We are not looking for a monolithic government, despite what you may believe and despite the fact that you probably would love a one-party system that was run by your party. A lot of us believe in the two-party system and would like to see the GOP put up a candidate for president that is intellectually superior to a Supermarionation puppet.
What are you saying? Are you sorry that Republicans lost? You want a Republican to be the next president?
I don't think she's trying to say that. Rather, people prefer two competent choices (even though they may have different ideologies).

...Sorry, we tried that. McCain couldn't challenge Obama on so many fronts because he was so much like him. Cap and trade, anwar, tax cuts etc. etc. He was far more comfortable attacking Republicans than Democrats. In fact, his claim to fame was that he went against his party. Matthews was slobbering all over him when he was the attack dog.
I'm kinda puzzled here. DIdn't the vast majority of Republicans pick McCain? Wouldn't this majority not share your own ideologies in regard to the Republican Party (apologies Dakota if my assumption you weren't a McCain supporter is incorrect)?
