Megan, I don't want the future you are presenting, I prefer the old no-nonsense conservatism that Barry Goldwater lined out in his 1960 book, "Conscience of a Conservative." I believe in Reaganism. As to the issue of homosexuality, if they believe in conservative principles of low taxes, strong defense and so on, I would love to have them. I am for equal rights when it comes to jobs and being judged for crimes under the law. I cannot condone things like homosexual marriage and so on, but it should be a state issue and if they want to allow such thing, then there is the legislative process that we all use instead of going by judicial fiat. Try changing the laws that way although there will be opposition from us as well, but if you win and we lose, at least the process was followed.

However, Megan, you cannot win by becoming "Democrat-lite," the Republicans will lose by doing that, and if they win, well, what's the use?

I believe in Reagan as well... but I read something intersting yesterday and that is "many, many voters today don't even know who Reagan was or what he stood for and when we older voters keep mentioning him their eyes glaze over. We need a new Reagan and 2010/2012 Reagan-like person who will excite this new generation the way he excited our generation."

It got me to asking: Where is that person, a person who stands for something constructive, is willing to speak out about what he/she stands for and has the charisma to excite voters of all ages to follow along...and is a conservative who believes in God, Country and Constitution...
