>>>Oh wow.I guess we will see if you can win without us conservatives.Good luck with that.

The Republicans normally have to do without the crackpot fringe of the conservative wing regardless. In 1992 they went for Perot, and gave us 8 years of Clinton. In 2000 they went for Buchanan, and came within 537 votes of electing Al Gore. And this year they will again go their merry way, probably for Cindy Sheehan’s favorite Republican.

Business as usual for the rule or ruin crowd. If the “self-elected pure” conservatives are the real Republicans though, you’d think they could have nominated Hunter, Thompson, or whoever.

If he is forced to choose between the 90% (conservatives included) who are “rinos” plus the independents and Obama-hating Hillarites who are up for grabs, vs the Ron Paul clavens, I think I know who McCain will seek. That’s not luck. That’s arithmetic.

You dislike conservatives, fine. But at least get your facts straight. Next to nobody voted for Buchanan in 2000. Gore was hurt far more by Ralph Nader. The people in Florida who couldn't punch the right hole made for a somewhat suspicious scenario that probably involved voter fraud. There was no mass conservative movement toward Buchanan in 2000.

As for 1992, your “crackpot conservative’ theory is so much hokum. Read any book on the election and it will tell you that the Christian right was all that stayed with Bush one. Perot got a whole lot of the libertarian wing conservatives, people that were basically independents. Perot was for abortion. Social conservatives wouldn't touch him.

Your party is going into the dumper. It stands for nothing. If you want to be a Democrat, then join them and give us our party back. I despise Rino’s. You despise whatever you choose to call us. So we're even. But I don't have to vote for this latest drek you and your like have foisted on us, a professional betrayer and scoundrel like John McCain. I won't vote for him. You can insult me until the moon turns blue.

I never failed to vote for a Bush on any general election ballot. Four for four. Now go back to your Mother Goose rhymes and bring us some more fun tales about past elections.
