Neither do I, but it has become apparent to me that, barring a huge transformation, the Republican Party has left me.

Time to work for either a significant transformation in the Party, or a new Party.

The nation cannot survive a Democrat Congress in '06 or a Democrat President in '08.

HST, we may not be able to survive a Republican Congress or President, either!

LOL!! Hyperbolic paranoia is spreading through this place like a virus.

Agreed.

Well, the Bush era of control over the GOP is moving towards its end. Things are going to change, one way or another.

If the GOP is to be transformed in a positive way, a huge part of that has to do with who we choose to be our '08 standard-bearer.

One of our problems is that at the moment, we don't have a champion.

The other side of that is the RINOs have a whole passel of RINO candidates to split over...so we have some small amount of time to find one.

Believe it or not, I have to disagree with you on this:

I do think that we can survive another (even Clinton) Democrat president because we would again be galvanized against a known enemy. He or she would be seen as a clear and present danger.

OTOH, another so called compassionate conservative Republican like this one, who is not perceived to be a threat will continue to do damage and solidify what damage that's already been done. All the things that have been perpetrated on us was 'okay' because 'our guy' did it.

These things are wrong and do damage no matter who does them. I just wish that we had some allies in the Senate to back us up.
