I agree about the 2 party system, however I think the Rats are too far gone. I think what you're seeing is the Republicans become the Dems of old, and we Conservatives being forced out to become our own entity. I just heard Hannity on the Rick & Bubba show say he had re-registered in NY as a "Conservative Party" member. Evidently they offer that option in NY, and I wish it was offered here in NC. I feel like the Republicans can't back away from us quick enough, and it's evidenced from the spending in Washington, to our Light Rail project here in Charlotte. I think our Republican leaders spend too much time reading the old media, and not enough time paying attention to the new. My apologies to Congressman Billy Bob.

Then why seat conservatives on the bench? Why cut taxes? Why push pro-life legislation?

No argument about the road the Republican Party has taken. It sickens me. But that doesn't disprove my contention. Let me express it this way:

The Republicans become the Big Government party as the Democrats become the leftist/socialist party. Sound about right? Well, it's still true that being leftist/socialist will only garner allegiance from a comparatively small percentage of the voting public. That means the Democrats are in danger of becoming marginalized.

The same can be said of a 'Conservative' party. If that were to happen, they too could be marginalized by the comparatively lower percentage of allegiance they'd enjoy. That's why I am, and will continue to be, a supporter of our 2 party system. While we may not always like the way 'our' party votes, or leans, there is strength in numbers. It is then up to us to insure our party maintains the strengths we believe in.

I'm sorry, but I do not see the Republican Party as being anywhere near marginalized as the Democrats are in danger of becoming. In my view there's still hope. And with that hope, there's always room for giving the Democrats one last chance before the roof caves in.

ONLY after the destruction of the Party of Treason will it be acceptable to split the GOP. Until that day comes any such actions will be destructive to America. Unfortunately we are far from that day since half the electorate is ready to vote RAT even when the RAT candidate is a bona fide traitor.
