It's ok though, because the Republicans did stupid stuff too

Which is the entire premise of this OP.

I'm still regularly dumbfounded by otherwise intelligent people getting so emotionally invested in one party or the other

As am I. Do I lean hard conservative? Absolutely. But that doesn't invest me into the R party with blind loyalty. Plenty has happened under Bush and the current "leadership", that pisses me off and wants a whole hell of a lot of them gone, including the 2 Senators for our state who will likely be 2 of the most powerful when the R's take the Senate this midterm. They've done enough for me to despise their politics and same old game playing that I will vote against them in the primary. I know it's for naught, though.

Someone give me a little hope

Sadly, I don't believe there is any left to be had, in a legitimate way anymore. And I'm serious with that statement. I truly believe this country has seen it's best days.
