For me, this one sentence tell us why the Republicans are in a funk. They have become me-too Democrats. Of course when given a choice between pretend liberals and the real deal, Americans will again vote for the Democrats - unless the GOP gets back to the Ronald Reagan brand of conservatism.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Exactly why I won't vote for Giuliani or Romney. If I'm going to lose my guns, I'd rather be mad at the DemocRATS over it.
Correct!
Whatever the value of these specific programs, this isn't the way to capture the imagination of an American public trying to decide between Hillary or Obama just because it would be "cool" to "finally" elect a black or a woman.
It bears repeating, Conservatism is a movement, NOT a political party. If you want conservative candidates to come out of the GOP, then conservatives will have to control the GOP. As it is now the GOP appears to be run by weathervanes in washington DC rather than the conservatives in the movement.
No Amnesty!

A winning conservative platform for 2008? by Jim Robinson

I wonder who is to blame for the current Republican “funk”.
We’re Baby Boomers, and we haven’t seen severe consequences against our all-important selves for our behaviors, yet.
They are in a funk because they abandoned their core beliefs (if the country-clubber Republicans ever had any). You don't ignore wasteful govenment spending, even promote it, and then in an instant say you are a thrifty government party.
I think we got compassionate conservatism with a heaping dose of open borders and co-opting of the democrats agenda all sandbagged safe and secure behind Osama’s mayhem.
What is a RINO? A spineless GOP’er that drinks with Ted Kennedy and hopes the Washington Post never puts their name in print.
this is easy...
Privatize social security and medicare
Repeal the 16th ammendment and pass the Fairtax
Appoint constitutional judges
oh yeah.. they already had their oportunity..and i think they wound up...BANNING INTERNET GAMBLING!!!!
I’m for Reaganism — minus Anthony Kennedy, Sandra Day O’Connor, Jim Baker, and quite a few others too.
WHy vote?... Multi millions of proto democrats Voting as illegals AND legals from accross the border, from many countrys will ensure democrats winning.. 2008 will be the election stolen by voter fraud and voter malaise(republican).
Federal republican officials could care less about voter fraud I mean massive voter fraud.. On the other hand republicans NOT VOTING EN'MASS will make a statement. A statement thats never been made before..
I wonder if many are considering seriously, civil war?.. For reasons far beyond all the jobs going to India and China.. And America being looted like a blind cowboy alone watching the cattle..
thanks for posting this.
Easy. Bush to announce the surge worked, Iraq is standing up and troops are coming home.
This article is another attempt to demoralize the GOP into not voting in 2008, or dividing us so that her Heinous can sweep into power.
Be very afraid.
