McCain proves you can win as a Republican without them, the Republican party will move left and the conservatives will be unwelcome in either party

Yes indeed. Conservatives have been marginalized in the Republican party. At least in this coming election. We have been relagated to the back of the bus. It is clear that McCain is winning among Republican primary voters by a clear margine, just as Shwartznegger has moved completely left in California.

Well, are you suggesting ONE BIG PARTY?
You sound like a democrat to me.

The Republican party is (or has been ) a conservative party.

You marginalize the base, you are self destructing.
PERIOD
