I’m no RINO fan... but if you give the article a fair read, he has a good point. We attack our liberal-leaning Republicans. Meanwhile, the Democrats won the majority with conservative-leaning Democrats. End result is we lost and they won.

That would indicate that you and Medved put party over principle.

I’d vote for Zell Miller long before I’d vote for a McCain or a Huckabee.

I vote for conservatives. If we encourage the Dems to the right, that’s a good thing. I’d vote for them

The Republican party has betrayed me quite a bit over the years. The only reason I still vote for Reps is that they are generally not as bad as the alternatives.

Please explain to me what 'winning' really gains us if the ones who are winning are more liberal than the conservative Democrats?

I'm not so obsessed over the past Governor/Mayor stats of Romney, Huckabee, or even Guiliani.

I care more about the future.. what these candidates propose. What they represent.

Whom they will attract or repel in the general election of '08.

In that sense, Medved is correct when he says the GOP candidates look smarmy when they attack each other obsessively over who raised a fee 12 years ago, or who had more 'liberal' supporters or whatever.

I want a positive conservative promoter. Not a negative bomb thrower who lives in the past.

Party over principle! When the party does not seem to stand for anything doesn't mean much.

How does it do us any good to have Republicans that are liberals and Democrats that are conservative???

Limbaugh says "moderates" are liberals... I agree with Limbaugh...

What, exactly did the DemocRATS win? They have accomplished zilch towards their agenda.

I guess what you’re saying is we should go conservative. After all, it worked for the DEMS. All the more reason to trash RINO’s.

“A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency or simply to swell its numbers.”

-Ronald Reagan (1975).
