Bottom line... You want to elect "Conservatives" to the Republican Party? Change the name of the Party. Otherwise prepare yourself for a continued rash of disappointments. The Republican's party leaders all claim to be conservatives then side with the liberals.
sirchtruth: I never claimed to be smarter than either Rush or Hannity (well... I am smarter than Hannity but I digress). I am however at least as smart as Rush. Hannity is simply a parrot.
MN some thirty years ago tried that — they changed the name of the party to the “Minnesota Independent Republican Party,” but it didn’t sell. MN people still vote liberal Democrat, as Franken boasts. And poor Pawlenty is almost a “Casper the Friendly Ghost” Republican.
LOL! Ok that's funny! You're not going to change the name, there will be no "conservative party" that stands a chance to win diddly! We have to fight to kick moderate/rino's out and give conservatives power.
We go the route you're talking conservatism will be dead in 5 years! The two party system encompasses the whole realm, that's why it essentially works. I want moderates and rino's to realize conservatism is right the way to go. However, I'll be the first one to kick their asses out the door if they try to turn this party.
I want to fight the enemy within, you want to start a new army! Two different philosophies.
