I am astounded by the attacks on this guy's position. I do not agree completely with him, for example I support the patriot act but he is pretty much dead on with the rest.

It appears there is a large group of Republicans who are not the least bit conservative, just Republicans.

Note this guy is not supporting the Dems, just wanting the Republicans to do at least a little of what they are supposed to stand for.

Thank you!

Can't speak for anyone else, but you're exactly right. I'm not a conservative.

This is a ch__ch. What's missing?

I see pragmatism, not party loyalty. Pragmatism is what allows politics to proceed. Although I'm certain that my political views are 100% correct, I'm just as certain that I can't find more than 5% of the population that will agree with me on every point. Thus I must be pragmatic and form alliances. I must also prioritize and think long term.

Let's try an analogy. I'm hungry for steak. The Republicans are offering Big Macs, the Dems are offering grub worms. I can work with the Republicans, eat my Big Mac, and try to get steak on the menu in the future, OR I can attack the Republicans and refuse to help them until I get my steak. The latter, however, will likely result in not only no steak, but no Big Mac. I hope you like grub worm.

The Republicans are going to do what needs to be done, to win elections, that what this comes down to. If that means moving away from a Conservative base as they have been doing, in order to gain more ground in the middle, that's what they will do.

I'm not defending them, I don't like it one bit, but very few have the guts to risk defeat by taking a Conservative stance these days.

Anyone who thinks that sending back his RNC card and a snotty reply to a directmail company hired to generate fundraising, is too stupid to be a Republican. If no money is in the reply envelope...it's discarded. No one reads his stupid rant.
