The GOP followers of all stripes better vote for a winner not a loser. The Bushies and the wussy GOP have undermined our own strengths by acting like Dems and not defending their agendas. A real leader, Rudy or Fred, I don't care who, as long as he can win. The loss of Nov. '06 should have taught the purists in the GOP that unless at least you win, you have no impact. None. Stop the whining and go out and vote for the nominee and get Congress back. Then perhaps we will not have a defeatist Congress, more pork than ever, higher taxes and a loss to the Islamofascists. And , yes, there is a difference between the GOP and the Defeatist Dems. If you put in the right leadership.
That's a very good point, emphasizing that too many in the conservative bubble are just deeply in denial. The purists in the real world just appeal to fewer and fewer people, a detail that is just lost to their fertile minds.
