Come up with a powerhouse candidate and quit blaming others.
Why are you a member of Free Republic when you do not support conservative causes?
Liars make me puke.
Don't be surprised by the mud-wrestling style of posters on this thread. Accusations fly...insults too.
I am for Rudy for one reason. I think he will kick some islamic butt.
I think America agrees. Hang around, with luck, things will get wild.
BTW...jump right in a speak your mind (I know you will anyway).
I'm not really blaming anyone. But I think we all should be fully aware that the mainstream GOP is distancing itself from Conservatives.
As far as viable (e.g., winnable) Conservative candidates go, those that have established national name recognition are extremely rare, with the exception of Gingrich, of course. The only people who would support Gingrich are staunch Conservatives---are there enough of us to even win the primary? I doubt it.
Conservatives are going to have a very tough fight if they wish to influence this election.
