Your scenario is an easily-avoided one. All the GOP has to do is nominate someone who represents conservative principles to keep the Reagan coalition intact.

Who's conservative principles? The traditional GOP principles, or yours?

You are not going to rewrite GOP history on my watch. These principles you espouse are social conservative crap that comes from one single faction in the party who are late comers to the dance.

What is happening, is a refutation of of those ideas that you brought with you, and notification that they will not be the issues we will be debating this cycle.

You can reject, accept or just go away. Nobody cares or gives a damn what you do from here on.

That is the message.

Hear it.

All depends on what conservative principles are defined AS and WHO does the defining.

In our Baptist church we have those who pray long and loud which I am sure impresses the front row crowd.

However, those on the back row get just a little fidgety after about 15 minutes of such hypocrisy.

If what I am reading from some on this forum, is that you can not be a conservative unless you embrace fundamentalism in it's jihidist form then no I would not qualify for that sect of the conservative Republican party.

However, if you define Conservatism as something Fiscal (Not Physical for those anal minded reading this)then I am a died in the wool conservative.

I will with unabashed enthusiasm support any candidate who puts America's survival first.
