Haven’t the moderates already done enough to destroy the party???
Haven't conservatives already NOT done enough and just let them??? In 10 short years we went from a possible gutting of gov't with conservatives firmly in control to an almost reversal of this because conservatives don't understand the political fight and just do not have the will.
It looks as though this may be changing. It's a huge price, but McCain wouldn't have sparked any change and in fact it would have effectively apathized any conservative momentum.
“Haven’t the moderates already done enough to destroy the party???”
If the Republican left wants to help this country, they would change parties and be issues driven politicians.
It’s always been their party, and for them they are saving it. It’s just that slowly, more conservatives are, due to talk radio and the Internet, bypassing the RNC/GOP and the MSM and talking amongst themselves and ....are just now digesting what the Republican Party is, and has always been, a big government, high tax, popular disparaging elitist, financial merchant money party, first and foremost.
Look how little effect the National Review, most all the party elite had in anointing bland, wishy washy, great hair Mitt, vs the hail Mary lash out choice of McCain. Further the fundamentally threatening to the comfy hundred year government/finance Republicans was Ron Paul.
The GOP/RNC/Washington crew are in deep deep trouble and they know it and want all this Tea Party notions suppressed, stopped on, or at best decapitated with a RNC head grafted on.
FUGOP. The Founding Fathers would have the present ‘leadership’ tarred and feathered.
