I would like to take this oppotunity to annouce my candidacy for any office people can possibly write me in for, in lieu of real conservatives. I’m a libertarian jerk, but I will promise to be a jerk to everyone equally. No, I’m not joking.

21 Putting own personal interests above the country’s.

[eyespysomething]

Yes.

Oh wait...19.

;-)

except how I feel right now is >:(

[oldvike]

George Bush destroyed the conservative movement. He was on the wrong side of every issue you’ve listed with the exception of abortion.

[LibWhacker]

No. 14. The RINO problem subsumes all the others.

[commonguymd]

19 and add the global warming schizophrenia.

[dynachrome]

I hope this leads to the death of “compassionate conservatism”, also. All of the above!

[L98Fiero]

Get some help. Seriously.

[tgslTakoma]

14 through 17, which led to 1 through 13.

Although, 16 should read lack of testicles rather than loss of same.

[fishtank]

They failed on all but #1.

If the Republicans had succeeded on all of the others, America would have forgiven them on the war.

[kcar]

If the Republican party is at war with it’s own base, what happens to it if it succeeds? More importantly, what happens to us?

[Kevmo]

Is this a new way to freep a poll? Only members need apply.

I check “Most of the above”.

[GovernmentIsTheProblem]

19

This would be a great poll question...

[Congressman Billybob]

I agree with Covenantor that it is 19 less 1. However, a majority of Americans view the war as a failure because of the unattacked dishonesty of the MSM. If the early losses against the Germans and Japanese had been published with the same anti-American fervor as the smaller losses now, we would have quit WW II and left Europe to the Germans and the Pacific Rim to the Japanese.

My hopes for a Republican victory (to save the Supreme Court) rest on the fact -- which can be communicated -- that the Pelosi, Reid, Clinton Democrats are worse on all the items of your list, than the Republicans. That's a slim reed, but not nonexistent.

All of the above... except remove #1 and add #3 twice

[showme_the_Glory]

It will be blamed on conservative Christians as the whacko nut jobs.

[Jim Noble]

The GOP in power from 1994-2006 was a coalition, just like the segregationist-socialist-minority coalition which ran the country from 1932-1994.

Like the socialist-segregationist-minority coalition, the members of the GOP coalition can't stand each other.

Unlike Democrats, however, the members of the late GOP coalition are too stupid to pretend.

[Savage Beast]

That’s easy: 2, 5, 6, and 10!

[California Patriot]

It’s too early for this defeatist post.

As a list of the problems we face in ‘08 and must do some hard thinking about ASAP, it’s excellent.

But don’t be predicting inevitable doom. It’s unilateral disarmament, even though your intention is otherwise.

ping for later...if i can stomach it *sigh*
