This move will only dilute the "total conservative votes" during future elections between the "Conservative Party" and the Republican Party and indirectly help the Democrats and leftists maintain their majorities at every political level in both the short-term and in the long-term.
Thank Bush for that. Its going to take a long time for the conservatives to build strength elsewhere, but I think that is their only option. To stay with the republican party just maintains the status quo, except that the moderates will just get more plentiful. I'm not a moderate and see no gain in helping them, especially when so many despise true conservatives/the right.
