And both have less than 5% combined support from the base of the Republican Party as the primaries have shown.

Precious Bush nearly lost by what margin? Not once but twice? The GOP can not afford to tell Conservatives and Independents to shut up and vote any more. I live in Fred’s home state. I saw no Fred signs but a plenty of Ron Paul ones. The GOP underestimated Conservative in 1992, 1996, 2000, and 2004 in the POTUS elections. Doing so this time is certain loss of the Oval Office not matter what Rush, Vannity, or whoever says as such as they are very much out of touch with how angry people are getting.

But back to the primaries. Believe it or not there are quite a few Conservative Independents quite now actually as well as Conservative DEMs who have helped give the GOP landslides. If the GOP insist on being the second Socialist Democratic Party well then it can expect on continuing to hold second place as well.

LOL... so follow a person who attracts no more 5% of the Republican votes, alienate 95% of Republicans and 99.9% of independents, this is the way to go. In 2004, 10% of FReepers did not vote for President Bush according to FR polls if these morons represent the so called ultra conservatives then let them be bitter and defeated because no one needs them, the Republicans can certainly win without these kooks and in fact they will lose much more if they follow them.
