Yeah well GOP and Conservatives should be like the Apostles. When Paul first approached them and said he was one them, he was met with a lot of skepticism because Paul(who used to be Saul) persecuted Christians all over the Judea and Rome. Paul had to prove himself to be a truly changed man.
The same thing should be applied Democrats/Liberals that are suddenly on the Right side of the political fence. Just changing political party to punish your elected officials is the not a honest reason to do so.
Also voting for the other party to punish your party is kind of dumb. The best thing to do is find better qualified people in your party and get them to run in order to get rid of the current screw-up.
