Where are you going to get the people to achieve a number sufficient to win an election? They’re going to have to come from the Republican party. It’s the same people with a different name. Why don’t we just change the name of the Republican party and make everyone feel happy.

We could start with the million who stayed home and didn't bother to vote in this election. Virginia went blue because disgusted conservatives didn't have a dog in this race. Then we can go after the millions more who held their noses and voted for McCain or who voted for Palin.

The GOP is permanently damaged. I've been a Republican all my adult life and I'm embarrassed to say that now becasue the people we have running this party are grossly incompetent and completely obsessed with their own perks and power. They're happy being relegate3d to minority status because they get to enjoy their perks and their power without the responsibility of governing as a majority. As far as I'm concerned Republican = Failure and I will no longer be associated with them.

This sums up a lot of how I feel. Bush had a Republican Congress, and they all spent our money just as bad or worse than the liberals. Bobby Jindal was right, the GOP has strayed and it's going to be punished for it.

The thing that disappoints me most is that we had some conservative candidates in 2008, but they were ultimately beaten in the primaries, and we ended up with non-conservatives McCain and Palin (sorry folks, until she publicly renounces her support of amnesty and the pro-amnesty comments she made, she's not a conservative). It really makes you wonder about the party, where the money goes.

I've said it many times, I'm still the same Conservative I've always been, and I'm not leaving the party, the party has left me.

I will not be voting straight-ticket GOP come 2010 and 2012. I will only vote for Conservatives from here on out, which means probably a lot of third party candidates for me.
