Unfortunately, the only political party with any chance of displacing the current leadership in Washington is the Republican party.

That doesn't bode well for Conservatives since the OP has moved to the socialist left far enough to merge its political ideology with the RATs. They are essentially one big socialist Republicrat party.

Democrats have mastered the trick of running as conservatives. Their base knows they don’t mean what they are campaigning on and too many conservatives buy it.

Republicans couldn’t get away with running as liberals, because their base expects truth in advertising.

Republicans have yet to find a good way to combat the two faced campaigning of Democrats.

Perhaps people who are busy gushing over the Obama cult today might do well to stop and think about what it would mean for their granddaughters to live under sharia law.

The United States government may surrender to sharia law, but Texas won't.

The GOP is plagued like the Jimmy Piersall character in the stunning 1957 Tony Perkins film ‘’Fear Strikes Out’’.

I think the 400 lb gorilla in the room is the complete lack of RKBA in the platform. Look at the primaries last year; Guiliani? Romney? McCain? They should have never been on the ticket.

Palin in fact proves it; chosen as a “we can have a woman too” lynchpin, and as a weak bone to throw at the 2nd amendment voters, she becomes a star out of principle while the others crawl back under the rocks they use as shelter. Even Huckaby made a surprise showing, and really, at the time, could you blame the electorate? We were hungry for an RKBA candidate.

Cmon GOP, it isn’t a big tent, it is a big campground with lots of connected little tents, each one with a patriot inside ready to defend themselves and their country.

Just two nuclear bombs were enough to get Japan to surrender in World War II. It is hard to believe that it would take much more than that for the United States of America to surrender — especially with people in control of both the White House and the Congress who were for turning tail and running in Iraq just a couple of years ago.

They don't even have to drop one. Once they get theirs plus a delivery system, and make some International grab/raid we don't like, all the mullahs have to say is "Yeah, you can nuke us 'til we glow but we'll be able to get one off. You willing to trade [fill in a U.S. city] for all of Iran?

Obama & Crew, and mebba all others would fold like a tent.

Its all about the Primaries when it comes to picking a (R) for President. The Republican nominee is almost picked before it ever gets to the Conservative South.

As long as conservatives are told to stay with the liberal run Republican party and work from within that apparaus they will continue to be voiceless in politics. Until conservatives pull away from the Whig party and form their own party they had better get used to being out of power.
