I agree with a lot of the points you’ve made.

Smaller government is the foundational cornerstone of conservatism.

The Republicans have become virtually unrecognizable as a conservative party.

The American people in BOTH parties are sick and tired of the government we have now.

The Republicans have become virtually unrecognizable as a conservative party.

The prevailing belief is that we can survive as nothing more than national security Republicans and the alternative to Hitlery.

Well, it didn't work in '06 when we relied on Fear Of Nancy, did it?

Rush says, "Run as conservatives. It works every time it's tried." And Rush is right.

The only question is how many defeats must we suffer before we again turn back to our real strength as a conservative party. The GOP is worthless unless it is a party of conservative principle and governance. That is all we can offer, that is the only thing the public wants or will accept from us. Everything else is a distraction.

We must return to the ideals of Reagan and Gingrich. And Ron Paul.
