More calls for the GOP to move away from conservatives. Why would people vote for a GOP moving toward the left, when the Democrats are already there?

I have a better idea - let’s rebrand the current GOP with a new name more reflective of its form of leadership, like the “Wimpy Centrist Party.”

Then assign the extant Republican Party title to a new party that actually acts and means like the real thing.

This reminds me of when AMF bought Harley Davidson back in the 1970s. Remember that? Remember what "AMF" stood for? "Adios MF!" :-) It's rather the same with the GOP. AMF to them too!

How about "The Right Party" (anything else is wrong), with a bald eagle as its mascot?

Okay... no sale...

The Austrian has done tremendous damage to the GOP.

The honorable thing for him to do would be to change party affiliation over to Democrat.

Arnie needs to admit he is really a Democrat and switch parties. The GOP needs to commit to conservative principles and boot the leftists out.

Instead of rebranding, why not try improving product quality? How about not shoveling a pile of wild spending, caveins to Democrats, and illegal alien amnesty into a box and calling it Republicanism?

The number one single problem with the GOP has been it’s utter lack of any spine/cojones whatsoever.

McCain and Ahnold just ain't that great. Neither is leading anywhere I want to go.

"More calls for the GOP to move away from conservatives."

Mission accomplished. How much further away can they get without dictating to us from across the Atlantic?

"Why would people vote for a GOP moving toward the left, when the Democrats are already there?"

Personally, I don't know ... but you might ask many of the good folks around here that intend to vote for anybody with an (R) following their name. They aren't hard to find.

The GOP (as a party) has already rejected 90% of what conservatism stands for, Now Arnold wants them to stomp out the remaining 10% in an attempt to impress the left into voting GOP.

Conservatives have been kicked in the nuts so many times by the GOP, one more time won’t make it hurt much more.

If anyone can root out the last 10% of conservatism left in the GOP, McCain can. His choice of running mate will be the ideal way to make us conservatives pay by “reaching across the aisle” for a VP pick.

LOL! What a crock of an article.

Apparently, the author has missed the hundreds of conservatives blasting the NRCC's Tom Cole:

Anybody who quotes Davis (my Congresscritter) on how Conservative the Republican has to be is smoking bad sh|t and they should cut it out before DEA is sent to pick them up.
