>I've never felt the need to be involved like I was this year. The point I've been trying to make all along with you is that the ex-bunch of repubs took everything to extremes. Like never before in history. Nothing hidden, totally out front with it, no holds barred lying, cheating, stealing.

Cunningham in San Diego did little to hide his bribery and I have not heard him apologize at all. As a matter of fact, he blames the reporter who first outted him for his downfall.

I don't disagree with much of what you have said. The Republicans who got defeated were the "blue bloods" the country club Republicans who have no moral compass, IMHO. True conservatives would not be involved in these type shenanigans. I'm hoping it's a wake up call to the party - recruit decent candidates who not only espouse the right ideas, but actually believe in them. Headline - "Honest Politician caught eating Jumbo Shrimp"
