No one does now - and you already know why. All the verbiage is just defensive flak so you don't have to acknowledge the truth that you've changed in a bad way.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by Sam View PostNo, I'm pretty sure most Republicans will decide it's bad again when convenient. The polls will undoubtedly revert to the mean as public events dictate.

Originally posted by Sam View PostCertainly, there's been some change.
By whom and how far is the question. I feel fairly confident that I'm not excusing behaviors or defending policies today that I wouldn't have a few years ago. I would charitably propose the same can't be said of some others.
