I honestly don't know, but it certainly isn't Palin.
And it won't be someone running on a "I hate homos and want to ban all abortions in all circumstances" ticket either.
One problem is that a lot of people here don't grasp just how badly they are outnumbered. If you are religious, older, and live in a dark red rural portion of a red state there's a high chance your whole family, church, and workplace shares your worldview - which then leads to the "all polls are wrong" nonsense you see when they find out their views aren't a majority.
But as an example, for every gun-toting grizzly Mama in Wyoming, there are TEN View-watching, gun-abhorrent, liking their gay-friend-hair-stylist, half-heartedly religious upper-middle class housefraus in New Jersey, or the Northern Virginia suburbs, etc.
And the few people that do understand how badly they're outnumbered come up with ridiculous schemes that have no hope of being implemented like one electoral vote per county, etc.
Yes or no. Should the GOP moderate it’s platform and become more accepting of things it opposes just to win?
Simple question. Please answer.
Yeah, one thing that you are not shy about, is revealing your politics and political agenda, you never let up from constantly pushing freerepublic to the left.
I’m frustrated at losing too. Four more years of Hope and Change are going to damage this country badly but I don’t like this idea of moderating the GOP more than it already is. We’ve allowed the media and the Democrats to portray conservatism in a bad light and we’re doing nothing to combat it on our side.Frankly, I’m tired of the constant circular firing squad that goes on in the party. I’m not voting for a Jeb Bush or a Chris Christie type candidate anymore. I voted for every GOP nominee since the first George Bush back in 1988 when I was old enough to vote even though at that time I was still a Democrat. I held my nose for John McCain and Mitt Romney and voted for both of them. I didn’t like either one but I realized what the alternative was so I did my part. Moderation is not winning this party new voters and we won’t if we think we can be just like the Democrats and promise one government goodie after another. That road has already been traveled and we’ve been run over way too many times.
Some religious conservatives (including me) understand better than anyone that people wth our worldview are greatly outnumbered and only going to be more so in the very near future, until we’re no longer here and no longer a factor anyway. We’ve known for a long time that this time was coming.
ALL?
HOMOs??
We got the "Screw you, GOD" folks last time to vote Democrat.
Would you REALLY want them to be influencing the Republicans?
