if the republicans have decided to ignore THAT base

They will...and you are probably right about 2008.

We will continue to bleed out, and likely lose the WH.

I don't see any sanity in the party until 2012, and it will likely have a different face.

Unfortunately, this revelation seems to be written in invisible ink, because the right wing of our base cannot see it. If they had, we would not have lost last week.

The truth is, we have some differing view within the party, but it takes the entire party to win. Conservatives did a nice job of driving the moderates into a state of rage, and they did not let up. Some evangelicals were poisoned by the media, and without any overriding issues, some did not show up.

Swing voter's perceptions of republican stupidity were continuously reinforced by internal party squabbles, and we lost the independents, or at least enough of them to matter when we could not afford to lose a single one.

WE need everyone, and as soon as you guys figure that out, get back to me. I'll be around the party, just as I have for over thirty five years.

Just keep saying it over and over again..."we need everyone to win. Without everyone we lose...Winning is not just important, it is everything, and sometimes you need to hold your tongue until after the election, no matter how important you think the issue or principle is...... You cannot do anything from a minority position but bitch....Losing sucks, so lets do it better next time, or we will lose again.

At the current rate we'll all be saying hello to President Clinton in 2008 and this country will never be the same thereafter.

What I don't understand is why our so-called leaders are trying to hasten our demise. I almost think they WANT Hillary to win.
