The price is doing whatever he has to do to get reelected and to increase the majority in both houses of Congress. And I could care less what that price is.

OK... so let me get this straight.

You want republican control of both houses of congress, the executive branch, and the ability to pick judges.

And you're willing to pay any price for that. Including (as now appears to be the case) the price of republicans becoming just like democrats, thereby eliminating any advantage to liberty and rights there might have been in having republicans in those positions.

Try as I might, I just don't get it Jim.

Yes lets get more do absolute stupid, do nothing Dems like Hillary in there to rob you blind. At least the Republicans don't steal as much.

You don't get it because you hate the Republicans so much you're simply assuming they're as bad as the Democrats. They're not. If they were, we'd already have universal healthcare paid by the government for all. We'd already have totally government funded campaigns. The Electoral college would already be gone. We'd already have a repeal of the second amendment. We'd already be subserviant to a world court, a world army and a world tax. The UN would be much further entrenched than it already is. We'd already have signed on to the Kyoto treaty. You hate the Republicans so much that you fail to realize that they are the only thing standing between you and a complete Democrat liberal socialist utopia.

Conservatives control the GOP. The GOP controls the House and Senate. The oxymoron is that that leftists control Congress.

How do you square this? Well, not every Republican is a conservative. We have a whole lot of them who will oppose men of principle like Rick Santorum and Phil Gram and Tom Delay and Dick Armey.

So the battle isn't with Republicans as a party. We don't want the GOP to lose to the benefit of the Dems. We want the GOP to benefit from Dem losses, however.

The other problem is that the left still controls the media. This allows them to intimidate Repubs on the fence or force basically decent Repubs to back down on conservative issues to remain viable for re-election. Of course, this would be true for any third party too.

The final, and maybe biggest, problem is a lot of big business and finacial interests are supporters of strong government control and opponents of absolute morality and have a lot of influence in the GOP.

Regardless, it would stupid and suicidal to give up the politcal gains in the GOP for which we worked so hard.

Libertarians never get it. That is why they will always be in the <1% category.
