Please. We lost because Republicans stopped being worthy of the win. When you have to nominate an extremist like Palin to the ticket for “shoring up the base”, well, it shows how far we’ve drifted.
We’re conservative, but we’ve let people change what conservative really means. We’ve lost because we let it change in the name power with Reagan. Had we been just a little more patient, we’d have gotten power back with a landslide. Because we got greedy and desperate, we sold our souls to extremists and destroyed the party.

Palin was the only reason people voted for McCain.

Please come down from the tree you’ve been living in. Palin is the only reason McCain got as many votes as he did. Moderates like yourself are just gutless.

I’d like to know what, exactly, is “extremist” about Sarah Palin.

You signed up today to say this - When you have to nominate an extremist like Palin to the ticket for “shoring up the base”, well, it shows how far we’ve drifted.
I call foul. Gov. Palin is an extremist, like you're a conservative.

When you have to nominate an extremist like Palin to the ticket for “shoring up the base” Palin is an extremist? Wanting to actually give birth to babies rather than abort them is extremist? F*** off troll. I see you signed up today.

When you have to nominate an extremist like Palin to the ticket for “shoring up the base” Sorry noob, you don't have a clue. But stick around and perhaps you'll see what conservative values are all about (hint: it's not how slick you are like Romney or Biden).

Wrong, Palin energized the base. Tell me what you don’t like about her? And gosh, tell me who John should have picked?

Welcome to FR. Now go back to your slime pit.
Sarah Palin is a conservative; not an “extremist”. We supported her because she IS a conservative. The problem was going with the “lesser of two evils” for the top spot; not picking a conservative to shore up the base.
