“Lets continue to get the word out and expose these JOHNNY, MIKE, MITT, RUDY (and some would say FRED) COME LATELY’S.”

I have to question how we got to this point? How did the Republican party manage to sink to this level with so many RINOs? WTH did all the Conservatives go?

KOOLAIDE ANYONE?

One word....COMPROMISE....and now after years of it, it's taken its toll and we're the losers.

I know, it really sucks.

It is just BEGGING for a Third Party Conservative/Independent Mobilization right after the RINO gets his coronation--if not sooner.

We need that leader to start getting read now and step forward and help get us out of this mess.

The Media picks the candidates on both sides my FRiend.

The GOP leadership thinks that the only way to win is to become more and more moderate (or as I like to call it, moving more to the left). They will gladly give up the conservative voter base in order to pick up more lefties/moderates.

Remember "Compassionate Conservatism" crap? Code words for moderate or left-leaning (the two are becoming synonymous).

Some of us are fighting back with our votes. President Bush's successor, Rick Perry, a former Democrat-turned-Republican-turned Democrat, nearly lost in his last election (he likes to brag about how he never loses, but 60% of Texans saw fit to vote for somebody else).

The way I see it - I haven't left the GOP, the GOP has left me - I'm still the same Conservative I was in the '70s, with many of the same beliefs, and I've long since reached a point where I've decided that the GOP has my loyalty if, and only if, they run conservative candidates. I will only vote for conservative candidates. That means if it comes down to Rudy vs Hillary, rather than vote for a liberal like Rudy, I'll vote third party or not vote at all.
