republicans are reacting to the script that the progressives/MSM have written for them.

Maybe it's the inherent nature of conservatives versus liberals.

conservatives tend to focus on the individual.
liberals tend to focus on the collective

Liberals don't mind falling in line behind a leader
Conservatives would rather make their own way

If liberals are ants or killer bees
Conservatives are the loan beetles (or whatever other non-communal insect you choose)

It's just going to be harder to get a bunch of GDIs (gosh darn individuals) to agree on a direction than it is a bunch of people who see the collective as the ultimate goal.

Hate to say it, but I'm starting to feel that way about reading the posts on this forum.

I'm so disgusted by both Romney and Gingrich that I am now thinking about Ron Paul.

I can't listen to either one of them anymore....
