The question after the election disaster of 2008 will be, which betrayal did in the GOP?

3. Amnesty.
4. McCain-Feingold.

[Jim Robinson]

“The War” should be: Failure to win the war of public opinion re: The War.

Is this multiple choice because I see several I would pick?

[Squeako]

21. And then some.

[SengirV]

Other - Backstabbing other Republicans so much that a DNC’r swoops in and steals the POTUS away.

“Ain’t giving up yet. We are going to win this 2008 election, Jim.”

After what happened this morning on amnesty? Hell, no. The GOP is going to lose and lose big, because it goddam well DESERVES to. The only problem is that when they fall, they’ll take the rest of us with them.

F__k ‘em.

11) Failure to abide by the constitution.

This one drives all of the others. Both major parties are in the grip of forces who want the Constitution done away with.

I’m having a hard time deciding between #18 and #19.

18. Most of the above.
19. All of the above.

1-6, 10-16, time will tell on 17, 7-9 depending on who wins the primary. 20 is always a wild card (e.g., Mark Foley)

18 with the potential of 19 seems to fit the bill.

[pissant]

The battle ain’t over on immigration yet. Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo and a fist full of conservatives may scuttle this turd.

[Signalman]

2 and 3.

[jakewashere]

#14 is the direct cause of all the rest.

[OpusatFR]

Which ONE?

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

#19

There will only be an election disaster if we roll over, stay home from the polls, and allow it to happen.

[Rick_Michael]

I hope with all my heart that 2008 will be a day of redemption...if not a long-struggle backup the hill of principle.

The democrats lack principle.

The republicans have principle, but fail to follow it.

One is curable, and the other is destruction. Pray that we find our way.

[jakewashere]

You mean the non-RINO minority? Fat f__king chance.

Failure to win the war of public opinion re: The War.

That's an impossible task as long as the MSM has the power and persuasion it does.

[WestCoastGal]

Mostly #16 and just about all of the above.

I won’t admit to # 1 right now.

[jakewashere]

There will only be an election disaster if we roll over, stay home from the polls, and allow it to happen.

This amnesty thing has pissed off so many people that they will probably be doing exactly that.
