Want to see what is wrong with the Republicans in elected office? Take a look at the following table from Pew.
Allahpundit has plenty more. But that table shows where the Republican party has been going wrong for the last 10 years or so. It shows the Republicans have been doing the wrong thing so long it might not be possible to recover. But I still think it’s worth trying to rescue the Republican party from its so-called leaders who have tried to turn it from the party of fiscal responsibility and economic strength into the “slightly less socialist than the Democrats party.”
UPDATE: We are the cowpokes we’ve been waiting for. Let’s ride!
Thanks to David Hinz for the youtube idea!

Sickening isn't it? They certainly have a better PR machine.

I have figured our that the Republicans in our party who have lost their way, call them RINOs, Dem lite, whatever, are really Democrats-so why don’t they just come out and join that party? That is what is destroying our party. If we don’t have a party that has principles that are obviously the opposite of the Dems. what do we have?

I think it's like swimming
Karina (Diary) Monday, June 1st at 4:32PM EST (link)You know when you’re swimming and playing in the surf with friends you know where you are in proportion to them. You keep them, say, ten feet to your left. But you have to keep one eye on shore so you don’t lose your bearings. Otherwise you can find yourself 100 yards or more from the part of the beach where you started from. I think this is what has happened to the Republican party. They forgot to look to shore and have lost their bearings. They know the Dems are to the left of them but they have both moved. Some of the Dems don’t realize they’ve moved as far as they have (Blue Dogs) or feel powerless to stop it now. Our struggle is to fight the tide (or rip current) and get them back where they were.

The “leadership” of the National potty does not want small government and lower taxes, to them politics is a popularity contest.

Weanies
Sunnie57 Wednesday, May 27th at 11:25PM EST (link)They are weanies – THAT is the main problem.
imo we should try cutting the bribery
reaganwarrior (Diary) Thursday, May 28th at 6:37PM EST (link)that the media call “compromise”. Our party has greatly weakened itself by compromising with the Democrats. Republicans often agree to vote for Democratic bills in exchange for a few small concessions.
This is bribery, pure and simple. It makes it look like we want to be Socialists and that we don’t stand on a firm set of principles.
Thus, I propose the we simply vote no on EVERY piece of legislation that the Democrats introduce. No bribery.
This is NOT to say that we should not advance our own ideas, only that we should introduce bills without watering them down. If they don’t get passed, then at least the American people will get to see that there’s a real conservative alternative to the Democrat Socialist Party.
I think all opponents of The Leader are unpatriotic.
