Demographics doom us. Sorry, but any victory will be temporary. The only solution is an Article V convention that will secure our freedoms for maybe another generation.

Why can’t we get Steele out? He’s like some stalker that you just can’t shake no matter how hard you try.

Most people are "moderate" because they don't really get the issues and want to appear reasonable.

I can't speak for "most" people, but I am both a conservative and moderate in my political perspective. The adjective "moderate" is defined by Merriam-Webster's Dictionary as avoiding extremes of behavior or expression; tending toward the mean or average.

On the political bell curve, rigid or strong ideologues occupy the left and right ends of the curve, and represent a minority of the total population. As with all bell curves, the majority of any population will be somewhere in the upper part of the political curve. Not only is there no shame in being moderate in this sense, but the political ends of the bell curve are constantly pulling, tugging and competing for the votes of the majority in the center-left, center and center-right part of the bell.

Here is how I think they can lose:

If they are insincere....

If the they make compromise our principles to get campaign dollars....

If they think the way to power is through “messaging”....

If they think the reward of being elected is to expand government in a Conservative or Republican way....

Before November we may not get enough of a sense of these things to look for alternative solutions. However, if we do, they lose.

If it doesn’t become clear that the lied until next year, there will be real, real trouble.

Republicans could lose the November elections, because they’re becoming cocky and don’t think they can lose.

I wish folks who use this site would remember Ronald Reagan’s commandment: “Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican.” People, like me, who think the party and its leadership aren’t sufficiently conservative should work and vote to get new people in place. That includes speaking out for things you are FOR. But we are getting close to the general election and this is not the time to be trashing our own party. Consider the alternative. The general negativity and bitchiness on this site is a bit much.

I was more enthusiastic about voting in the Republican primary than I have ever been. It felt wonderful. The polling place I go to has long lines stretching out the door for registered Democrats and no one waiting in the Republican line.

When they asked me if I'm a Republican, I said, "Absolutely!". One guy in the Democrat line said, "I wish I was this time". I voted for Rand Paul.

My enthusiasm wasn't for Rand Paul necessarily but because I knew I had this chance to oppose Obama and the incredible corruption of the Demo-Marxists in Congress. I felt this could be one of the last elections that I could make a difference.
