That's all we've got left.
Sadly, you’re right. Fred never had the fire in the belly that was needed to win.
I don’t think we can completely blame Bush for destroying the Republican Party, After all, it’s the party that nominated BOB DOLE in 1996, simply because it was his turn. There wasn’t that much to destroy.
You say that all we’ve got left are non-conservative GOPers, and I wonder when we had anything else? Reagan was a man with deep-seated American principles, so deeply seated that he didn’t have to wear them on his sleeve. Find someone else like that in the Presidential race now. What is wrong with the nominating process, that is my question.
