Whether you personally see it happening or not, it could happen. And in the meantime, as I said before, you will be rooting against America and praying something bad happens to our nation. Otherwise your strategy will fail.

ABSOLUTELY NOT !! If you think I would for ONE SECOND.. pray that something bad happens to our nation.. you obviously have NOT read my resume' -- I forgive you :) --- PLEASE -- Go back to the top of this thread and RE-read ALL FOUR points... and if you still don't get it.... we can debate it further....

Let's look at it from the other angle. If McCain wins the White House then either he will at least rise to a level that is acceptable to the conservative base (in which case no harm no foul) or you will have 4 years to mobilize an effort to unseat him in 2012. If he does as badly as you think he will then that would likely be a lot more probable than taking on Clinton/Obama after 4 years of satisfying their base.

NEVER GONNA HAPPEN.. the media will spin a "close election" to mean that conservatives WANTED McCain... and we THE SHEEPLE --- Who obey the every commandment of the Liberal Media spin masters.... The GOP will forever produce RINO's

If you really want to look to 2012 as your next chance to shift the Republican party to better match your views you would have better luck against McCain than either of the Democrats.

NEVER GONNA HAPPEN...look what the GOP did to Duncan Hunter... CLEARLY the best/most qualified candidate... and the GOP rejected him on "name recognition"... what a bunch of wimps... WAKE UP CONSERVATIVE AMERICA !!!

I don't care what you claim on your 'resume'. And your 4 points don't even begin to address how your strategy doesn't hinge upon a disastrous Democratic presidency. Which it does. Therefore I stand by my statement that you are certainly rooting against the welfare of our nation by purposely campaigning to put a Democrat in the White House with the intention of them doing damage to America so you can ride in on your conservative horse and save us from their destruction. The first part of your plan will likely succeed - you will deliver us to the hands of the liberals. The second part, saving us after 4 years of liberal pain, will not work, because both Clinton and Obama are smart. They will not screw up, and just because you and I will not agree with the direction they take the country does not mean they won't be satisfying their base. So unless there is a sweeping catastrophe during their term either one will be a popular president, and will easily win again in 2012. And their VP will ride the coattails in 2016.

So don't tell me you aren't counting on America suffering damage under a Democrat president. Your strategy shouts it to the world.

Guess what - YOU are not the center of the Republican base. The sooner you come to grips with that the sooner you can start focusing your energy on persuading the conservative voters to switch to your views and less on demanding they support candidates that you like over ones they like. Until then, well, like it or not McCain IS who the Republican base want.

Face it, almost no one knows who Duncan Hunter is. And this may be a surprise to you, but of Republicans that have heard of him, not all agree with him! The platform he stands on is as unpalatable to the center of the Republican base as McCain's is to you. As I said before, if you want the base to change who they want as their candidate you got to change the base, not the candidate.
