"Let's get a message and redefine our party in a way that people will want to vote for us, and then our candidate will probably do fine," From said. "A candidate who eliminates the culture gap, eliminates the security gap [on national defense issues], is willing to compete all over this country and has an effective agenda for reform will do fine, no matter where he or she is from."

You know, I think there's reason to take heart from this kind of talk. Think about how long the Dems have been pulling the entire mainstream to the Left. Take homosexuality as an example: not so long ago, it was considered immoral by virtually everyone in the entire country. Today, as a result of the Dims, Republicans have had to soften their stance on it considerably, or risk being viewed as hatemongers. And it's gone to such an extreme, that in some parts of the country, it's almost considered "cool" to be gay (look at all the shows on TV for verification). The Dems pulled everyone to the left.

So now the Dims are realizing that they have to soften their stances toward conservative values. Even if that means they just "talk the talk" and don't believe any of it, it still has a profound effect on the mainstream. As an obvious example, Dems will have to stop associating religion with stupidity -- and thus, their supporters will become more tolerant of it, as will the average voter towards the center, and so on.

Think how much trashing Dems have done of conservative culture over recent years. You better believe that has an impact on how the mainstream thinks.

So I say, "bravo!" to Bush and all Republicans. It's about time someone started pulling the mainstream of this country to the RIGHT, for a change.

The DUmmies are willing to try to look religious but they aren't willing to actually embrace our culture. I call it Americanism. They are still being influenced by Europe. They are trying to pull us that way. True Americans are patriotic and a bit rough around the edges and tough as nails but the most decent people in the world. Its sad that they are trying so hard to change something that is dang near perfect.
