Probably the only thing allowing the GOP the tenuous existence it still has is the fear of the Democrats that dwells within the hearts and minds of reasonable American voters. That is perhaps 30% of the electorate.

There is also the understandable fear of a Third Party, something like the Ross Perot Problem that gave BJ Clinton two terms. This is the trick of the century ... how to allow the Republican Party to die without handing the reins over to the Democrats for at least half of the century. If that happens, in all likelihood there will be no republic left for the 22 Century.

IMNVHO, it is not reasonable to assume that the GOP will "reform" itself. The deal incumbent Establishment Republicans have is simply too good a deal for them to give up. The GOP will have to be voted out of existence.

So far, no one has a viable idea of how the Hell that is supposed to happen. Are ww wrking on it?

WE 'Conservatives' renounce the clowns on the right.

WE 'Conservatives' have yet to see you, 'LIBERALS', renounce the clowns on the left.

We 'Conservatives' are not holding our breath.

THIS is what makes us different than you.

WE are beholden to principle, not party.









WOO-HOO & AMEN!

“Currently just 25% of Americans identify themselves as “Republicans.” On the other hand, 38% of Americans identify themselves as “conservative,”

That could mean that 25% of Americans are RINOS and 13% are “non rino conservatives” (do the math, non rino conservative equals 38-25 or 13)

It seems to me that 25% rino conservatives is larger than 13% not rino conservatives.

Does the Republican Party have a soul? Obviously not, as it's not alive.

As to the question so poorly asked...what does it mean to be a Republican? It means nothing...there's no identifiable philosophy. There's only the gang that can't shoot straight.

Seriously...am I the only person who's wanted to ask a Lowell Weicker or Chris Christie, "Why do you think you're a Republican?"

It seems to exist merely as a vehicle for those who seek power yet don't want to associate with "those people."

It means nothing. That's because to have actual, identifiable principles would be too "divisive."

It's a challenge to change the principles held by an organization. It's next to impossible to persuade it to have any principles at all.
