will never again get my vote. As for the alternative, please apply the same logic to the conservative party and quit voting for the liars in that fold. If anything, Republican leaders have betrayed conservatism more than Democrats have betrayed liberalism.
The Republicans are on probation...that is no big secret. The Democrats are out...that too is no secret...
The problem is as far as Conservatism goes, is to root out Idiots as McCain, Lindsay Grahamnesty, and other Repub
ican poseurs whom claim the Conservative mantle on one hand while agreeing with the troublemakers (Statist Democrats) on the other.
And thus why the Republicans are on probation...and a fight is ensuing to get RID of the black sheep in the Republican party that act as what they are supposedly trying to fight.
Principles...Repub
ican principles waiver and are easily co-opted. True Conservative principles don't.
Right now the Republicans are in the fight of their lives to find a SPINE.
