It’s the only excitement I’ve found since Hunter has dropped out, that’s for sure. LOL

“McCain is the beat-Hillary candidate.”

I thougt Guliani was the only candidate that could beat Hillary. No, wait, during the Iowa caucuses, we were told that any of the Republican front runners could beat Hillary.
Now we are hearing that only McCain can beat Hillary.

I sure wish they would make up their minds.

“This shift to the left is only temporary. McCain’s candidacy will provide safe-haven for lefties who can’t stand Hillary.”

McCain has been moving to the right since running for President this time around. He has become more and more liberal over the years. I don’t see this as temporary, or as a shift to the left.

“No need for a new party. The RNC will be conservative again in 2010, midterm.”

The RNC has also been moving to the left. Do you have any evidence that the RNC will move back to the right?

Yeah, it’s depressing to watch all those who dissed Duncan Hunter because he wasn’t viable. Now they are reduced to chasing Romney to try to take out McCain. Fear of Hillary, fear of Rudy, and now fear of McCain has turned Republicans into the party of fear. I am embarrassed for them.

FALCON promises to be a party of principle. I like that.

“Sorry, I don’t feel like throwing out the baby with the bath water.

And I think you are making a huge mistake.

There are lots of candidates all over the country that couldn’t make a go of it without the backing of the GOP.”

I agree with you on this. While I am very disappointed and sometimes angry at the GOP leadership, I would rather work on fixing the problems than jumping ship. The GOP still has many good conservatives in the party that could not win election in any other party. I don’t want to lose them or their seats by presuming this ship is going down.

It will take more than a bandaid or 2, but we must first try to fix the GOP, not simply abandon it.

"Let’s straighten out the republican party. A good business mind in Romney will do just fine."

Those two sentences don't agree with one another, IMHO. Guys like Romney are what is going wrong with the republican party.

Pissant what scares me more than the demise of the Republican party is that I believe that The United States of America is just about a decade from complete collapse

It won’t take a decade. It will begin shortly after Hillary is sworn in in 2009.

What opposition? Hell, the GOP is helping them! Just so long as they get their "free trade" and low-cost Mexican serfs, the GOP will do anything they want.

You are ignorant of true evil.

Form a formidable conservative organization that will have some clout and demand respect.

I went through a stack of mail today, 8-10" high. All from those that are/were "formidable conservative" groups and individuals. Most have prostituted themselves this election cycle and have now been rendered irrelevant. If their clout and respect can be bought, they are worthless.

You’re delusional. You are just an open-borders quisling, shilling for McCain.

I daresay it is quite the other way around. The most eminent danger is liberals capturing both sides of the aisle. The difference is that we can see our democrat opponents outside the gates, as it were. The more insidious danger is the one amidst our ranks.

I agree that the Republican party has been infiltrated beyond hope. So much for the Big Tent Theory, Log Cabin Republicans, etc. I don’t want to belong to a party that has a recognized hyphenated group with a homosexual agenda.

I'm afraid RINOs are no longer just in name. They now define the party.

The thing is, I’m not about to jump from the frying pan into the fire.

John McCain has the momentum going in to Super Tuesday. His nomination is assured.

Need I remind you that you are posting on a Conservative forum?

he has held office for only four years and knows what makes good business sense since he has run them successfully. He is trully a washington outsider just as Reagan was when he became president.

If the United States was a business, your point would be well taken.
