Step #1 - Demand that every state Republican Party that allows independents or Democrats to vote in out primary stop that practice.

You nailed it!

However, I have serious doubts that the Republican party can, or will, stand up to the Dems.

They've consistently been the "go along to get along party" for so long that I don't see them changing.

My thoughts are more along the lines of forming a new party or joining an already existing one.

McCain did not lose because he’s a RINO. He lost because moral conservatives are out numbered in this country. And because the have nots have come together to take from the haves.

Seriously. When did FR become so PC that we can’t state the obvious?

To the long list of the things the Republicans should have done when they had the chance was to defund the left at every possible opportunity.

The fight to convince parents of the value of homeschooling is essential, both to liberate the young and to reduce the number of new soldiers the left has to recruit in their government run indoctrination centers. At the very least, work to establish vouchers somewhere and expand on it when possible.

The Left knows how vouchers will kill their monopoly, which is why they fight them tooth and nail.

I sent money to the Republicans this year for the first time since Iran-Contra broke into the news, and I did so because of Governor Palin’s nomination.

Senator McCain is an honorable senator, firmly imbued with the ethos of the place (and I mean that nicely). He does not have the necessary instincts of a presidential candidate.

Of the five candidates, I guess I had Guiliani first (too liberal, but fundamentally a decent person), then Thompson (but let’s have some fire), then Romney, and finally McCain. That other guy, Huckleberry or whatever, just was unacceptable. Am I surprised that my fourth choice didn’t win the election. Frankly, no.

Nope, it’s not yet. CWW is right on points however. McCain’s campaign was run by a bunch of RINO, excuse the election night French, pussies. We’ve heard them giving up tonight on exit polls. I heard one of them on FNC set it up so that he may blame Gov. Palin. Gov. Palin was the only bright spot in this campaign.

There’s a reason why we’re conservative and not necessarily republican. McCain may have not donned the cushy and gay sweater, but he may as well have. His campaign was never focused, and if not for his one wise decision of selecting Gov. Palin, this would be looking far worse.

Its over... AMERICA has choosen to adopted the Socialist/marxism mantra. The O has won with both houses also dem... Free America is gone... socialist/welfare america is here.

All those that voted for the socialist agenda will definately be sorry after the fact. I weep at what has happen to this once great country.

Mainstream MSM has WON and WON Big. You all who thought their power has diminished was very very wrong and they will get bigger and bigger.

How soon before re-education camps open. Been through it once,and I know I will not survive it again.

Cleaning up elections is now in the hands of three branches of Government controlled by those that perpetrate it. How do we fix it with those odds?

Also, McCain lost because of McCain Feingolod!

The next big loser of the night. No candidate from now on is going to accept public financing ever.

What you said, and:

“16”—Keep our best, most eloquent and feisty conservative spokespeople on speed dial so they may ram the “Fairness Doctrine” down the throats of the MSM once it is returned.

B-1 Bob Dornan/Duncan Hunter/Tom Tancredo/Sarah Palin come most directly to mind...along with Michael Steele, J. C. Watts, Bobby Jindal.

Problem is that Republicans stand for nothing and Democraps stand on lies and are not held accountable. Mark this night as the day the Republican party died!

So true!...adding this:

This was the night the seed was planted to let the CONSERVATIVE PARTY grow.

We have to get organized and boycott one liberal news outlet such as CNN. Let's just concentrate on one!

The Republican Party better start NOW to get behind a candidate for 2012. No more luke-warm support for a RINO candidate. No more splitting the conservative vote in the primaries. No more wishing the VP nominee was the P nominee. We need to start fighting over who we want now, so that in 2012, she has our FULL support. (oops... did I say "she"?...)

I disagree. The Republican party better start NOW to figure out what principles it stands for. That comes first -- the candidate is secondary.

McCain decided to play by the stupid rule of “campaign finance” that he helped write. He was severlyy outspent which killed him.

The fact that we had a meltdown in the financial markets was too much to overcome with a candidate who cannot eloquently talk about what happened.

Good points. I need to see the positive in this. Sort of like cleaning out a wound so it can heal properly.
