A serious and sympathetic post for any lurking conservatives.

64. Very well put.

Last night, as it became increasingly obvious that President Obama would be re-elected, I was lurking over at FR, Lucianne, Breitbart, RedState, etc. As much as I was (admittedly) tempted to post something to the effect of MOAR TEARS!!! I found myself feeling some genuine sympathy for them; it occurred to me when I could see that quite a few of the posters on these various sites realized they'd been "lied to" as you said.

I suppose it's simply natural human empathy to feel for someone who realizes they've been the mark in a swindle. One thing is for sure; people like Dick Morris, Michael Barone, etc., have completely lost whatever credibility they may have had the Movement Conservatives.

And conservative lurkers, well, what can I say; it's the way the cookie crumbles. C'est la vie.
