There's lots that is wrong with the GOP. I've been inside the party fighting for the last 4 years for more conservative platforms, and for candidates who are actually conservative and stick by what they say.
I guess you still don't get it. What I'm saying is that I want the party to be less conservative, not more, at least when it comes to social issues. Give up the moral high horse. Let people live and quit acting like the nanny state in the bedroom. Give up the anti-gay issue. Being more conservative is losing the younger vote. I'm not young, but the moral regulation favored by the R party bothers me.

Instead, focus on the message of fiscal conservatism. This should resonate with young and old, especially the young because they will inherit this fiscal mess. This is a huge soft spot for the D party.

It's not just BJs, and you know it. It's the idea that they can regulate what goes on in the bedroom, or elsewhere, based on religion or their ideas of morality. The prevailing argument against homosexuality is that it's immoral because it's against religion. I don't want a government too deeply rooted in religion, whether its christianity, muslim, or whatever.

But that warm feeling down my leg will feel good, because I voted for the person who I felt best represents my views.

No, I don't actually agree with everything that libertarians believe. But I believe in their basic philosophy of limited government, including when it comes to legislating morality in victimless acts.

I think the bigger issue is that many people seem to think that once we get a Republican in office that we're saved.

Quite frankly, I have no idea how people think there is a difference anymore. Either I'm missing something or everyone else really thinks that one party is better than the other.

It's foolish to assume these guys don't sit and have a beer together at the end of the day, laughing about how much money they have and how us little guys barely make it.

They want the same thing. They just have a different way of getting it. So you can fight over who you want driving the knife into your back, all i can do is just fire back when they try.

Government won't fix government.

But we can.

Read Mark Levin's "The Liberty Amendments"
There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, in the end, 'Thy will be done.'
-C. S. Lewis
