I'm probably going to make some enemies with this post, though that's not my intent. The wording of my post is pretty harsh, but it's because I'm trying to get the various parts of the GOP to wake up and see that we have a problem and then deal with it.

And BTW, one more note for libertarian conservatives: going around mocking social conservatives is really counter-productive. Quit doing it.

I want to see libertarian conservatives quit doing everything they can to kill the unborn; I want to social conservatives worship God instead of the government; and I want to see the GOP leadership to at least open a dictionary, look up the word ‘leadership’, and read the definition.

I can't disagree with that. The reality is that any political organization large enough to win at a national level is going to have some degree of factionalism. It is up to the party leadership, and that is not necessarily the President, to unite us, by providing enough principled agenda items for the factions to agree to vote together. The GOP failed to do that.

The question is whether we will be dedicate ourselves to guys like Bob Schaffer and Mike Pence, or will we contioue to be squimish when it comes to putting up conservative cadndiates.

Unlike, say, your mocking libertarian conservatives as "doing everything they can to kill the unborn"?

Thank-you for a much needed breath of fresh air after reading a number of disheartening posts here. I like the comments about the internet. While there are stuff that can be offendsive, you got the comments said right. I do not want to see the net get controled. Anyone who wants to see what internet control is need only read up what is going on in China, where the internet is allowed as long as critiquing of the government is not done.

Wha' happened? Did anyone get the number of that truck?

Actually America has been run over by a massive shift in the population. This shift has been downward. That is, there are far more people voting who are from the lower economic and educational levels.

The bar has been lowered. Voters on this level are more subject to collectivist appeals. Socialism always does better in poorer, less educated countries.

I also believe that we experienced massive voter fraud.

Sour Grapes? Yes. But it is because I am so sorry for our country and what it will be subject to in the next two years.

The great silver lining is that this is the Democrats' last Hoorah. Hopefully the next two years will wake up enough people who pay taxes to overcome the have-nots.

Actually, I consider myself a Christian but I am pro-choice and had no problem pulling the plug on Terry Schiavo. Regarding pro-choice - I don't want to get everybody riled so lay off before you get started. This is just my honest, personal belief and will remain so until there are no living unwanted, abandoned children.

Regarding Terry - I couldn't believe the zoo around that. It
made me and lots of other Christians, who would want our plug pulled, write a living will.

I also homeschool so we are paying for education on top of what is taken out in taxes.

I don't think I fit in any of your neat little boxes.
