the conservative base has been simmering for years and now is at a boiling point.
The RNC/GOP leadership has ignored the base for too long and now, hopefully, pay the price.
Look at the way the PARTY embraced Crist in Florida...to the last minute they supported him(some claim they still do).
I have come to the conclusion that the thing that's wrong with the Party IS the Party. A elite upper crust has run it for so long they have come think of it as THEIR party and their attitude is that we ‘little people’ should be thankful they agree to let us participate in some manner.
I would like to think those days are gone. We let them lead, pretty much unfettered, and it's quite clear now where they've taken us. I, for one, don't like it where they've taken me. I am making a U-turn as quickly as I can and will beat feet out of here, back to the world of true conservatives who worship small government, personal freedom and minimal governmental interference.
