I always wonder about that regarding the Republicans who post here.

I don’t expect them to suddenly jump up down and scream “Obama RULZ!!”, but the whole GOP is still in this “Destroy Obama or destroy the country” mindset. I just don’t get why a rational person keeps supporting that party.

I still remember feeling bewildered by Lincoln Chafee’s excuse at the time why he couldn’t leave the party. Something about Abraham Lincoln and being named for him. Thing is the Republican Party at least in my life time has not stood for the principles Lincoln did.
