Whatever we need to do to put conservatives first and then Republicans second into the office, it'll be good for the nation.

I am a supporter of Romney, even though I know a lot of people here hate him.

But every Republican president of my life time (Nixon was the first) would have been helped with conservatives running the legislature...and yes, that includes Ronald Reagan.

I think the current Oval Office occupant is erasing the notion that the activist, powerful executive is a good thing. The notion that the executive must be counterbalanced with a strong legislature is rapidly gaining weight with the electorate...the citizens see Obamugabe abusing his power (they didn't see Dubya doing that, by the way) and they want someone to say "STOP!" So, we had 2010.

This coming election may very well have a Republican President elected with a Republican legislature unlike the one we saw with Dubya...one where the power is more balanced--one with a moderated President but a more conservative Congress.

That'll be a good thing, if the Congress realizes their mandate.

I agree.

William Buckley said it best. We should run the most conservative candidates who can possibly win within the constituancy they’re running in.
