So much stuff and nonsense. It was my fervent hope that upon losing the election, the Bakerites would be swept from power in the Republican party. But the old moderate leadership has been replaced by the new moderate leadership.
SOSDD.
I abandoned the Republican party in midsummer 2007 after 27 years of loyal and active membership. With the leadership that is now in place, the Republicans having made their choices, I will certainly be joining the AIP.
And I will work locally and nationally to bring my friends and network to the AIP's aid... Those friends and that network, by the way, having once been fully Republican, but which does not have a single Republican member anymore.
A house divided cannot stand. The Republicans can go their way without Conservative support. And it is the way of the Whigs.
Name me one third party that has won since the start of the republican party and I might agree with you. The republicans weren’t always right. This isn’t the first time it’s happened. Obama certainly isn’t the first democrat to give the liberals a bad name either. Carter was. The only reason Clinton didn’t look as bad as he was is because of the republican Congress. I have no reason to give up on what the true republicans have done and I’m willing to recognize it and see it through.
You’re also forgetting that it was the people who chose McCain, not the RNC. And it was Paul and Keyes who ran on their own tickets instead of pulling together under one umbrella and scoring a win.
