I am surely Republican but I enjoy reading posts of other views too - (as long as I can stand it).

I am middle of the road on this.

I agree - nothing will beat the Democrats except the Republican Party. And, as dangerous as the democrats are - we have to beat them.

So we become a little more liberal - so what? We can also become more conservative too as time goes bye.

Hmmm, In other words, you want to be "democrat lite" and engage in duplicity, lies and deceit? Is being unprincipled acceptable to you? What about integrity?

Obscene spending, entitlements, pay raises, but, only on a slightly smaller scale than dems?

Win at any costs? Be a little bit pregnant?
Are you saying that if someone has an R after their name
you will defend them even if their position is indefensible?
If you really mean what you wrote, how do you differ from the clintons, their apologists and the dems in general?

Would you really become more conservative if you achieved power? I think not Not if you start out with your premise.

Remember this truth: Organizations which are formed to protect individuals will forget their founding principles when push comes to shove, which is to say, the institution's survival becomes more important than the individuals.

I know this is not a perfect world, but, I do demand personal integrity in the people I support and I will hold them accountable for their policies.

Bottom line, either we are principled or we're not. The problem with your position is that your party would do piece meal what the dems would do in one fell swoop. I say the "piece meal" approach is much more dangerous.

Can anyonedefend this admin or either house as being conservative in view of their domestic policies since they've been in power?

You may commence your flames if you are so inclined.

Thank you. You have perfectly illustrated why I do not identify with a party but rather allign myself most often with the Republican party. You can become 'a little liberal' with the party if you want...

Personally, I'm a little annoyed with the Republican party right now. Unless you have been under a rock, you know that we (Republicans) currently have the Presidency, Senate, and House of Representatives. What has it accomplished? How have Republicans or conservatives benefited? All we have got is a tax cut that is fast turning into a welfare payment to anyone that has children, the wonderful Patriot Act, statements in support of the assualt rifle ban, bigger government, federalized airport security, and the majority has been neutered by a filibustering minority.

But what options do we have? Can we vote for a third party candidate or not vote at all? Yes, but then we run the risk of getting true democrats rather than watered down Republicans.

I am so tired of moderate republicans, and pandering to the center. (End of rant)
