re: #93 KGxvi

Maybe it’s because I grew up in a Republican household, and was a RINO from the age of 18 through my 20s (if not a bit longer because I was too lazy to change my registration), but I always felt like they had a different vision but were ultimately patriotic. I think that changed sometime in the last decade, but started during the Bush Administration when they first had control of Congress and the Presidency for the first time in living memory. Power became an end unto itself for too many of them.

Gingrich. I think the rot goes back at least to there.
