Don’t underestimate Hunter. He forcefed the nation the Border fence bill with no cosponsors.

#19

Why didn't Bush groom a VP to run for president?
Seems like he is more than willing to hand the job over to hillary.

[SittinYonder]

I’m going to have to go with 19 and 20. Regrettably.

Good post.

The GOP Establishment has a lot to answer for, but aren’t you declaring defeat too soon?

I got to agree. This sounds like Harry Reid.

[kromike]

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

Agreed. Giving up is just what the Islamists and the Dhimmocrats want you to do.

Personally, I'd rather fight and give 'em hell, than wallow in despair and let them give me hell.

Too many RINOs

I would say this sums up all other listed issues.

Borders, spending, lack of testicular fortitude

# The war.

# Most of the above.

All of these reasons, which points to the glaring obvious.

The Republicans ahave completely lost touch with us, the base, the people who vote in primaries and care about those issues, they no longer listen to us.

When was the last time a Republican leader actually addressed us in any sort of meaningful way?

They, almost the whole of Republicans on the Hill, treat us like we are invisible.

That makes you the third person to say that...

#19, and I’m sure many #20s are yet to appear.

[arderkrag]

I would like to take this oppotunity to annouce my candidacy for any office people can possibly write me in for, in lieu of real conservatives. I’m a libertarian jerk, but I will promise to be a jerk to everyone equally. No, I’m not joking.

[WorkingClassFilth]

What you said.

21 Putting own personal interests above the country’s.

[Covenantor]

In total agreement with your re-staement.

[eyespysomething]

Yes.

Oh wait...19.

;-)

except how I feel right now is >:(

[oldvike]

George Bush destroyed the conservative movement. He was on the wrong side of every issue you’ve listed with the exception of abortion.

[LibWhacker]

No. 14. The RINO problem subsumes all the others.

[commonguymd]

19 and add the global warming schizophrenia.
