Christine Todd Whitman is free to join the Rat party any time she chooses. She effectively governed as a Rat, anyway.

Hey Christy, Social Conservative did not give us GWB with 30% approval ratings....

“The Republican Party can either stand for smaller government, lower taxes and freer people, or it can rot in hell.”

[The_Victor]

The Republican Party had been taken hostage by "social fundamentalists," the people who base their votes on such social issues as abortion, gay rights and stem cell research. Unless the GOP freed itself from their grip, we argued, it would so alienate itself from the broad center of the American electorate that it would become increasingly marginalized and find itself out of power.

John McCain was the "social moderate" candidate.

If the GOP has been “taken over” by “social fundamentalists”, then chances are its because they vastly outnumber the hedonists, making it their party, not yours Christine.

It's My Party Too

Yes, Christine. That's the problem, in a nutshell.

[Glenn]

Such an “I Told You So” piece.

Maybe we should just change the name of the GOP to Democrat. We can be the “stealth” party. That will fool them.

[alicewonders]

Christine Todd Whitman is a PARTY POOPER! Please stop pooping in our party's nest - the stench has become unbearable!!!

RE : “alienate itself from the broad center of the American electorate”

Thats great. The media got us to drive out anyone that believes in capitalism, so now they need us to drive out the remaining Christians.

The media picked McCain, NOT ME! I never could stand the guy. Now we get these lectures.

Not a single moderate Republican is left in office in New England. If centrism wins elections, the GOP should have a lot of moderates in office today. In fact, its just the opposite. The party keeps shedding moderates with every election cycle.

Yeah, I saw this POS in a print copy of the Post this morning.

Don’t waste your time. It’s not worth reading.

DO remember the names Whitman and Bostock, though. No more votes or support for EITHER of them. EVER.

[DManA]

Pure slight of hand:

The Republican Party had been taken hostage by "social fundamentalists," the people who base their votes on such social issues as abortion, gay rights and stem cell research.

There is one issue that binds people who tend to be Republican - restrain of government power. Everything else is a distraction. Todd and these guys are BIG GOVERNMENT enablers. THEY are killing the party.

[dirtboy]

Unless the Republican Party ends its self-imposed captivity to social fundamentalists, it will spend a long time in the political wilderness.

Hmmm ... as I recall, it was Reagan, running on a platform that appealed to social conservatives, that pulled the GOP OUT of the wilderness and made it into a majority party. Prior to Reagan, East Coast pubbies in the mold of Whitman were perfectly content for the GOP to be a perpetual minority party. This hag has her history all wrong (surprise).

Clearly the problem was that we were TOO conservative.

CTW couldn’t run suppertime at Sarah Palin’s house.

[NavVet]

How did those “Social Conservative” initiatives do on the ballot in CA and FL. Seems to me, even in the Blue States the majority of people don’t share Whitman’s opinion.

[80sReaganite]

I wish either these Rino’s would leave our party or we would have an alternative to the new “Lib-GOP”. I don't care to associate with these people.

Did hey not get that the reason McCain got anywhere near the 57,000,000 votes was because of Palin? If McCain had put someone like Lieberman or Todd-Whitman on the ticket we would have been lucky to get 30 million vote.

Are they that stupid?

I'm looking into the American Conservative Party (http://americanconservativeparty.org/)

If it comes to it, I will likely be able to say, “I did not leave the Republican party the Republican party left me.”

Given this year's election, a better title would have been:

"It's My Party and I'll Cry If I Want To".

If the Dems had run a candidate that was pro-life, for smaller government, supported our right to bear arms, understood our nation was founded by godly men that were Christians, and accept, we are a Christian nation, I would have voted for a Democrat.
