text: You talk as though this were some sports rivalry where your team winning or losing is all that matters.
  
  This is a HUGE problem with the state of politics in the US today.  I don't care if my elected officials are Democrats or Republicans as long as they are good people who care more about their country than about partisan politics or themselves.
  
  But if all you care about is running up the score for your home team I hear a lot of complaints about RINOs.   Are you really winning if you believe the other team has infiltrated yours so deeply that you cannot even do the one thing you've been trying to do for the last 7 years?
  
  If the GOP keeps winning like this they're going to split in two which might help separate the extremist right wing from the more moderate rational right wing.   IMO that would be a great thing for our country.   And who knows?   It might send the Democratic Party the way of the Whigs.   I'm sure you'd like that too.
