Looks like it’s time for Sen. Lott to have the Heritage Foundation audited.
Frankly, I’m 100% conservative. However, the GOP is not listening. They are turning to what they were before Ronald Reagan. Why did they succeed under Reagan as they did? He defined what the core conservative principals were and held the party to them. Why did they succeed under Newt Gingrich and his “Contract with America?” He defined what conservative was and held the party to it.
The GOP had it all, but in their attempt to pander, compromise, appeal to specific voting blocks ..... they will turn into an ambiguous mess, as they were prior to Reagan. You watch, they will put a McCain or Guiliani on their ticket (As they see it "electable" candidate). They will also loose in 2008 because an uninspiring candidate combined with an alienated base, equates to failure. When they fail however, their answer is already known; blame it on Iraq.
