I hope that they remember that the demise of the Whig party was fallout from one single issue.

Now the crap is piling up so fast they need wings to stay above it.

[A CA Guy]

The current crop of gas bags need to bet fired by new conservative talent that needs to be developed at the grass roots level.

John McCain and his buy-in to the ‘global warming’ theory really helps the Pubbies. NOT!

[upsdriver]

Not even attempts to tie Democratic candidates to Barack Obama — unconvincing attempts at that — brought Republicans to the polls for the special elections

Y'all got that? Threatening me with Barack Obama is NOT going to get me to vote for McCain. So don't bother!

[upsdriver]

John Boehner, the House Minority Leader, issued this warning: Our presidential nominee, Senator McCain, is an agent of change; candidates who hope to succeed must show that they’re willing and able to join McCain in a leading movement for reform.

Agent of change? What kind of change? McCain says he supports the tax cuts, yet he votes against the tax cuts. He says he is a conservative yet he disses conservatives at every turn. The only change I can see is he will be a Republican president who governs like a Democrat. The MSM will love him, the moderates will love him, the liberals will use him and we are a people without a party.

I will always remember the George Bushes as the presidents who drove the conservatives from the Republican Party and thus destroyed it as a positive force in America.

It’s almost as if McCain and the GOP are intentionally trying to alienate us conservatives, and give the election to the Dems.

And I’m darn close to writing McCain off.

[sam_paine]

The GOPers have heard the conservatives loud and clear.

They’ve heard that we’re going to stay home, and Johnny McCain is swimming to the last raft floating with the rats.

They know they can’t count on them to step out on a limb, like opposingGW or whatever, so they slither into the shade.

We taught the GOP a lesson. We taught them to shun conservatism.

[pgkdan]

McCain's going to kill us in the fall. He'll get enough support from indies and so called Reagan democrats to win but those folks won't go GOP down ballot. He'll win and the party will lose...so will the country.

After yesterday's speech I'm done with McCain. I won;'t vote for him but I will show up and vote for Thelma Drake and I hope Jim Gilmore. God help us.

[Boagenes]

The Republican Party leaders are arrogant beyond words. It all goes back to the "bridge to nowhere" and the shamnesty debacle. These checked pants, country club, Rockefeller, free trade, open borders, RINOs still don't get it. They don't understand the anger and the fury from the base. They still don't see what has done this to the party.

There needs to be a house cleaning. All Republican leaders must be thrown out. We need to start fresh with guys like the ones who stood by us on the amnesty debacle - DeMint and Coburn were two of them, weren't they?

The party needs to be rid of the RINOS. So long as RINOS control it, they can count on results like what happened in Mississippi. They are facing a disgusted, dispirited, angry base and without them, the party is over.

[Big Horn]

If the Republicans have to run candidates that hate America and want to destroy the constitution to be popular like the rats, then to hell with it. I will go down with my boots on and fight for freedom with my last breath.

[VRWC For Truth]

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

The GOP is insane.

[Texas Eagle]

Now we know how Ronald Reagan felt when he said he didn't leave the RAT Party, the RAT Party left him.

The problem is we don't have anywhere to go.

[Defiant]

I think the GOP is in grave danger of being beaten into oblivion this November. The only reason they have any hope at all is it looks like the stupid Dems are going to nominate Obama. Given the results in recent special elections, and the efforts of McCain to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory (by, for example, joining the global warming crusade) even the nomination of an anti-American black nationalist socialist may not be enough to keep the White House, and it definitely won't matter in Congressional elections.

In 1976, the GOP had Reagan waiting in the wings to pick up the pieces after a disastrous Ford candidacy. I don't see anyone waiting in the wings now, except for the undertakers.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Complete MORONS are running the party now.08 is going to be bad,real bad but I see no other way but to throw these rinos under the bus.They are just begging conservatives to do this.Change? They are going to get it.

[HawaiianGecko]

 Childers is a conservative Democrat and ran to the right of Davis.  Not unlike the crop of new Dems in 2006, with one difference.  The 1st congressional district is highly conservative.

I might note that since 1964, 44 years ago, only one Democrat has won a majority of votes for POTUS, and that putz was thankfully a one term wonder.

[goldstategop]

Those bozos are going to lose big. The GOP needs a wake up call and since it hasn't changed direction, voters will deliver the message in November.

Absolutely nailed it. Great post
