I see, here comes the cheering section for a Dem Victory.
For shame!
It has to be some kind of mental block. There's no other reason I can think of that makes sense.
I would suggest that you and many others in this forum, need to recognize the difference between blind loyalty to a Political Party versus loyalty to whomever best represents the principals of conservatism and will best defend the Constitution and the Republic....
As a conservative -- I could more easily vote for a Democrat like Zell Miller than a "Republican" like Spector, McCain or Lott, etc, etc....
The Republican party has done MUCH more to leave me, and my core issues behind -- that I have done to leave the party... I'll vote for the man -- not the party..
If that results in the "party" losing -- then the party had better address the problem...
