I would suggest the Republican Party stop funding people like this. If he is going to represent Democrats and vote with the Democrats, why should the Republican Party give him money to run?

I agree to a point. Where I would make the exception is in those very blue districts that if the Pubs could win it would give them a majority and the House would be run by conservatives. I don't like it, but I recognize that I can't always get everything I want.

Where the Pubs fell apart was letting a minority in the party (rino's) dictate policy and letting the media/Rats shape their image. It didn't help that Bush was great on foreign policy but usually governed domestic policy like a liberal.

It has become obvious that the media will bend over backwards for the Democrats. I think they’ve lost all credibility. Bush had a hard time but the next Republican won’t if he/she is smart.

The Republicans better get use to playing hard ball if we’re going to take back this country. That includes understanding the media is part of the problem and treating it as such.

This is so true!

I think the prospects are good that this will be the case. There are some solid conservatives working to transform the party (Jim DeMint comes to mind) and the Tea Bag movement has made it clear they want conservatives not a party, so if the Pubs get stupid (NY 23) they are willing to look elsewhere.
