Out of the frying pan and into the fire. Good job.
I can remember when the Republican Party wasn't completely worthless. George H W Bush was actually a pretty good guy. I voted for him for president....twice. That was back before the obnoxious religious fanatics took control of the GOP with their hate-filled social policies. Looking back at it, I was probably more fiscally conservative back then.....guess I had to have been.....and probably shouldn't have voted for him against Bill Clinton in 1992....but even today I think he is a pretty decent guy. He made that stupid "read my lips" comment to win the election...but then had the courage to walk away from it to help restore the nation's economy, even though he had to know that he was sacrificing his political future by doing so.
Where are any Republicans like that today?
If I remember correctly, Bush Sr. broke the "read my lips" pledge at the urging of Democrats in the spirit of comprise and working together only to have them completely crucify him as a liar and tax raiser in '92. Don't think Republicans didn't learn an enduring lesson from that. As the old saying goes, you reap what you sow.
Do you have a link for this? He really built a compromise with Democrats into his presidential campaign?
Cantor's own internal polling showed him ahead by 34 points. Ooooooops.
You guys whine about gerrymandering like it's some recent invention.
Canto should run as a 3rd party. Will keep him and Brat out. He can come back in two years and win.
Not sure why, but I've seen it reported in a couple of sources that he can't. Some sort of weird law in VA. He can try a write-in campaign

Romney's internal polling had him winning also. Not sure who Pubs are listening to here.
