I'm not a republican. I'm a conservative.

As am I, but we still have to operate within a two party system because third parties have always been completely irrelevant in this country.

What is this second party of which you speak?

The GOP is becoming rapidly irrelevant. When the republican Senate leadership provides critical cloture votes to move Reid's agenda forward, they prove that they are liberal.

No thanks. I won't vote for a liberal. Especially a liberal republican.

It would be nice if the Republican Party acted like a second party or an opposition party for a change. They prattle on, huff and puff, talk trash, do their show votes and then bow meekly to the democrats and surrender. Sometimes they have done this while in the majority!

I am all for regulating the Republican Party to third party status at this point and replace it outright as it was replaced by the Whigs when they became useless.

My guess is that most folks around here would agree with your sensible statement.
