Well, you’ll have your way. Pat Toomey, a hard-right conservative will run and lose the election. Then the guy we drove out of the party will sign off on Obama’s far left agenda.
Do you really think we are losing seats in the north east because our candidates are too liberal? Are you insane or just stupid?
Our party held majorities when it was a bigger tent that nominated people who fit their state. If you think that nominating the same type of Republican based on some crazy purity test in all 50 tests will result in anything but small minority status then you’re both insane and stupid.
In PA we’re going to have to settle for moderate to liberal dems. McCain didn’t lose because he was moderate he lost because Bush so destroyed the Republican brand it could not be saved.
A party full of fools who think the GOP problem in blue and purple states is a lack of conservative candidates deserves minority status. As a party we’re so stupid we deserve to watch the dems govern and dismantle this country.
Specter will vote the way Specter votes regardless of party affiliation. If he is truly a “moderate” then he’ll vote no differently now that he is supposedly a Democrat.

Furthermore, if George Bush has so damaged the “Republican Brand”, how will Republicans who vote along with Obama agenda destroy the Republican Brand? Do you even really care?

The Dems are only “big-tent” to the extent of which they have bought off special interests across various ethnic groups. How do you propose to combat that? Buy them off more slowly? Simply slow the rate at which we pander and redistribute earned wealth?

Sorry. The days of me arguing with friends about politics only to hear them bring up a list of “moderate” Republicans who acted just like the Democrats I’m criticizing, are over.

You are very correct about one thing. This country is slowly being dismantled. People like Arlen Specter, your expedient “Republican”, are going to contribute. But ya know what? It’s not the Dems fault totally. They would have no power if the American People didn’t bestow it upon them. The American people are enamoured with the idea of socialism and they are going to eventually get their wish.
sorry about the html mistakes.
