Most of us REAL Republicans are not the slavering far right wing fools you kids keep making us out to be. Most of us believe that being a conservative means just that.. you conserve.

cbelt, I believe most of us understand this perfectly. The problem is that GOP candidates obviously believe that in order to become nominated they must pander to the "slavering far right wing fools" and the Evangelicals. Even when this pandering results in an ass-kicking (à la McCain and Palin) it doesn't seem to change this concept. Instead, one of the engineers of the train wreck gets touted as a viable candidate for the Presidency. And this is why a lot of people have begun think that the PARTY (as opposed to individuals) can't find the tracks, let alone get back on them.
