If we're so "doomed" and destined to fail, why write long, tedious articles about us? Just ignore us. You won! You control both houses of congress and the presidency. What is it about Governor Sarah Palin that enrages you so? She's back up in Alaska, Lord Obama is about to be installed in the Oval Office, what more do you want?

Hmm... Become Democrats.... isn’t that what we just did with the moderates running the campaign?

Here’s a hint - people don’t go with the imitation. They go with the real thing. Republicans pretending to be Democrats are not going to take votes away from Democrats.

Sarah Palin is destined to give birth to a new movement.

She already has. Obama can go back to Hell, my loyalty is and will remain with Sarah Palin.

I was going to write something similar but you said it so well. Are these libs so feverish in their blind devotion that they are angry that not EVERYONE worships their Messiah?

Obama ran as a blank page and won, and his fans are trying to mop up any resistance before he gets into office, thinking the world will be perfect and all will be in love if only those damn Republicans join in. If not, they'll be blaming us for Obama's failures.

Let's see, a liberal democrat (as opposed to a self-centered Democrat moderate with lefty flirtations) wins the White House for the first time in over thirty years--and it's the OTHER side that's dead?

I agree with you. We might just have won if we hadn’t let the MSM and the Damocrats select our candidate for us...

This one thing I keep hearing over and over just burns me up! The fact that the liberals think we are going to lose again because we are wanting to move further to the right! We are conservatives and want to be further to the right! It is WHO WE ARE!! And Sarah Palin represents our values. What is so hard to understand about that? Why should we move to the center (meaning moving towards liberals)? That’s what some of the RINOs did and it cost them!

Did the libtards ever second guess their two losses on 2000 and 2004 and decide to move closer to the middle? Nope! They moved further to the left with Obama! There wasn’t a lot of analyzing the death of the liberal movement by the MSM and why they lost!

I am tired of the MSM analyzing us and calling us dead. The one thing I know is that when you get conservatives whipped up we can kick some butt. I believe we are angry now but after 4 years of Obama we will be fed up and ready to take charge....without moving to the center.

The only way I’ll ever be a Damnocrat is when I’m six feet under a tombstone and ACORN manages to get my name on the registration rolls.

exacly, dont try to smooth talk us real consevatives, with your long articles, Just tell the truth without PC bias. Then at least a person might read all you wrote.

I can sum it up in 10% of words, what really happened.

But I must digress, back then a boy like me would’ve been put on “meds”. Then I’d be like “whaaa...”

I don’t need a Democrat or a Liberal Republican to tell me how we can win again. Our leaders just have to be Republican Conservatives Again. I’m tired of Democrats running as conservatives to win then voting liberal!

The sad part is, there are people in high places in the RNC and elsewhere in the Republican Party who believe this excrement is right on the money.

Of course, if something isn’t done about electoral fraud and illegal immigration...

Republican thinkers have pondered what went wrong,”

Easy.
We run a pro-amnesty, anti-ANWR, anti-offshore drilling until just before the elections, global warming nonsense supporting guy, who has spent the past 4 years attacking conservatives. Conservatives could hardly bear to vote for the guy.
And oh, we got hit by the financial meltdown in the markets.
Message is clear: Run real conservatives, especially with a hard line Marxist in the White House, and we win.

Funny thing is this is exactly the kind of attitude Michael Medved seems to have. That Republicans need to win at any cost, even if that means moving to the left. He doesn’t get it, and doesn’t get the term Rhino either. He supported one.

This guy is projecting more vile and hatred that the Democrats have been spewing for the last 7 years than he is commenting on conservatives. However, he has a point about the changing nature of the population sliding more towards liberalism. Conservatives have to address this point and its root cause — the university and media — before it can understand why it should win future elections. The author takes for granted that conservatism is the way of the dinosaur and socialism is the progressive practical stance of the next groovy generation. He gloats to think that conservatism is done, that there is nothing worth conserving from Bush and the old farts — Republicans too are done and have to morph into a new party. I think his hatred has clouded his thinking, especially with calling Bush conservative and resorting to labeling Palin as trailer trash. But Conservatives still have to address why the population is veering towards liberalism in general.

I think, since 1994, the Democrats have infiltrated the GOP, especially with the behavior of some RNC people of late. I know as a fact that many local Republican central committees have been taken over by liberals.

A friend of mine suggested a massive movement of Republicans registering to vote as Democrats and completely dissolving the Republican party. (A colossal “Operation Chaos.”)

This would confound things nicely (and scare the $hit out of the fence sitters) and it would also FORCE these a-hole politicians to talk about ISSUES.

Would it work? I don’t know.

It would certainly create a huge problem for the Democrats if they were the only political party on the ballot. It would scare the HELL out of people.

I have always wondered why the Republicans don’t learn to street fight. In some races, why do they even field a candidate? After several elections people will be begging for an alternative AND the media wouldn’t know what to do with themselves if there was a constitutionalist Democrat.

You are so right, there will be a push to remake us over to Democrats and it won’t work either. Also unless something is done about electoral fraud, illegal immigration and obscene amounts of campaign financing, it won’t ever happen. This is some kind of intellectual warning to us dumba$$@$ I guess. It is really not a Republican versus Democrat thing with them anymore. It is an elitist thing where they think they know what is best for us by helping those less fortunate and only allowing NE, Chicago and Hollywood to “rule” us. If you think about it, it is a cultural war where we have to decide if our ancestors were right when they left Europe and founded this country or do we want to expand the EU.

If the true believers win, we may witness a Palin candidacy in 2012 — and a likely electoral landslide that will bury the GOP so deeply it may never dig out.”

Could be correct about the landslide.
Wrong about who will be buried though.
We are not even going to wait for 2012 ti bury the RATS. We will smoke the RATS come 2010, in the House elections.
What we need to do is get a tough conservative like Newt, to sweep away the amnesty lovers that President Bush has put in charge of the Republican Party(something that made me stop all contributions to the Republican Party), and work hard to get real conservatives to take on the RATS in 2010.

See #15...

Why the Republicans even waste time and money running candidates in the SF Bay always amazed me.

Had it been Thompson and Palin this election would have turned out differently.

Remember how the media sabotaged Thompson's campaign with the lies and the smear tactics... Same schemes with Palin. Coincidence? I think not.
