I'm not a fan of the GOP anymore or the direction it's going.

It's going in a bad direction, no question about that. That's why it is necessary to reform it and that's where Sarah comes in. Third parties don't win elections in this country, that's just the way it is. So the best we can do is get strong conservatives like Sarah Palin to reform the GOP.

We need to stop the bleeding, and crafting a dynamic where we are looking from the outside isn't the way to advance a conservative agenda.

Right now, McCain and the status quo in the GOP are trying to mold the party in his image, crafting it moderate and with a message full of mush, soft both inside and out. We don't need that. But if we join a third party we are not going to win elections, and in the meantime the liberal-leftist democrats will continue to advance their agenda and trash this country with their policies of destruction and naked pursuit of total power.

They are not trying to mold anything, the molding is done, they are merely continuing a process of moving to the left that started in 2001 when Bush took office. Bush gave us the biggest, most expensive, and most intrusive government in history and like myself and others predicted, eventually the Democrats would inherit that big, expensive, intrusive government.

The fact is, if we keep on voting for the Republicans as they march to the left, we will keep reinforcing the GOP leadership's belief that moving to the left to chase moderates is the proper way to go.

At some point, some tough love has to be applied. We obviously don't have the financial clout to influence them, and so we are left with our votes. If we give them our votes, we are like that parent that caves into the screaming kid who wants some toy in a store and knows they'll get it if they scream loud enough.
