If "conservatives" like you are willing to ensure that Democrats get elected to a majority, then kindly go pester the Democrats for what you want, and leave the Republicans alone.

I voted the straight Republican ticket, and made several contributions to the national party and specific candidates in the last election cycle.

My vote and contributions were based on the "lesser of two evils" principle. Like it or not, the GOP has not appealed to economic conservatives nor to those who want more vigorous action to protect our borders and defeat radical Islam. Factors in American conservatism include limited government and protection of national sovereignty. The rapid expansion of Federal spending in the last six years, application of the Democrat "limited war" approach that failed in Korea and Vietnam to Iraq, and minimal effort to control the influx of illegal aliens clearly are not conservative. On a national basis, the Republican Party has been successful when it has advocated conservatism. It fails when RINOs and country clubbers push for moderation.
