Republicans are totally stupid.
They are trying to gain the “Big Tent” while losing their base.
Trying to buy the votes of Hispanics, blacks and Homosexuals by kissing their a$$es while they are losing the real vote.
They have their heads up their butts.

Yep. Sure is hard to build a house without a foundation. The problem is that the Republican-E are slaves of the media. They are puppets on a string believing the crapola the media puts out on a daily basis that anyone, everyone who does not accept a leftist/socialist/statist agenda is a right wing freak. And so, the Republican-E cuts its anchor line believing that it is better off adrift. Morons.

Heres an analogy to work with. Take a small box and fill it with some rocks. Then add some rice, filling it to the top. Now take all the same stuff, but in a different order. Put in the rice first, then add the rocks. What youll find is that if you put in the big stuff first, the small stuff will fit around it. But if you put in the small stuff first, the big stuff wont have room. The republican tent is the box. The Big issues are the socon issues, to be put in first. The little issues are things that can be accommodated around the bigger stuff. A candidate who tries to focus on the smaller issues first and leave out the bigger issues has no way of getting all of us into the tent. He splits the party. The candidate who gets the big stuff right and as much of the little stuff that will fit, he can fit more into the tent. Were often amazed at how much rice can keep fitting in. Folks such as Rudy or Romney flunk some of the big issues, and on some of the little issues it looks to me like anyone elses rice would do just as well. All that remains for us to agree on is which are the bedrock principles and which are not. Why would there be so much invective aimed at rudy or romney from the right? Because there are some bedrock principles that he is leaving out. Bad move. I see rudybot and romneybot postings all the time saying that they would vote for Hunter or Palin, and I see socon postings that say they would not vote for rudy or romney. Thats a BIG indicator of a few bedrock principles that are being left outside the tent in order to let in some rice.

It is very clear that the GOPe and most Rinos have a visceral disdain for all things Conservative.
It takes time for Conservatives to realize that they must move to a new second party.
We need to outflank the likes of Rove and the Bushes and seriously start the process.
Those who say we need to take back the GOP are deluding themselves -- with the open primaries, control of top positions and such, it will never happen.
As soon as millions of Conservatives move to a new second party, the GOP will quickly fade away.
If this evil immigration bill passes, then the second party will be born upon the bills signing.
Couldn't agree more. If they wanted to in-gratify themselves to voters, here's a large constituency that would appreciate some action.
