What does Conservative mean anymore?

What does the Republican Party stand for anymore.

Seems like the time is right for a new party that stands for American sovereignty, Minimal Federal government with the agenda of a massive rollback of Federal power and upholding and defending the Constitution.

Thats it period.

We need leadership not partisanship in Washington. Our role as Republicans is to work with the new President...

No Congressman. Your job is to defend the Constitution and to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity. That's what you swore to do, no matter how "partisan" that may seem to anyone.

That’s the understatement of the year! Get back to Conservatism and the bad jokes in DC need to understand that they need to stand up for less Government and NO MORE BAILOUTS.

“Gallup: 59% of Republicans want GOP to become more conservative”

Bullcrap, I Demand Conservatism....It’s not something that “I want”. Conservatism is not a gift from Santa.

GOP goes Rino, GOP looses.

Did you not read what he had to say in the complete paragraph or did you just pick and choose what would make a Republican look bad?

"When the new Congress convenes in January, our nation will still be faced with economic turmoil at home and challenges abroad. We need leadership not partisanship in Washington. Our role as Republicans is to work with the new President where we can find common ground. It is also our role to serve as a check and balance on the excesses of the Obama-Pelosi team in Washington.

He is right that you work with the President when it is the best for the Country but you also fight what is wrong for the Country and that is exactly what he said.

As usual lately, Republicans define themselves by Barack Obama. He's their new plumb line.

How's that working for you?

100% of Republicans want GOP to become more COMPETENT.

Competent conservatism will win the day. Reagan was able to appeal to a wider audience because he presented a viable alternative to the dems in a competent and non-polarizing fashion while never abandoning conservative principles.
