I agree we go ultraconservative in the primaries. But in the general, this ultraconservative will go “anyone but Hillary”. Look what happened in 2006 thanks to a lot of folks that thought they were doing the right thing. Believe me I understand the position of trying to get rid of these darn rinos in the house and senate but I refuse to turn my country over to a democrat president, especially during these precarious times.

What happened in 2006 is that Republicans betrayed conservatives and suffered the consequences. Unfortunately, the didn't learn their lesson. Apparently, they are going to have lose in 2008 to realize they must return to the principles of Reagan to be a majority party. So be it.

And, one could argue things have been better with gridlock and Republicans losing Congress. Suddenly, there is a lot less spending and Republicans and Bush are suddenly pushing for less spending. Funding for the Iraq war and even abstinence in public schools have continued. So, I see no negative results from the 2006 election except for the fact the Republicans have yet to learn conservatism wins elections.

Why would you think turning the party over to a liberal Republican like Schwarzenegger (which Giuliani is) would be better than turning over to a Democrat?

It would be worse, guaranteeing eight years without a conservative in the White House and guaranteeing no chance of the GOP regaining Congress.

As proven by Schwarzenegger, the same liberal legislation ends up getting passed when a liberal Republican is in office. In fact, at a national level, it is easier for a liberal Republican than liberal Democrat to pass such legislation.

“especially during these precarious times.”

All times can be precarious who is to say we wont have a bigger problem in 2016? Id like, at that, point to have a conservative in the general election and if we make it a habit to support gun grabbing, constitution stomping, abortion loving rinos now why would 8 years out be any different..

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure..
