Anyway, don't get too down. Look what the D.C. court just did concerning RTBA. Fifteen years ago we would have thought that was just a pipe dream.
Dubya did listen on judges, which has been my big thing.
Nobody is shoving Romney down our throats....he is the one the left is very afraid of.
Many so called conservatives have no fight left in them, so fat have they become on their "successes", all the while gorging themselves on the excesses a party led astray has "garnered" for them the last 12 years.
Thanks for posting your thoughts and this thread.
Boy that stuff is really getting old. If conservatives want to stand on principle what's it to you. Not everyone feels comfy making a deal with the devil.
...and your point is that this makes you feel better?
>>>As far as I can tell, the long-term effect of electing RINOs is to ensure that the Republicans of the future will be more leftist than the Democrats of today.

Gay Republicans seek recognition (Rudy Mentioned)
Excerpt:
These days, it seems as if it is good politics for conservatives to address the annual convention of gay Republicans.
"Keep pushing the Republican Party because you're pushing it in the right direction," New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani told the Log Cabin Republican convention over the weekend.
I think some would say the party appeases the base while attempting to coo the so-called swing voters in the middle.
It's humor. Relax.
Amen brother.
Run Fred, run!
We have been sold out by the GOP. The GOP is a business, not an ideal.
John McCain has demonstrated he does not believe in the First Amendment. Rudy Giuliani has demonstrated that he believes gun control policies in the U.S. should be controlled by a locality--New York City to be precise--and that he doesn't mind using non-legislative means to achieve that. Of the "top three", Mitt Romney's the only one I haven't yet found to be totally unacceptable though I don't like his remarks about the Schiavo case. Perhaps he hasn't followed it closely enough to really understand it, and it's not quite as big a fault as John McCain's and Rudy Giuliani's, so I haven't totally disqualified him for it.
But the GOP is meeting me halfway. They're giving me all of what I don't want and none of what I do want. LOL
Do you realize that is precisely the GOP's game? Just throw up the fear of the dems, and they can get away with whatever they want. More entitlements? But the Dems are worse! More earmarks? But the Dems are worse! More federal involvement in education? But the dems are worse!(Meanwhile, by they way, the DNC does the same thing to the leftist base). It is one big scam that the two parties play on us.
I refuse to play from now on. I am willing to take a chance that 4 years of the liberals running things, followed by a real Republican in power, is better than 20 years of the current game.
BTTT
Looks like Domania is being slow again tonight devolve!! Hope they get themselves fixed soon!!
OK, it's all open here in the reply box!
The 'gang's all here', lol.
Your right, were are just in the "Frog Boiling" state of things the way it's going now. Might as well bite the bullet.
>Even if only 1/10th of this base stayed home, we'd lose.<
I wouldn't stay home, but I wouldn't vote for anyone who promotes abortion, the homosexual agenda, gun control, and open borders. Let's see.... Why that leaves only Duncan Hunter, so I would write in HIS name, should it not appear on my ballot. If a conservative doesn't win the nomination, we ALL lose.
