No one will ever create a better product if the many within the GOP base don't walk.

I'll stay with Ronald Reagan's model: when he lost the nomination, after lots of blood, sweat and tears in 1976, and his party nominated a RINO, Reagan stayed, supported the nominee who defeated him, and worked for change within the party.

You do know that party leadership abhored Ronald Reagan, did everything they could to keep him from being elected, and proceded to slander him constantly during his eight year term, then proceded to undermine everything he accomplished as soon as he was out of office?

I'm of the opinion that the party leadership needs to be gutted and replaced with some people who know the difference between right and wrong. One way to set that up is to make the leadership pay dearly for destroying the party with their liberal antics.

I asked another guy if he thought we had moved as a nation toward the right under Bush. In some ways I would say we did. In many I would say we not only didn't, but moved far to the left.

I'll ask you, what do you think our nation would look like if Bush could serve another three terms. Would it be a conservative haven or a nation that had slid toward the left in so many ways, we wouldn't recognize the place. IMO it would be the later. And so, I must sadly say that I cannot support the status quo any longer.

It truly is time for a change. And I don't mean veering off into the lefternmost part of the universe.

Look at our California Republican platform. How much of it does Schwarzeneggar implement? The candidates have their own platforms. What the party (Regan) coalition agrees upon is now irrelevant. What does it say when 90% of the platform is unsupported by the party’s Presidential candidate?
