You know what's funny about you guys is your total disregard of history.

If GHW Bush and Reagan hated each other, why did GHW Bush give a eulogy at Reagan's funeral.

Your schtick gets old, laughable, and off the deep end, such as Lars Larson saying that he knows Ronald Reagan better than his own son, Michael Reagan.

Who said GHW Bush and Reagan hated each other? Nice try. Bush respected Reagan greatly, learned some things from him, but in the end, he never bought off on Reaganism. He proved that at his inauguration and during his entire first term.

I don't know who Lars Larson, and I don't care. I do know Michael and respect him. He may be right about what Ronald Reagan would do about John McCain. Ronald Reagan made the decision to work within the Republican Party for his ideas. It was a different era, with different rules on campaign finance and delegate selection. He might despair of being able to work within the Republican party. He DID leave the Democrat party, we know that, and the truth was, when he left, in the 50s, it was LESS dominated by communists than when he was a staunch Dem in the 30s and 40s.

What I am saying is that, based on my analysis of the ability of conservatism to triumph by slavish devotion to the Republican party, I think it is time to come up with a conservative strategy that is not a Republican strategy. That may mean working within the party, or it may mean forming an outside organization, or even a new party, but something has to be done, because after Bush, Bush, Dole, Bush, Bush, McCain, it is clear that conservatives are being shut out.

Take your schtick and shove it ......well, you know where.
