You need to get out more; not one Republican I know is sitting this one out.
McCain or Guiliani are the only ones who'd bring them up away from their television sets.
I can see what part of your problem is; your GOP 'friends' are fools; the rest of us aren't.
I can tell how serious you are about your country by the fact that you are about to support a man who won't even be on the ticket. DUH.
You need to talk to more conservatives and not just mindless party groupies. The void between the two is widening rapidly.
