Republicans expect more of our candidates. So many "conservatives" have backstabbed us from among those who had something in their background that contradicts their narrative. Perhaps, if those running for office don't clean out the closet first, they shouldn't expect the conservative vote.
Amen. Any defeat for the GOPe, and Vitter is certainly part of the GOP Elite, is a win for conservatism.
Representing a party that is considered by most Americans as prudish hypocrites, Vitter certainly held up the standard. He and the GOPe have nothing to blame but themselves.
“...supposed conservatives who sell out for it to have cost Vitter the election.”
You would be surprised at the number of elected Republicans who supported Edwards.
