The torch has been passed. Conservatives will regain the party or start a new one.

No way... current War heroes know who supported them and it was not the communists in the dim party.
LLS
Worth repeating and worth adopting as a Party platform.
Damn good tagline material also.
” It is as if enthusiasm is somehow vulgar, “
interesting observation.
So - we point to the enthusiasm surrounding Palin as proof of her worth - and the blue-bloods consider it a death sentence.
Juan McVain and his slimy associates are country-club, Chamber of Commerce RINOs who favor Big Government solutions in many areas of our lives. They would rather see Dhimmicraps in power than conservatives. It’s always been that way with Rockefeller Republicans, going back at least to 1952.
Either they have to get out of the Republican Party or conservatives do, but we cannot continue to try to work with these people who seek nothing more than to poke us in the eye and stab us in the back.
Taht is absolutely correct. People seem to hve forgotten how upset conservatives were. Many were threatenign not to vote for McVain.
He lost by about 5 points. Had it not been for Sarah Palin energizing his tcket, he would most likely have lost in a blowout.
The McCainiacs know this and they resent it.
You know the saying that starts with "Fool me once ..." I feel like a fool for falling for a VP pick that was such a contrast with the top of the ticket. If there is a next time that the Pres and VP are such a contrast, I will view the ticket as the top presents it. McCain again used a conservative to suit his own ambition, and I should have seen it coming "like a natum bomb."
I'm beyond pissed off at the GOP at this point.
Bingo. Absolutely on target. And it tells you what their real priorities are.
Hello!!!
We’re on day 4 of this stupid story and no one has named names yet.
Know why?
There are none.
You’re all being played!
Why did I keep thinking of Spiro Agnew? Red meat thrown to us to keep conservatives in the Big Tent -- but as with Nixon, we get all the rhetoric and tehy gget all the action.
Boy, do I regret sending in money to support that old f*rt. Never again. The RNC is dead to me.
I’d like to throw this question out for discussion with the caveat that I’m not the Palin fan that most here are. Would fellow Freepers still back Palin so strongly if she looked like Helen Thomas or had a figure like Mama Cass? There’s obviously a place for Governor Palin in the GOP, but not as head of the ticket. I don’t think she’d make it through the primaries in 2012 with the most votes. I look for Huckabee to be the nominee in 2012.
That was my experience of tehm years ago when I was in YRs in New York (while simultaneously leading 6 countries for YAF). The county organization thought it knew everything. I had been to Morton Blackwell's campaign school and I keptoffering constructive ideas. They would barely even listen, and that was likely only because (a)I was an officer of the county YRs and (b)I buttonholed them.
They kept on doing it their way and that county, whcih used to be Republican (a little more liberal Republican than I like, but Republican) is now a strongly Democrat county.
Worked really well, didn't it, guys?
I believe the anti-Palin activity is being led by John McCain himself (especially comments to Fox News). He is a lousy individual with a lousy temper and a big ego. He was upstaged constantly by a woman who was supposed to be a second banana.
You deserve all the crap that's coming your way for those remarks, and then some. They aren't worthy of a serious response beyond "GFY." Huckabee is a shyster opportunist, BTW.
Huckabee gave us McCain. You are not thinking rationally.
Well, the Huckster’s sons certainly look like Mama Cass, as he himself used to.
I absolutely can’t believe that there are people on this board who support that charlatan. Let him have his talk show and stay away from national politics.
That’s exactly what the Obama operatves, who are behind this whole phony dut-up, want.
Congratulations.
I think it’s time for all of us to throw in with the Republican Party and work to get it reverted to its conservative roots.
But first, we must be united. What you can say about Democrats is that for better or worse, they are unified and dedicated to a single purpose, which is the key to a successful strategy. The bickering, the varied purposes we see so much of among many conservatives isn’t going to bring the country out of the quagmire it’s currently in.
For example, I read many posts here when McCain was nominated, saying that they weren’t going to vote at all because he wasn’t conservative enough. True, but he’s more conservative than Ubama. And while I may get flamed for saying this, those of you who live in a state that went to Ubama and neglected to vote because of your “principles,” you helped him take the White House by not negating a vote for him. I bet you’re not as happy as this guy:

I believe it. Those without position, or those who do not like confrontations with supposed allies are shut out cold.
