Okay, I realize that I'm going to get crucified by some for saying this but here goes: This is the worst thing that the conservative movement in America could possibly do!

On November 2nd conservatives made historic gains by helping the Republican party retain and expand their majority. No, the GOP is not a monolithically conservative party, but it is our best chance to see real change in this country - change that will benefit conservatives and the conservative movement. If the GOP fractures because conservatives begin to squabble amongst themselves and defect from the GOP, we can expect a return to the dark days of the 1990's when a plurality of voters elected a liberal administration with the help of Perot supporters. Over the past forty years, the ONLY time that the liberals have been able to elect their candidates was when a third party peeled a significant number of voters away from the GOP. The results have been predictably disasterous.

If you are a conservative and you are unhappy with certain actions on the part of the GOP or the administration, stay within the party and fight for what you believe in! Don't defect to a third party - now is NOT the time!

You may now commence tearing me apart.

No need to tear you apart. Your analysis was spot on.

The problem is that the Republican party is nominating and getting socialist candidates elected. Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the most socialist politicians, in the old European style, that this country has seen. His programs and goals are to force people into high-density smart growth cities, and rid the countryside of humans as part of the implementation of the wildlands project. He is about as far left of the Republican party as a person can get. Yet, you say conservatives must stay in the party that is actively working to demolish our rights to property using smart growth and land conservancies to do it?

That just doesn't make any sense.
