I'm extremely unhappy with the direction the Republican party is taking. I know from my perspective - it's because it is moving away from conservative principles. As long as they do this, they will not win again.
It's too complicated to go into here but I believe the American people are moving away from conservative principles and listening to the siren's call of nanny government. A plethora of special interest groups all aligned with the Democratic Party are lined up for the latest handout; an American populace conditioned daily to the "crisis" in health care and prescription drugs that only a universal, government run program can cure; a country willing to turn control of foreign policy over to a party whose only platform is appeasement of our enemies and distain for our military.
We are on the edge of a precipice and one good push in 2008 will send us over.
