"Republican Party Falling Apart"

I will be voting for either Tom or Duncan. Whom ever comes out ahead in the early Jan 2008 voting.

Tancredo is my guy, but when my primary rolls around on SUPER DUPER TUESDAY, if Tancredo is out, I'll go with Hunter.

[true_blue_texican]

If Tom Tancredo, Ron Paul or Duncan Hunter does not get the GOP nomination, then vote third party.

Uh, no!

[Mr. K]

i’M WITH YOU... I WILL SIT OUT another ELECTION IF MY SELECTION IS RINO’S -VS- DEMOCRAPS.

Bush's foreign policy is not conservative. It is Wilsonian nation building.

Yep. Truer words were never spoken on this thread.

BTW: Don't forget how the populists and immigrants became heavy influences on the Dems in the second half of the 19th century, and that in New York from the Civil War on, the GOP WAS the conservative party.

It sickens me how the Southrons parrot the old lies about the Dems being "conservative." Not in any sense of the word. Jefferson was a Jacobin hypocrite, whose greatest achievement in life was a real estate deal. I love the Declaration, but in terms of political thought, he can't hold a candle to Hamilton, Madison, and Jay.

[true_blue_texican]

Already there.

Voting Democrat, eh?

[WhiteGuy]

No

Bush's foreign policy is not conservative. It is Wilsonian nation building

On that we can agree. Although we'll agree to disagree on the other bit, lol

"Tom Tancredo, Ron Paul or Duncan Hunter "

Any of the above is fine with me. I'll vote for the one with the most Mo (momentum).

[Chi-townChief]

" ... it is because of the neocon war machine in the iddle East that we are hated."

This guy is really sucking kool-aid, as they say.

If you think that quote from Tancredo deserves tinfoil, you have a gross misunderstanding of the history of Western Civilization and current events in the modern world.

Right now America is facing exactly the kind of problems that brought about the end of the Roman Empire: the glorification of perversion; illegal immigration; barbarians who want to destroy us; growth in government; excessive taxation; and a loss of Christian faith.

America is the last beach - one of the greatest thinkers of our time, Umberto Eco, has demonstrated that clearly.

Western Civilization may regroup and return if America falls to the perverts, secularists and Islamo-barbarians, but it may not.

[napscoordinator]

That is fair, but hopefully we won’t be put in that position and everyone will be happy with the final nominee. Thanks for those reminders. lol. That is quite a list that some may need refreshers.

[true_blue_texican]

If you vote third party, you’re voting Democrat.

[SittinYonder]

Any of the above is fine with me. I'll vote for the one with the most Mo (momentum).

I continue to believe that Paul is mistaken about the Islamofascists and how to deal with them, and that's why I choose Tancredo and Hunter. If Paul were somehow to be the nominee ... we could do a lot worse than a president who believes in the Constitution.

"If we really want to end terrorism in the U.S., then we should completely disengage from the Middle East. We should (1) completely withdraw from the Middle East, (2) end foreign aid to all Middle Eastern countries, (3) deport all Muslims from the West, and (4) end all immigration from the third world."

What an idiot! let's just go and lay in a fetal position and the world will leave us alone....lalalalalalalalala....I don't hear you!

[BurbankKarl]

You’re a xenophone...Juan Williams told me so!

[Lancey Howard]

Hmm. No mention of oil by the author.

[WhiteGuy]

If you vote third party, you’re voting Democrat.

Impossible. and irrelevant.

Don’t repeat talking points, think for yourself.

[GOP_prez_2008]

Iso doesn’t equal war. Iso didn’t cause wwii. Why is protectionism a problem? People who blame protectionism for war are the same people who want amnesty for cheap immigrant workers. US competitiveness has essentially been off-shored. The dollar is purposely being devalued - welcome to third world America. We need a candidate who will rollback NAFTA and bring back American jobs instead of building infrastructure in Muslim countries who don’t even want it and blow it up.

[SittinYonder]

He left out Fred Thomposon or even Newt Gingirch who engineered the Contract with America.

Newt has given in to Algore's "man-made" global warming.

Fred has yet to prove his conservative credentials, IMO.

But his isolationism is a bit extreme.

I don't endorse the writer, and agree with you about the isolationism. However, I think some of his points illustrate the problems the Republicans face right now.

"The Republican Party is falling apart," said one insider to me recently. "The GOP has become the party of neoliberal corporate globalism, not the party of conservatism," said another.

I'm going to print out and shred this article. Then I'm going to use it to fertilize my yard.
