And will FReepers ever realize that being a conservative is VERY different than being a Republican?
I suspect the GOPe would be doing EXACTLY the same things to get the party to vote for every stupid idea Mitt would have had also.
Yet many here talked all about how they were going to hold Mitt’s feet to the fire and make him do the right thing.
I left the plantation. I will not vote for a RINO, liberal, tax-loving, squish, nor be locked into voting for a One Party Plantation candidate.
Just a slight dose of political reality. It was Romney’s defeat and the defeat of several tea party senate candidates, that is leading to all this trouble in the GOP.
Had Romney won, there was a whole conservative agenda on the table. Likewise if we picked up seats in Congress as we were supposed to.
So anyone who didn’t support Romney also is reaping the whirlwind here. Conservatives did not produce a victory, no matter how you cut it.
Having said that, I totally disagree with the abandonment of conservative principles. Boehner appears to be playing pure politics without any guiding values. There is a real country here that deserves better.
