The long decline of the Bush administration has been horrible for the Republican Party label. We should have never lost the Congressional race last night.

“We” as in the RNC should never have endorsed and propped up Snarlin Arlen Specter either.

If the GOP had supported K Harris, we may well have had her instead of Nelson and Martinez.

And Casey should not have sent a fine conservative Senator like Rick Santorum packing.
No support for Conservatives is the new GOP mantra. - and they can live with it.
No more money or support from me for any National organization - just individual Conservatives.

Oh please. The GOP lost it after 94, not 2000. in 94 they had everything, and they blinked. They never learned how to govern as the majority party. They knuckled under to the dems when they didn’t have to.

So you think Gore would’ve been better, huh?

GOP Left Holds Right Hostage

Running to the middle — whether by actually moving left or by sticking to mushy, vague platitudes — fails because it ignores simple math. In elections where less than one-half (and often less than one-third) of the people vote, simply turning out all your own people will win time and again. What’s more, the “middle” largely is irrelevant. Most people who vote are, by definition, interested, and therefore have an opinion; thus, running to the undecided middle means trying to convince people who probably won’t vote, while turning off the people who would elect you, if you gave them a reason to do so.
