Republicans and Conservatives are NOT the same. In fact, the Whigs HATE Conservatives as much as their counterparts on the other side. In a Star Wars analogy, Conservatives are Jedi Knights while the Whigs are allied with the Emperor Palatine Barack and his Darth Vader on estrogen, Harry Reid.

RE :”
As outlined in a column earlier this week, Republicans/conservatives should try to outmaneuver Barack Obama and his leftist allies via a new strategy consisting of guerrilla tactics, constantly keeping Obama on the defensive, combined with a re-crafting of how conservatives communicate our principles.
Conservatives have proved inept at managing crisis-atmosphere brinksmanship, but we can consistently win smaller skirmishes and ward off societal disaster long enough to outlast the Democrats current hold on the Senate and the White House. Its not that budget-cutters in Congress are wrong, for instance, to try to use the debt ceiling and other legislative deadlines to extract new savings from a spendthrift president; its just that they talk tougher than they can possibly deliver, when they should be willing to take small gains, build credibility, and then keep coming back for more. “ He has some good points.
The current approach of brag, bluff,fantasy lines in sand , symbolic votes, humiliating cave and then circular firing squad with endless wailing (”Bohner sold us out again”) is not working, except
to empower Obama.

The GOP will not win another presidential election or other major election if they dump the conservative base for Amnesty Liberalism/Hispanic Votes.
