I don't think he is suggesting that we stand down. He is suggesting that we stand up.
I thank what he has said is don't go preaching your conservative ideas and live like a Democrat.
We lost some RINOS and this will prove to be a good thing for the GOP. The thing we need is to rid ourselves of more of them before trying to become a party of power again.
Stay on the moral issues, not just being conservative is going to be enough.
And, changing the subject a little. We are now starting to see who is running in 08. John McCain is starting his bid and he is nothing short of one of the leading RINOS, part of the gang of 14.
If he is is elected as the runner for the 08 presidential bid this will definitely be the one I will sit out. At 63 I have always voted but can't force myself to vote for this man. He has thrown more hissey fits against his own party in the past four years than another RINO.
Please, lets try finding a true consesverative the next time.
