Not a lot to ask for.

I also would add stop making a religion out of diversity and tolerance. Some things are rightfully intolerable....like the taliban at Yale. It's evil that the taliban gets tolerated when the Boy Scouts don't.
The one saving grace about W is that through his judicial appointments Rove v Wade will prolly be overturned and let's face it with 200 million guns in the US and a new SCOTUS that horse left the barn a long time ago.

True, but I think the taleban guy at Yale situation will be self correcting; no one is forced to go to Yale, it's a private institution- thus if losing tens of millions in alumni donations is worth it to them then whatever, but I think they will see the error of their ways.

My dad had a saying (WRT race and economics) "The only color that matters in America is green". The purer the free market system the more irrelevant decisions based on race or gender are- a computer does not care if the programmer is gay, black female or anything else, the only thing that matters is does the program work. In true market economy you can't afford to hire anything but the best, be they white, black male or female.

Many of them just don't know how much they don't know.

Indeed. What they lack through ignorance they make up for with arrogance.

You on the other hand are not getting past the 80's and that why your faction of conservatism has lost and gone no where. You need to deal with the reality.

Reagan was "the 80s" conservatism- it's little wonder you think we should "get past that". The GOP insiders tried to keep Reagan from getting the nomination in '76 and '80- I guess you missed that since Sesame Street was more interesting to you at the time. Well we are "past" the '80s, and the GOP has returned to what it was before Reagan- a "me too" version of the Democrat agenda.

Which federal programs have the Republicans been in favor of eliminating?

In America the only color that matters is Green.

Frankly, we need to be looking at the Ports 'hiring practices' a lot more closely nowadays, and disregard that "green color."

Your theory may not hold up based on some disconcerting facts which are now surfacing:

The Islamist Port of Miami

Please do not take this as a personal slam, but rather as an honest question. Are you employed by the GOP?

"No two ways about it. Bush hid his real self very well during his first campaign. And it came out in spades during his second....the globalist/elitist/"

I voted for Bush both times. I had no other choice and I knew what we were getting. The apple never falls far from the tree........"Read my lips, NO NEW TAXES."

The GOP has lost my support until they bring forth a true Conservative.

Nope. I volunteer for campaigns. I do so to prevent the liberal Democrat agenda from enshrouding my life. I travel to states away from where I live to do so and pay my own plane ticket and hotel and rental car costs.

Winning matters. Losing never, ever has any benefit in a world where incumbency has such power. Most of those advocating defeat on the premise that it will teach the populace or the party a lesson to have to endure the opposition, are themselves opposition activists. Those few that are not are not informed about the power of incumbency.

Do what you can for GOP candidates in vulnerable districts.

limited government are what most real conservatives need to be concerned about

"Real conservatives" as defined by you.

I'm aware of the traditional definition used for the last 60 to 70 years or so, if you are not, just get youself a history book.
