We can hope, but we need a leader.

Agreed. We have to find this person ourselves - the current GOP leadership will just give us more big government, country club Republicans for Presidential candidates, GOP leadership positions, etc., because that's all they know.

We need to find a true Conservative who is outside of the GOP leadership right now, and who has no ties to either of the Bush's administrations. I foresee the GOP leadership trying to regurgitate members from both administrations.

You know who I like, and I maybe wrong about her, since I had no knowledge of her until recently - Sarah Palin from Alaska. Somebody mentioned she had no experience - I told them by the time she's put in a second term as Governor of Alaska, she would have had more political experience that George W. Bush, and at different levels of government, as well as doing it without the family ties Bush had.

I'm impressed by her taking on entrenched Republicans and Democrats and blowing the whistle on them. A lot of people who came across that kind of corruption would have backed off and she didn't. She's also, in my mind, well outside of the mainstream GOP (it helps that she's in Alaska, lol).

2006 is going to be the start of the Conservative base taking back control of the GOP. We can hope, but we need a leader.

We need more than that we need concrete positions on the messy issues...not just platitudes. Sure we agree that lower taxes are important and reduced Gov't spending...What about Iraq & the War on Terror? Social Security? Health care costs? This mythic LEADER must vocalize positions on these issues that make people want to vote for conservatives - not simply against the socialistic practices of the Democrats.
