That's been the GOPe plan for years. They finally lost me, and I'm never coming back.
Beat you by about one year. Soon as I saw the freshman go mute as far as acting anything like an opposition party. That was my last straw. Eff them.
In fact, as a resident of The Peoples Republic of Maryland, where Republicans are virtually extinct in Annapolis, I am going to switch my voter registration to Democrat.
Thinking that will save me someday when I need it.
