If moderates like Buckley and Parker want to leave the GOP (they are not conservatives), I'm all for it. It would hurt the party in the short-term. But in the long run, the GOP might actually be able to produce a coherant, American vision that will attact some of the more like-minded independents or disenfranchised Democrats to make up for the loss of the moderates. Right now, the moderates stand in the way of any real change in Washington. The only change, such as it is, is more left-leaning policies and ever bigger government. Moderates don't seem to have a problem with this, so they are mostly closet Democrats. They may as well switch parties and make it official.

I agree Matt. If we had weeded our vinyard, we wouldn’t be in this mess this year.

If we had lofted a person like Palin with the experience required, they would have beaten Obama 65/35 this election.

The Republican leadership should take a good look at who is drawing the most attention this year. It sure isn’t McCain, Obama, or Biden.

The public wants desperately to have a leader with Palin’s values.

Get rid of the riff raff. If they are forever joining the Democrats to pass legislation, give them the boot. Let them join the Democrat party for real.
