The eastwhile members of the Groady Old Party are running far too scared of the Main Stream Media to do anything truly good. So they let themselves get run over by the Liberal Left. Until they grow a pair and do their jobs, they will always remain the 'also rans'........ The various Independants are too focussed on their own minor differences to make a true stand. Until they can get past their minor arguments and come together to 'win the war', they will remain neutered and powerless. Just as the Libs want them.
