Would you accept a gay agenda/NARAL supporting abortionist gun-grabber as your party's savior against Hillary Clinton even if it means we abandon the pro-life, pro-family, pro-freedom of religion and pro-gun planks from the party's platform? And most likely ends any prayer of ever overturning Roe vs Wade or preventing gay marriage as the law of the land? And eventually leads to permanently ending any and all mention of God or prayer in the public square? And further erodes away the right of the people to keep and bear arms?
Will preachers speaking out against the gay agenda eventually become a hate crime in America? Will it soon become the law of the land that business owners must allow cross-dressing males to wear dresses in the office or face criminal/civil penalties like they do in San Francisco? Will man-boy "love" soon be accepted by the new American liberal society?
Has the anti-God, anti-America, anti-commonsense and decency ACLU, NOW and NARAL organizations defeated conservatism?
Is conservatism dead in the Republican Party?
Is the conservative movement dead in America?
Is God dead to Americans?
Its not dead for me.
Although it looks like a bit of a set back with the elections..but I know what I believe and why...and will vote my conscience.
The support for Duncan Hunter is so conservative that it appears nobody in the country has even bet on him yet...very scary for Conservatives...Bears just scored!!!! Go Bears...
Conservatism is not dead, it just needs someone to fire it up.
Excellent questions. I hope everyone here who has been cheering for RG will just candidly answer YES to every one of them. As for me and my household, we'll sit it out.

Part 2 of Jim Robinson's commentary.
wonder what/if the Dems will do anything now. The Republicans sat on it for years; Dems could take drastic measures to close the border, emphasizing the fact that terrorists could be crossing the border, and thus balance out the widespread belief that conservatives are stronger on defense.
-----
Put me in a straight jacket...i would be so perplexed! I so want the pubs to grow at least some wee nads and take care of this border issue....but if the dems did it...i'd have to at least give them a golf clap...maybe... ;)
I hate to say it,but,
It's dead Jim.
Not entirely.
Is the conservative movement dead in America?
No.
Is God dead to Americans?
Not by any stretch of the imagination.
A handful of liberal athiests have appointed themselves spokesmen for Republicans, Conservatives, and God fearing Americans. But when we step into the voting booths, those self-appointed spokesmen lose their voice. We will vote for the candidates of our own choosing, not the ones chosen for us by the loud-mouthed bullies. They may intimidate the weak, but the rest of us will do what's right in spite of them.
We have to start with the thought that most people are not uber political.
When Republicans start throwing stuff from the looney right in the hateful fashion they are prone to throw it in, people think 'hell no'.
Let me give you an example... I have a guy who comes to my office all the time who is a liberal radio talk show host. He's a generally nice guy...Very kind person.
When some Republicans see me talking to him they are almost insulted. They would rather me get in his face and scream 'you liberal slimeball pig!'...
The fact is, anger isn't an argument for anything. Republicans are good at getting angry and showing it, but then they fall apart.
We get no where as long as we give anyone with that attitude any platform to speak from. We need to marginalize and get that stripe of people out of the limelite.
If "conservatism" is losing, its that crowd thats losing it for us.
NO! I will not accept Rudy Giuliani as my party`s nominee for POTUS in 2008! Period!
Your question remind me of a passage in Whittaker Chamber's book "Witness." Chambers was a US citizen and a communist spy who lect Communism for Christianity. He said, "I knew I was leaving the winning side for the losing side."
Fortunately for us all, he was wrong.
Ronald Reagan postumusly gave him the Medal of Freedom for testifying against Alger Hiss. And in 1989, the wall came tumbling down.
Never give up!
Never give up!
Never give up!
Never give up!
Can't see it. The opportunity for the Dems to acquire (through amnesty) that many millions of new voters (many of whom are already addicted to welfare freebees) far outweighs any desire to attempt to convince us how "tough" they are on defense.
The GOP can only be saved from permanent minority status by forgetting about amnesty, guarding the borders as if our national survival depends on it (which of course it does), repealing the anchor baby laws, and cutting off the welfare goodies.
Not going to happen.
No, no and no!
Start with serious ideas, add seriously electable and elected politicians, mix in serious money and BANG, we have a contender.
