I want to hear conservatives come out strong against Abortion, the scope and size of the federal government, "Free Trade", Sex Education, our military being used for police exercises, illegal immigration, the current state of immigration, anti-Christian rhetoric, etc. I see mostly a bunch of weaklings afraid to "Shake the Boat" in fear that they won't be reelected and their income cut off.

You're right. What I see is a mainstream media that welcomes Republicans who criticize fellow Republicans...McCain, Richard Shelby, Arlen, etc., and will demonize or muzzle any Republican with a strong pro-America message.

When the President speaks, pundits instantly opine...even on Foxnews Brit or Tony immediately act the critics...derailing both the impact and the message. You know what they do on nightly and daytime network and cable news... run down or misrepresent admin. accomplishments regularly while giving Daschle and co. free airtime to lie...no tough questions asked.

Many good Republicans (like JC Watts) choose to leave the DC sewer for home - to put family and God first right now. Dems. put politics first. The current political arena is no more than an extension of the entertainment business, imho, shallow imagery, fantasy, PR.

Christians won't play Hillary's game (the end justifies the means). Arafat's willing to sign any treaty, knowing that among his people a treaty with Israel is meaningless. Dealing with the Democrats is becoming increasingly similar...they lie, cheat and can't be trusted to behave honorably. Our guys come off as "weak" for not making noisy and slanderous accusations a la Clinton and Daschle, but in the old days, when we actually had some common sense and maturity as a nation...the voters would question the fitness of a candidate who couldn't hold his temper, not reward him. Can we compete with the entertainment industry for America's attention? McCarthy is still right.

I don't blame Republicans with loving families for opting out of the political debate. The current climate is bad for the mind and soul.

I just hope they pray for us.

Hey, not all conservatives are Christians. Not all are opposed to abortion. Not all are opposed to legal immigration. I do think we all ought to coexist under the same tent, don't you? Because that causes alot of arguments on this board.

Wrong. That approach appeals only to a limited audience within a limited sector. Conservative cry baby politicians are the worst kind. Rather than harping on what they're against, they should expound on what they are for, in positive and easily understandable language that sells itself to open-minded voters across the board. The Conservate message can resonate beyond the GOP. And — nobody wants the boat shaken in shaky times, and we are in rough seas at the moment on many fronts.
