Like many, today I feel abandoned by those who are supposed to be my representation and support structure. My family, the GOP, has completely rejected my viewpoints. By, once again, not supporting more traditional (Tea Party, if you would like) candidates like Ted Cuccinelli, they have abandoned us completely. No, this is not the first time, and certainly won't be the last. I, like so many others, now seek a home; somewhere I can be loved and respected and given nourishment to continue life's daily grind.
It hurts many Conservatives to have their family broken up. After all, the Conservative movement involves more than just politics, it involves our every day lives. Generally speaking, we live Conservative lives; we go to church, we save our money, we give to private charity, we spend time with friends and family, we respect others privacy, we work hard at our jobs, we help our children with their homework, we volunteer our free time to charity and children's activities, we are not rude or boisterous about our beliefs because we believe people have the right to believe what they want. Our family values have always kept us strong; voting the party line to support for the good of the party, and embracing the shortcoming we saw in order to keep Conservative values alive in today's society. People like George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney did not represent us very well. Sure, parts of their platforms had some relevance to us, but it was only enough for us to plug our noses and vote. Due to this, and other recent happenings, we now feel like we have no support system.
