Mark Tapscott: Is it time for conservatives to dump the GOP?

Mark Tapscott: Is it time for conservatives to dump the GOP?: "'When one of our people gets elected, sooner or later he [or she] stops being one of our people.'
Being elected to Congress or appointed to a high position in the Executive Branch to serve in a presidential administration can be a heady experience. Especially for Members of Congress, the perks of office can be overwhelmingly beguiling, so after a term or two the first and last thoughts of too many of our representatives begin to be focused on getting re-elected. Playing along with the powers-that-be in D.C. is often seen as the easiest path to re-election."
