What core agenda defines the GOP? If they want to be the Party of the Middle, then why not say so? Let them define a new platform and stick to it.
And nowhere in that exchange did you:
suggested a week ago that the GOP needed a set of stated ideals to run on, similar to the CwA
You weren't exactly suggesting that the GOP should put out a new CWA; you were mocking the MIDDLE voters, the ones you all disdain so much.
My #54: "The more the Party refuses to have a unified agenda, the more votes are going to swing on individual candidates. As the Contract with America shows, a unified, objective agenda is a winning strategy. As the failure to follow through on it and becoming Beltway Drones shows, 535 different agendas is not. You still haven't answered my question: what does the Republican Party stand for, unequivocally?"
Your reply #55: "Look, you can talk and talk and post and post and rationalize and rationalize; the fact remains that there are only two parties in the running.
If you want to leave the GOP, leave.
But the GOP is NOT going to move farther to the right than it is right now -- especially since it cannot count on the far rights vote."
My #56: "You still haven't answered my question: what does the Republican Party stand for, unequivocally? Can't think of any? I listed a whole raft of things to pick from [ viz.#37, same thread ], many of which are hardly "far right". Surely at least a few must be Republican Core Values."
That help your recall any?
