The Republicans will NOT win if they move towards the Center and abandon the so-called Religious Right. The Party needs to be the same party it was in the 1980's and 1990's.

I'd argue that that's what just happened.

The one fear I have is that some Republicans will look at this election and figure they better go liberal in order to survive. That will hurt the GOP in the short run, but help us tremendously in the long run as these "scared bunny" scumbags are weeded out.

I completely disagree. The GOP lost for a combination of reasons-allowing the preachy RR to dictate the agenda was most certainly one.

The party needs to return to their first love...Ronald Reagan.

Embracing the Reagan policies will save us. Social conservatism, hawkishly protecting the country against looming threats and fiscal responsibility.

Let's return to the vision the Gipper had. Let's once again make America that "shining city on a hill."

Amen brother!!!! George Bush and not Jon Carry nor Algore is in office right now because of the Religious Right. That's why this party better wake up in '08 and NOT nominate Rudy. I AM the Religious Right, but unlike most of my "brothers and sisters" I understand how politics work and could vote for Rudy just to keep Hillary out. They would not. They would just sit out. Hillary is going to run from the "center" and the sheep will buy it. She has the far left in her pocket and about 1/2 of the middle. Rudy may have fiscal conservatives and the other 1/2 of the middle, but with out the social conservatives, he loses. For me, I honestly believe you might as well have elected Satan if Hillary wins, and that's what you will get without the Religious Right vote. Not to mention Bush is about to hand over the Hispanic vote to the Dims.

We need a die-hard social/fiscal conservative. some people might think that Romney could do it, but I guarantee that Evangelicals will NEVER vote in droves for a Mormon. These are the true facts of the matter. We need Newt at the helm of the RNC and someone like Barbour/Steele for POTUS/VP.

Exactly!
