That's pretty much it in a nutshell - the "Republicans" decided to jettison even pretending to be fiscally conservative years ago, and I don't believe religion belongs in politics - so, today's "Republicans" don't leave much left to offer...oh, that and being a Federal Employee also sways things a bit...
