Liberals go to the Church of the Stinky Donut Hole...

[Timber Rattler]

that "the Republican Party can afford to marginalize . . . Christian right leaders because evangelical social conservatives . . . are not going to vote Democratic."

That was the calculation they made with Romney and lost badly. Christian evangelicals won't vote for Democrats, but they won't vote for socially liberal Republicans either...they'll just stay home like last time. Same result---Rat win.

[Psalm 73]

I think that people like Cruz and Palin will not let them.
Or the party may just have to split into the RINO Party and the Constitutional Republican Party - I just don't see traditional conservatives with any balls agreeing to "go along to get along".

Socially liberal atheist society are NEVER fiscally conservative. It is ridiculous to de-couple the social from the fiscal. The leftist are TRYING to produce a form of heaven on earth, play God so to speak. And that is a very expensive undertaking.

[central_va]

I meant to say: “Socially liberal atheistic societies are NEVER fiscally conservative.”

Party leaders want “liberal-lite”, conservatives want Reagan. So far, “liberal-lite” has lost two big ones in a row.

Should they dump what forms the foundation of a good, free and moral society?

Only if they want complete disaster and defeat....

[Jack Hydrazine]

I say we should encourage them to go full Left so they can become part of the Dim Party and we can start a new one - the Conservative Independent Party.

No evangelical I know of will vote for a Clinton.

However, plenty of evangelicals I know of have had it up to their back teeth with moderate to liberal Republican candidates and are ready to find, or support, a party which will embrace them. And no, it’s not Democrats.

Around 1978 or so a senior level economic adviser to Margaret Thatcher spoke at my university (Southern Baptist school). He said the ease and willingness with which Americans were retiring their elderly parents to nursing homes at the expense of the state rather than bringing them into their own homes and caring for them there was a moral failing.

My Southern Baptist friends recoiled at the idea as real sin seemed to be wrapped up in drinking, smoking, cussing and illicit sex.

Food for thought???

[GenXteacher]

They appear to be in the process of doing so. And if they do, I just stay home. There is no point in choosing between Democrats and Democrats who have Rs next to their name, contrary to what the GOP-E shills who post here think.

[MasterGunner01]

More correctly, should conservatives dump the GOPee run by elite Beltway RINOs and RINO consultants? One word: YES. These Quislings have sold out Americans to the socialists and Marxists for far too long. Time for a purge.

[trisham]

Yes. I'm sick of this issue. It's not the point. It seems that every five minutes another pundit comes out with this advice, and then we end up with nominees like McCain and Romney, who are the worst imaginable from any perspective. As long as our primary system remains open in any state, we are not going to get the nominees that we want.

We have to fundamentally change the Republican primary process or we will continue to lose.

[Moonman62]

If the GOP could get the economy right, and the size of government right, they wouldn’t have to worry about social issues.

[jwalsh07]

Sure, they should also support amnesty and gun confiscation. This will speed up the dissolution of the United States of America and I can live in a free country again. Probably named Texas.

[right way right]

The GOP is dead to me.
It’s new party time.

[Tailgunner Joe]

Focusing on economic issues is a loser because the majority of Americans want the government to give them free stuff. That’s why focusing on social issues is in fact the only way Republicans will ever win.

[Darren McCarty]

My comment is that I voted for Tim Walberg so he can be Tim Walberg, not Arlen Specter, nor Mike Huckabee for that matter.

[Gene Eric]

Yeah, let’s turn our backs to nascent life, and moralize how the vulva is no different than the anus. Life would be so much easier with blood and crap on our hands.
