Like Pennsylvanian Mike Fitzgerald, pro-gay, defunded by HRC because of his party affiliation? No, he wasn't shunned by the Republicans, he was shunned by us.
As for Scozzafava, serious analysts of her case focus not on her liberalism but on local politics and NY State's machinery for nominating candidates in either party. She was a machine candidate, and the population for the most part was fighting against the machine. And as a matter of correction, the district hasn't been solidly Republican since the Civil War, unless you're counting to-do in the Sudan as the Civil War.
No, some Republicans "get it," but by continuiously villyfiying them, well, we scare away more than we befriend, and we make friends of those, such as Obama, who come out against same sex marriage during his campaign. Hell, the current HIV-immigration ban lift signed by Obama? It was pushed by that evil Hitler, George W. And while I am no fan of Reagan, after he finally recognized the AIDS crisis in '85 he pushed more funding through congress in three years than our friend Clinton did in eight.
