I have been sitting here for 10 minutes trying to resist getting into this one. But I just have to throw this out there and then that's pretty much it. I guess. If I have any sense at all, I will never look back.

I do not cut nor do I paste. I do not link. But I think. And I have been doing a lot of thinking lately. And I have been watching as the Right and the Left are pretty much clawing each other's eyes out, all across the land.

And I keep thinking. . .What about me? What happened to me? A moderate Republican. A moderate Republican who happens to be a woman. Why didn't anybody care about me?

I feel like John McCain just slapped me right across the face. That is what this feels like to me. Exactly.

An arranged marriage. Arranged for the big fat dowry.

Where did that brave man go?

I know I was toying with him for a time, but I knew all along, somewhere deep in my heart, that if he picked a VP that I could live with, he could get me. I knew he could have. I even wrote a big thing on here one time about how people needed to lay off his age. Now I have no choice but to write him a "Dear John" letter.

When Christine Todd Whitman published It's My Party, Too: The Battle for the Heart of the GOP and the Future of America, I did not read it. I admit. But I like her attitude from what I have heard about her. Hey, maybe he could have picked her.

So I guess I will not bother to read it now. For me, I am afraid it looks like the party's over. And nobody is even noticing that I am gone. Me. Always was a moderate Republican woman. What am I now? Where am I now?

My heart is broken.

Oh, and that really is all I wanted to say. I just had to say it and it seemed to fit under this thread's title perfectly.
