Then, I made what has been proven to be a futile attempt at promoting discussion by asking, "how do you guys think this will effect the public image of the Republicans in the eyes of Independents? What's the strategy behind making the announcement now with barely 3 weeks left in the year as opposed to right after, or even before the elections?"

Unfortunately (as is typical), most people in here are incapable of *discussing* a topic and just want to bitch and complain while repeating the same statements they do in every single thread here.
