It's time for the Republican Party to stand together. I do not believe that every Republican candidate needs to agree on every issue. We have moved from being the party of ideas to the party of group think; just like the Democrats.

When I was young, Republicans stood for limited government, strong foreign policy, standing by our friends and standing up to our enemies. There are too many litmus tests for our candidates to go through. I would never run for office because I do not hold positions the litmus testers expect.

I am a Evangelical Christian but I do not agree with Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell on most of their political pronouncements; they do not speak for me. As much as I am opposed to abortion, I do not believe the issue should be the primary consideration of the worthiness of a candidate. Party members need the freedom to hold a range of positions on any topic.

The GOP has failed the most basic duties of Government.

Until it relearns the concept of borders, recognizes the difference between legal and illegal, and dumps the aristocratic attitude, it's going to be very, very difficult for them to muster needed support.

While it's true that the Democrats are far worse, the argument 'Vote for us because the other guys are worse!' is absolutely pathetic and insulting.

In squandering the Reagan revolution, the GOP has long, uphill row to hoe in terms of regaining conservative trust.
It's all very unfortunate, because the country has and will continue to suffer for it.
