A hardcore conservative new party would do about as well as a hardcore liberal new party. Most people aren’t that extreme. The sooner some folks can absorb that, the better.

The GOP has left a lot of people and nominating Rudolph will be the final exodus.

Most people arent that extreme.
The multitude of your errors begin with conceptualizing conservatism with extremism. If we have a committed conservative like Ronald Reagan speaking out for the cause, nobody sees it as extremism.
On the other hand, if we have people like Rudy, Romney, McCain,and the Bushes who are ashamed of conservatism and feel the need to apologize for it by calling it "compassionate" conservatism (with the erroneous assumption that Reagan's brand wasn't)...we go nowhere.

I feel the same way. I’m sick of rino’s and sick of the “he’s the only one who can beat _____. Like the saying goes, if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything. We need to start standing again.

This is the rant I gave to the GOP fund raiser when they called the other night. It felt good then, it feels good now, it will feel just as good next November if they don’t get their act together.

But that doesn't mean we have to unilaterally surrender to Mexico and allow 30 million more Mexicans into the USA, either.
Most people aren't that extreme, either. But Bush, Kennedy and the rest of 'bipartisan coalition for comprehensive immigration reform are', either.

I have been saying this for about 8 months now. I hate saying it. It pains me. However, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, talks like a duck, then its a duck.

Hear hear. I second that!
To: Old_Mil
No errors. Most people aren’t all that liberal nor conservative. If the folks at FR crafted a platform, for example, I doubt it would appeal to more people than if the folks at DU crafted a platform.
Pretending that the nation is more conservative (or more liberal) than it really is strikes me as a primary error political addicts, one issue fetishists, and related goofballs make.

If the GOP doesn't right itself will fade to irrelevance and will be replaced by a conservative party. I agree and say, "Well said."
But I'm curious, where do you think this "replacement" 'conservative party' will come from, and get in power how?
As I look around the landscape, there are not many hopefuls to pin the badge on.
If I had my way, I'd wipe the slate clean - on both sides - and say we start over, from the very top to the very bottom.

You really don't get it, do you.
Conservatism isn't "hard-core" like you think it is. Everyone believes in low taxes, limited government, traditional values, strong defense. These are the tried-and-true beliefs that have sustained our nation since it's birth.
Republicans have completely abandoned these beliefs in exchange for ridiculously co-opting socialist beliefs. If the GOP supports and helps passes Bush's AMNESTY plan, I'm done with them. I'll only support individual conservative candidates. I have already told the RNC to remove my name from their mailing list.
