The liberal leftists are currently beating us a degree at a time by pushing our party ever so slightly more toward the left so that it becomes more and more evident to true conservatives that regardless of which party's candidate wins, the democrats can privately claim victory while publicly denouncing each GOP victory. The "win at any cost" FReepers are a prime example of those who have fallen into this trap. At this rate, in the not too distant future, conservative-minded citizens will be utterly without a party to represent their interests and beliefs (some would argue that we're close to that stage now).
We must not let this happen! We must stop this blurring of the lines between leftist socialistic-globalist ideology and true American INDEPENDENT conservative ideology. We must make the voters choice as clear and distinctly different as night and day. To do that we must relentlessly communicate those differences and convince the voters that they must choose which political ideology they want to live under.
Taking then your list of conservative issues, I propose that we support a candidate that will communicate this disparity of ideologies and convince them that the conservative way is the only way our nation will continue to remain strong.
CONSERVATIVES
Win the war!
Secure the nation!
Secure the borders!
Stop the illegal aliens! Rebuild the military!
Deal with growing threats!
Cut government!
Cut spending!
Cut taxes!
Allow the free economy to expand!
Return control of states issues to the states!
Defend life, liberty, property and individual rights!
LIBERAL LEFTISM
Appease our enemies and lose.
Leave our nation exposed to threats.
Keep terrorist pathways unobstructed.
Provide illegal alien rights superior to our citizens.
Deconstruct and weaken the military.
Become a U.N. slave nation.
Grow nanny state government.
Expand nanny state spending.
Punitively expand taxation.
Oppressively regulate business.
Central government nannyism.
Lose national identity and citizen independence - assimilate into U.N. global community.
I repeat the charge. We MUST give the voting citizens a CLEAR and DISTINCT choice between two opposing political belief systems. If we lose then the citizens will have spoken and there's nothing else we could have done to change their minds. We will have to deal with the consequences.
BTW, the only candidate I currently see that can fill the conservative shoes we so desperately need, is Duncan Hunter. All others will simply take us further down the path of liberal death by degree. LORD help us and be merciful to us if we lose the election in 2008.
That doesn't mean that we shouldn't work hard to move our country in the direction that we think is best for us and our children. If we can push back against the dark barbarism that threatens us perhaps soon the tide will change (it does happen) and things will get better.
(oh yeah, things'll still be really screwed up).
How many people knew Obama until here lately?
Also have to remind people over and over that Muslims have hit us twice in this country and have said over and over they are going to do it again. Why wait till they kill hundreds of thousands of Americans to secure the border. Too many Americans are forgetful of what happen on 911 or they figure it won't happen where they live.
Thanks for the ping, VR. It's amazing to watch Hunter's candidacy take off.
I like the list. I'd say not necessarily in that order, though.
ABSOLUTELY!!! Been saying this for 2 years.
It is OUR security, let us decide whether to fund the war!
Yes, and the John P Murtha Highway to nowhere in Pennsylvania.
Dear Jim Robinson,
"What say you?"
"12. Defend life, liberty, property and individual rights!"
As long as this includes defense of innocent human life, from conception to natural death, I'm on board.
Although, I think that the defense of human rights, of life, liberty, and property, are the primary functions of government, and thus should be closer to #1 than #12.

Take every penny of forign aid and give to the military
When we go to war for our intrests only,rule one NO rules!!!
Agreed. Look forward to the little less screwed up time! :)
100% agree. Those who feel that only a moderate to left republican can win the general election should switch parties and join the Democrat party. That seems to be their party of choice anyway.
"If everyone is so "fed up" why is the issue the kiss of death to a campaign??"
Keep dreaming.
Thank you Jim! Great points!
FYI
bttt
Step One: IF he becomes the nominee is too late. NOW is the time to let everyone know who DUNCAN HUNTER is so that he IS the nominee.
a political system with no choice is just as bad. I won't hold my nose and vote for a RINO.
Ditto!!!
I'm starting to get tired of hearing this argument.
I became tired of it 2 years ago.
