I'm conservative but I realize that the country changes with the times. I'm pragamatic about the 21st century US population.
The two parties should be trying to move to the center to capture as much of the voting public as they can. Right now, the GOP is doing a better job of moving to the center as 0bama and the left are trying to move the country to the left. The GOP leadership who is managing the evolution of the party knows what they are doing. I expect that the GOP will win this November's elections because 0bama and the left scare the hell out of the "straights". We need to go with the flow on this one and try to get as much as we can out of it.
Oh, that's funny. The GOP 'leadership' left the GOP a tattered, soul-less shell by the 2008 elections. It was conservative Tea Partiers who made the 2010 election successes possible. But there are always pinheaded twerps like you who break out the RINO pom-poms every four years to try and convince us that the GOP-E has a clue on how to win, let alone govern.
Last time the GOP moved to the "center," we got an ass kicking in 2006 and 2008. George W Bush on fiscal policy.
