Andrew Sullivan posted a bit of tet-a-tet with K-Lo about conservatives and the GOP. I happen to agree with Sullivan, that conservatives traded in their cred the moment they started holding party loyalty as being more important than political philosophy (Democrats have, in the past, been slammed for not being cohesive as a party. But having a group of people who refuse to compromise their political values is more important than having party unity, particularly when the Democrats can actually evolve as a party.
More to the point: K-Lo uses as an example: "Remember Rush blasting McCain during the primaries?" This completely misses the point. The prime example of what the GOP has become isn't that Rush blasted McCain during the primary. It is that Rush came back to McCain when it was clear McCain was the GOP nominee, despite McCain not changing any of his positions.
