They demanded unconditional loyalty and you gave it to them. I agree they weren't really conservatives, but they surely were Republicans. I still can't believe their ability to attract bizarre combinations of constituencies: Christians and the NRA (did somebody say lions laying down with lambs?); immigrant bashers and business; small government pseudo-libertarians and post-the ten-commandments-in-the-courthouse and mandate-intelligent-design-in-schools government intervention zealots. Those guys weren't idiots. They were in it to win it, and they did. They mortgaged the GOP future for a little while though, but hey, that's how the free market works sometimes.

Believe me, just because I think you're crazy doesn't make you crazy. The fact you voted for a bunch of hype and no substance makes you the crazy ones. The adult? The one who called the cop doing his job in Boston stupid? The one who bowed to a Saudi king? The one who looked absolutely giddy when he got a book from Hugo Chavez? His "vision" will make those two children in your profile pic in debt for their entire lifetime. I agree that I was in the minority in November 2008. However, you will soon take your place back as the minority party just as soon as your party figures out that Hope and Change equals Poverty and Dissolution. As for the traitors comment, if you felt that way, you made yourself feel guilty. Instead of treating us like traitors for daring to question the Democrats, we're being labeled racists, Nazis with mob mentalities. Enjoy your four years on Pennsylvania Ave. And your brief stint on Capitol Hill. You’re kidding aren’t you?

We voted for the only adult out there. The one who took us seriously. The one with the vision we wanted to see implemented. Face it, you're a tiny minority now. Mind if we treat you the same as you treated Democrats during 2002-2006? As traitors to the Republic for not supporting our president during a time of war.

The base does not win elections. It might be 20% of the vote on a good day. The rest of the party and the independents win the elections. The fact that a sitting President with a decent economy had to sweat out election night while running against dead wood like John Kerry is a disaster, not a success. Bashing gays, calling people baby killer and whatever divisive thing to "bring out the base" <b>permanently</b> loses voters. Not only people in those groups, but people who are friends and relatives of people in those groups are lost. The Bush and Rove idiots cast the Republican Party adrift from its winning message of smaller government and less involvement in our individual lives into one that was large and intrusive, but large and intrusive for so called "conservative values". You are not a conservative, if you do not support limited government. LIMH,
