"What Is The Alternative?"

A party of Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, and other small government conservatives. I see from the pork vs hurricane relief conversation that there is a voter constituency for what the Republicans used to be.

ROTFL.

Newt Gingrich and Dr. Paul have about as much in common as peanut butter and jelly.

The Republican party of today is not Ronald Reagans party.
To those of you who wish to just give your votes to the party just like African Americans give their votes blindly to the democrats, go ahead. However, don't bash me and millions of other conservatives who MIGHT stay home in the next election. For every conservative vote they lose like mine, they will pick up from others who like big spending, never holding any gov official accountable, leaving the borders open, can't get thru any conservative judges, except for a handful, never holding the Clinton's or the Clintoistas accountable. You have to look no further what RINO's will do to a base than the special election in Ohio several months ago. In a solid Republican district where the son of a current senator was expected to win handily, got his teeth kicked in by the base. The general election saw the thepublician candidate win by a small margin. Thats because the base stayed home. If the trend in the Republican party is to move to the middle, they won't have any trouble replacing my conservative vote with a RINO voter. I will not blindly give my vote away. If they want my vote, they will have to earn it. So far, they have done a poor job earning my vote.
