oh sure, let's dump the GOP - and go into the political wilderness for the next 40 years. there's a real solid plan.

"oh sure, let's dump the GOP - and go into the political wilderness for the next 40 years. there's a real solid plan."

Or, we could just keep on doing the same thing, again and again (voting the least worse RINO into office), while expecting different results...

Get a clue. You are in the political wilderness.

Nobody said that. But since you bring it up, it is the current plan that will put us in the political wilderness for 40 years. We can't out-socilist the socialists. The "we're slightly less sociailist than the socialists" platform is not a winner.

For 40 years the GOP was run by guys like nixon (price controls, welfare) and liberals in the congress like Bob Michael and Bob Dole. It was Reagan, followed up by the strong conservative platform in 1994 that brought about the GOP rise to power. Now, you would seem to suggest that it is socialism-lite that the GOP needs to do if it doesn't want to be in the political wilderness. I don't buy it. If you were alive at the time, I'll bet you voted for Ford in the '76 primary and Bush in the 80 primary because "Reagan can't win, he's too conservative".

The GOP needs to get on board with conservatives and conservatism, not the other way around.

As it stands now, there really isn't that much difference between the Rs and the Ds.

If the Republican party continues to refuse to recognise Conservative values they are going into the wilderness for the enxt 40 years anyway. Why go with them. They saw what happened in 2008 thanks to their cowardice and it hasnt changed them a bit.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Well with rinos heading up the party we are headed there already.

Yes, lets just surrender to the RINO's. Same destination just a different driver and maybe a little slower but still the same destination. SLAVERY to the government. Check England Out.

[Coleus]

oh sure, let's dump the GOP >>>

they dumped us. maybe they need to be taught a lesson.

[assault_rifle123]

Sorry but we are in the wilderness already with the GOP pursuing democratic or socialist light. W has been coffin nails for the republican party and his RINO buddies. 2006 election is just an indicator of things to come and we have got to get back on track with what wins for republicans and that is conservatism not open borders, out of control spending, corruption and RINO presidential candidates.

Hey, it worked for Moses...

[Little Ray]

The GOP is dumping us...
And the wilderness would be more comfortable that the USA with two ilberal parties...
But they'd probably pass an environmental law to keep us out of it...

[pointsal]

Nope...don't need to go to the wilderness...just wander in the big tent..

"oh sure, let's dump the GOP - and go into the political wilderness for the next 40 years. there's a real solid plan."

Here's a news flash for you.

We're already there.

[Maelstrom]

oh sure, let's dump the GOP - and go into the political wilderness for the next 40 years. there's a real solid plan.

More accurately, Republicans are willing to dump conservatives - and go into the political wilderness for the next 40 years...AGAIN.

You did it once...and we know you'll do it again...before you'll work toward a more conservative party.
