I'm sure the same thing was told to Whig loyalists as well.

Give up the creeping socialism poisoning the GOP. Come back to Constitutional/conservative principles.

Gotta have a pic on this thread.

Thanks, but you seem to be the only one who thinks so.

Wise people will stay as far away from Bob Barr as possible.

Why exactly? He was so conservative, why did he join the ACLU. Does anyone know?

That is not my point. My point is that conservates, as part of the Republican party, bear responsibility for the party moving away from the ideals you mentioned. You can’t say they left us since we are part of the process. We have enough whack jobs, claiming to be conservatives, who alientate people at every turn. I don’t want to get into an arguement on that subject (too long) but have been trying to point out that the ‘our way or the highway’ mentality is largely to blame for the party moving away. The pendulum will swing again.........my point being that we play a role and shoulder our share of the blame as we are part of the party. Many will focus on the fight within the party as you would do and then deal w the Dems in another cycle and others will focus on the Dems now. Either way we are part of parcel of the process and can’t say THEY did this and THEY did that.
