If that means we can win support while sticking to our principles then why not? There is no contradiction between expanding a party and keeping core principles. This country is expanding. If we are shrinking we’re through.

I’m tired of moderates Norman.

Try a “real” conservative approach and draw out more stay at home righties...yes, that means more white Christians to the voting booth by default I reckon

No way in the next few years that the Democrat demographics (latin-black-jewish-gay) are gonna all jump to GOP if we go left

and then what....we become Scoop Jackson Democrats...hell, we’re that already

if the GOP are to go Whig, better now than later

Tell us how the party remains pro-life and reaches out to pro-"choicers"?

And, weren't you one of the geniuses that touted McCain here? We've tried a RINO at the top of the ticket and it didn't work. Republicans tried Arnold Schwarzenegger in California and it has been a disaster. Republicans tried Steele's buddy Christie Todd Whitman and a Republican hasn't been elected governor since.
