“Republicans, as a whole, are not as conservative as they once were.”
No kidding... Time to recognize IF you are a conservative, as I am, that the Republican party has left you.
***So what exactly is that process of recognition, and what are we social conservatives supposed to do about it? I honestly think if someone like James Dobson were simply to endorse Hunter, the Huck supporters would lose their steam, the support would transfer to Hunter, Thompson would continue his decline due to lost evangelical support, Romney would probably see strong declines, and the only real RINOs left to tackle would be McCainiack and Tootyfruityrudy.

I have no idea what any of us should do. The RINOs are reclaiming what used to be Ronald Reagan's party and they don't care that by reading the so-cons and 2nd Amendments voters out they will never win another election. There are many who consider themselves to be conservative who are willing to go along with them in the hope of staying in power, but I think they will be surprised after the '08 election. Without a conservative presidential candidate, we just don't have a dog in the fight. I know how pessimistic this sounds, but I can't be anything else looking at the cards we've been dealt.

If Duncan is on the ballot by the time PA votes, I will vote for him. If not, I will skip the primary and the general and change my registration to IND.
