Do you really recognize this "nation" currently since these moderates have been in power? What you and others may fail to understand is not that I'm coming at this from a Holier-Than Thou attitude about my decision. It's very simple, if conservatism dies, we all are screwed! You have to look at what happen in history since 1994. The Conservative Repubs gained power and have since lost it because they gave up their conservative values. Electing moderates does not win conservatism back, it will only serve to establish more moderate/liberal policies...is that what you want?
The Republican Party has a choice, either support a winning conservative ticket or lose by propping up a loser rino/moderate. DOLE!!!!!
Ask yourself this question: When has a moderate ever done anything to further advance conservatism?
My theory as well as millions of others in this country, in this day and age, at this time in history, is we will not elect another moderate republican to be President. We've had one for 8 years, we don't want another one. America at this this time needs leadership and people are not going to get it from moderation, but they might feel a change of party might have to take place to take us in a NEW direction. ie...'06. Whose gonna do that, either a strong conservative or a liberal prick! A moderate is useless! The idea of "any repub is better than any dem" is old, stupid, insane hat, and will not fly anymore, because we've had both and realize what it really means...absolutely nothing!!
Again, NO MORE RINO's!
Yeah man, I finally get what you and millions of others see, NO MORE RINOS only COMMITED SOCIALISTS WILL DO!!
