I wonder why the Republican party is doing this?
To which "this" are you referring, pray: allowing conservative voters to righteously lambaste them online, or committing electoral suicide...? ;)
Standing in a circular firing squad is what Republicans excel at.
We really do need a third party to address the death of the GOP and fill in the breach.
Not this year, but we got 4 more to go after this.
Re -election will commence January 21/09.
The RINOS need to go, the message should be vote out the incumbents.
It would really have a chance if half the voters weren’t sucking off the Gov’t teat , in one way or another.
Whot the hell isn’t involved in a “Program/Supplement”
in this country.
That must be “The Rich”!
Those who earn enough to survive....don’t forget to hate everyone else who has more..
SanFranNan will come smack you with her pinky whip!
/Rant off
Thats easy! in one word: Bush! Bush for some reason is labeled a "Conservative". Bush is hated by most of Americans. Republicans seek love more than respect. Ipsofacto, if Bush is hated, and is a "Conservative" (I know he's not, but perception is reality) then all "conservatives" are hated and cannot win in the eyes of the RNC.
Only solution? Run a Republican like a liberal. RNC doesn't want conservatives, but need to make up that gap, so they appeal to moderates and whoever else will be splintered by the Clinton/Obama frakous! Its a naive and flawed strategy, but what choice does the GOP have? McCain was selected. Now their only choice is to:
A) Dump McCain and scrap the entire primary process (impossible to do the same thing the democraps are doing)
B) Embrace McCain, which you have no choice but steer to the left and pray that the base will be so scared of Obama that they will sell out their principles to elect a Democrap with an (R)
Only saving grace would be a 3rd party run on a straight Conservative Party ticket by a Duncan Hunter. But since he's in the party and has a 90% chance of loosing and will have to go back to that party and explain how he split the vote, it aint going to happen!
