The problem with the GOP right now is that the American people don’t trust Republicans
So we throw the entire Republican party under the bus because we don’t like McCain? That borders on insanity as there are many conservative Republicans in Congress many of them from my state. Really how many RINOs are in that contingent? 10 percent? 20 percent? Don’t we owe the conservative Republicans our support?
And by the way, it wasn’t the Republican party that picked McCain. It was the people who voted in the Republican primaries.

Since the Republican Party has be declared DOA when does the new party forming begin??
I think it’s time.

Thanks for your unreasonable reason
Unless I am mistaken, that comment [which you took out of context] was accompanied by a smiley-face, indicating that it was a joke only.
If not, it should have been.
If I actually had any doubts about your ability to reason, I would have said so in clear, unmistakable terms.
You’ve already made your mind up.
That’s just crap. If I were one of those “don’t bother me with the facts” types who post here, I would still be mourning the loss of Rudy Guiliani and whining that ‘we are so screwed’, etc.

Exactly! If nothing else has been demonstrated in this protracted primary season, one thing has.
It is the republicans who respect the will of the voters - free from sleezy caucus manuvering and free from the ‘super-delegate’ sham - which the democrats use to keep the unwashed masses under control.
The extreme left and the extreme right share a disdain for the people in general. They differ only in how best to get around them.
Likewise, It baffles me that not one ardent Fred Thompson supporter at SAB has seen fit to point out that Fred is now on the campaign trail with John McCain. Why is that?
In the event that McCain wins this election, I hope that Fred Thompson becomes a part of his government.
UN Ambassador or Director of the EPA comes to mind. Fred would drive the liberals crazy in either post with his dry, spot-on wit and ability to take them down.

Good luck on that. New parties have been tried without any measurable success. Thirty or so years ago, the Libertarian party was formed to do that very thing and where are they now. There waa also the Green and Constitution parties who also never got anywhere. Face it, our country is addicted to the two party system.

One obvious fact: As the Republican Party has moved to the Left, it has started to lose elections. The solution should be apparent: move to the conservative side; give the voters a real choice; contrast what we stand for against what they stand for. Not so complicated. If McCain won’t do this, he’s not our man.

Time to start looking at your woman. Maybe she is the one.
Or take a second look at B. H. Obama.

Rob,
I applaud your bravery for telling the truth about the Republican party. Better watch your back.

Whatashitwad,
My guess is Rob can do without your endorsement.
