If the republican party is annihilated in the November elections what are your political plans?
Stay with the party?
Break-away party?
Powerful truths ... Bless You!
“If”? LOL! Vote for conservatives, what else?
Facts not in evidence. I've voted Republican since I arrived at voting age. I'm going to be 65 this election. Where they're at politically within the GOP is not something that has developed this election cycle. It's been developing for years, decades. And yes, I've been a part of that because I have voted party line over those years. I've not demanded good conservative representatives, but voted for the 'least evil' because I've not wanted democrats elected. Well, living in Illinois, I can tell you that got me nowhere most of the time. And it will get me nowhere this election year.
So, this year I'm going to vote my principles. And since no one running represents those principles I'll not be voting for President. Period.
Wanna bet?
The Democrats seem to move even more to the left every election cycle, after losing in the previous elections. Algore was left wing, yes, but then Hanoi john Kerry was much more left wing than Algore was, and Obamination is far and away the most extreme left wing candidate this country has ever seen. It seems the more the Democratic Party left wing candidates lose in Presidential elections, the more left wing the Democratic party goes.
No candidate anywhere near as left wing as Obama has even come close to winning a presidential elections in this country. Obama's candidacy will be no different.
Yes, I do wanna bet on that... Plenty of Democrats are hacked off about Hillary losing and reject BO’s extremism. They WILL take the Democrat party back from the moveon.org extremists if BO loses.

See “The Hillary Rants”
The Democrat party is split and a BO loss would completely discredit the leftists who currently run the party.
We'd be stuck with socialized medicine forever, and it would be decades before we could get rid of Obama's bad court choices.
Impossible scenario as Obama will necessarily get crushed.
I lived in Illinois 20-15 years ago.
I fully understand that RINO-ism has hurt the GOP brand there as elsewhere. I also know that when Lynn Martin ran against Paul Simon in 1990, she was a pro-choice moderate.
Sauerberg is a huge step up from that, decidedly to the right of her stands:

He has a good 10-point plan on health care:

This is quite a welcome contrast to pro-amnesty Durbin.
Now, I rad some other stuff that shows he has flaws and there is some conservative griping.
Here’s how a liberal expressed it - they THANK YOU for this attitude:
“If the conservative republicans with rather have Durbin back in office then God bless them their startegy of keeping the most liberal canidate in office because the more moderate/conservative one wont support their every idea.”
Obviously, the repair in the cycle has to start in the primaries.
when you say:
“I’ve not demanded good conservative representatives”
... have you not participated in primaries, or failed to stop RINOs from getting nominated?
letting Durbin, Obama and others win will certainly
do nothing to encourage conservative polities... so the correction is in the primaries not the general election.
The change in the courses of nation comes from what is in the hearts and minds of it's people. Leadership is simply a mirror of the societies evil or good.
If people wish to live under evil then by all means vote for evil. You have two choices Evil or Lesser of Two Evils. Choose your poison you won't be disappointed.
The positive change will come from others who choose the other path. Vote what you believe in and the persons who are worthy. I believe it is GOD and not the DNC or RNC who ultimately presides over the affairs of man and nations. As such I will be very careful with my vote. If two evils are the only choice I must choose neither. If a third choice is offered which it has I will go the third choice and obey conscience acting in faith.
I don't see the GOP winning or loosing as any major event.
I hope Jim FR will also fight the isolationist, anti war Bob “ACLU” Barr, L Ron Paul Third Party folks.
Since Obama shares the same views, better they join him
than their attempt to divide and destroy the Republican Party.
A Conservative Duncan Hunter supporter who will vote for McCain in Nov rather than see the Marxist Obama win.
Maybe, maybe not. We KNOW they will put Obama's in place.
AND, if we ARE stuck with socialized medicine who's fault is it.
It's the fault of those who voted for Obama (as well as Obama himself and the Congress critters who vote for it).
I believe it is OUR fault.
Depends on what you mean by 'our'. It won't be my fault. I won't be voting for Obama.
Help me out, what conservative candidates are currently running under the Republican party banner now? (I did not realize there were any.)
I have every intention of voting this November. I will vote for conservative candidates running in my district in Illinois. I will not, however, cast a vote for President.
The worst nominee the Democrats have made ever, a leftist with a racist pastor and a terrorist friend, and you cant vote to stop him ...

Get over it.
“And if McCain wins you think the Democratic House and Senate will pass his nominees? Yeah right.” Yes, same as when Clarence Thomas got through a Dem senate in 1990.
” AND, if we ARE stuck with socialized medicine”
McCain opposes new mandates and Obama’s socialized healthcare plans.
” who’s fault is it.” - those who dont vote to stop Obama will suffer the consequences of his victory.
People say that’s not ‘good enough’. They are like a horse that needs a good whipping to go instead of a gentle nudge. they insist on 4 years under Obama to get the suffering to sink in good and hard. Never mind that conservative values will be lost for good by a regime of the Left. Oh well.
Get over what? The impending Obama presidency? We wont be over it until 2013 at the earliest!
You are handing the country over to these folks ...
“Obama bundler Jodie Evans, who co-founded the anti-American group Code Pink, said Osama bin Laden had ‘valid arguments’ for the 9/11 attacks, gushed over Venezualan dictator Hugo Chavez and bragged about Code Pink’s efforts to undermine the war in Iraq in a wide-ranging interview with radio host Paul A. Ibbetson.
Evans co-hosted Sen. Barack Obama’s first Hollywood fundraiser in February 2007 and is listed on the Obama website as having bundled up to $100,000 for Obama’s presidential campaign.
Evans also personally donated the maximum legal amount, $2300, to the Obama campaign—as has her unemployed student son.
Just weeks before she co-hosted the Hollywood fundraiser for Obama, Evans traveled to Cuba as a guest of the Castro regime where she protested against America.”

“The positive change will come from others who choose the other path. Vote what you believe in and the persons who are worthy.”
McCain is more worthy of the Presidency than Obama. Obviously.
“I believe it is GOD and not the DNC or RNC who ultimately presides over the affairs of man and nations. “
God gave us reason. If we use itwisely, we prosper, if not, we suffer.
“As such I will be very careful with my vote. If two evils are the only choice I must choose neither.” - Not at all.
ALl those who talk down about the Lesser of Two Evil choice ... what, pray tell, is so great and awesome about the Greater of Two Evils?!?
Either McCain or Obama will be President. by choosing neither, you are declaring that it makes no difference who of those 2 wins. That is not reasoned.
“I don’t see the GOP winning or loosing as any major event.”
The Democrats just passed the largest tax increase in our history. About $800 billion just from letting Bush’s tax cut expire and not renewing them fully. And will make it happen in 2009. Your vision is limited, there is a big difference and much at stake.
