The stuggle between conservatives and liberals for control of the Republican Party has been ongoing since the 1870s except for the 1950s when conservatives almost became an endangered species in terms of a voice in the party.

Whether or not conservatives ever controlled the party isn't important. What's important is that we gain control now. If we run a "moderate" in 2008 then we better start building a Conservative Party nationally because we are through in the Republican Party.

both the GOP and Dems/MSM will label any true conservative party as "Not in the mainstream far right zealots"//we must take over the GOP..that is our only hope.

The reality is that to win nationally, a party HAS to be a big tent party.

A faction can't spend all it's time chasing out those who have different viewpoints without destroying the party.
