The recent examples of 2000, 2004 and 2006 should be a major clue. The Presidential elections were close only because a REAGAN conservative wasn't in the running and the base stayed home. The 2006 election was lost when Republicans didn't stick to conservative principles, thus losing their base voters.

When you push "moderate" candidates, there isn't much difference in them or the democrat and that alone drives the base away. When you push for CONSERVATIVE candidates, it isn't even a close race.

I told a friend, running in 2006, I was concerned about the party dissing conservatives, and that I thought conservatives were gonna stay home. They did.

I have friends and lots of family members who have lost all trust in the party. I don’t blame them.

The difference is:

I refuse to curl up and let ‘em win. I have never stayed home since Reagan. I have begun to selectively pull the lever, though.

I have never before seen a candidate I believe in as much as this election, and that candidate is:

Duncan Hunter.

I don’t care about naysayers. I care about what is best for this country, and my children. I care that the candidate not only talk the talk, but walk the walk, too.

I want him to live like he knows he is a servant of God- as we all are, whether we acknowledge it or not.

I can wholeheartedly present Duncan Hunter’s message to my family and friends, without qualifications.

I hope I can persuade them to start voting again, but I can’t do that without being able to offer them someone credible, consistent, honest, prolife, and full of INTEGRITY.

I agree about the red and blue. I remember vividly when those states were getting colored that year.

I don’t know why GOP leaders are attacking their own party. Everyone knows the GOP is the conservative party, and what that means. They spend how many hours analyzing polls and election statistics. Can they figure out that conservatism is what gets Republicans elected, at least in most of this country? It would be a huge self-inflicted wound to nominate a pro-choice candidate. We would then either lose the presidency or shatter the party.

My favorite map of all time. Unfortunately, I was too young to
vote then.

Jim, I propose that we as well as trying to get Rush et al to do the same—

whenever we individually have the skills—post maps etc. showing REPUBLICAN STATES ETC. IN BLUE AND DIMRATS IN RED, AS THEY HAVE SO WELL EARNED.
