If the House GOP leadership believes that their problem is that President Bush has been too conservative and vetoes too many bills, then the situation is far worse than they think.

Stupid asses want SCHIP and now have put "cap and trade" on the GOP
website? And they wonder why they are in such a predicament? They don't have an effin clue.

The GOP is DOA. Instead of starting a new party (as many conservatives have suggested), Now is the time for the Conservatives to jump in and take control. Start locally, in the state and work toward taking control of the National GOP.

Sometimes you need to clean house and start over to achieve future victories and build a powerful program. This is analogous to what Bear Bryant did at Texas A&M.

Boo...hoo...hoo!!!
We need to be more like liberal Democrats so that we can keep getting elected; conservatism be damned!

This is great news for conservatives.
The message to RINO leaders at the RNC and Juan “Stupid” McCain should be clear by now, ignore conservatives at your own peril.
Unless the RINO’s move to the right I hope all of us stay home and let the rotten sob’s flush themselves down the toilet.
McCain has stated he does not need our votes, okay now live with that truth.
IMHO, conservatives need to hold fast and make McCain and the RNC come to us.
HOLD FAST and call their bluff.

Quickly, get some conservative “cajones” transplants - they might NOT lose running as conservatives rather than, say “moderates, independents, dimocRAT lite types.”

The day that the Republican party gets more interested in fighting Democrats instead of their base is when they’ll start winning elections again.
To: tobyhill
He then spoke of the need to "re-brand" the party in the likeness of McCain, which may be a tall order, since many rank-and-file conservatives have reviled McCain for years for his transgressions against party orthodoxy. Need I say anything else about why this line of thinking will be the demise of the GOP?

"The president swallows the microphone every time he opens his mouth," Davis said. While President Bush is not the best communicator in the world he doesn't swallow what Davis does. And I mean that in the most derogatory sense.

The GOP is probably blaming President Bush but the truth is that because the RINOs refused to get ANWR and Coastal Drilling done is the main reason people are abandoning the GOP brand. They're not flocking to the Rats, they just aren't going to the do-nothing GOP. There was a chance in around ‘03 or ‘04 to pass ANWR but failed because of the RINOs. There's an old saying that I believe very true, had gas prices been 10 cents higher in Ohio we would be saying President Kerry. I have to hand it to the Rats, they have successfully neutered the GOP leadership. The GOP leadership should have been telling the RINOs that if they don't get in line there will be no GOP money for them but instead the GOP went for the “big tent party”.

If the House GOP leadership believes that their problem is that President Bush has been too conservative and vetoes too many bills, then the situation is far worse than they think. Having cheerfully sat back and allowed the GOP congress to spend like drunken sailors in the first 6 years of his administration, the fact that President Bush has magically turned fiscal conservative is not sitting well with the crew. But Bush abetted the spending spree so he bears equal responsibility.
To: tobyhill
He believes Bush's staunch opposition to the Democratic housing bill and the SCHIP bill, for example, is hurting rank and file.Oh yeah! This'll get the money flowing in to RNC coffers. LOL. The party is dead and those "teardrops from heaven" are Ronald Reagans.
