While there may indeed be a blue wall it's not nearly as strong as the author of the op-ed believes. The more I hear him talk the more I love the fact that he's RNC chairman, too. :lol: I'm so glad I kept leaning towards him when others were trying their best to get me to switch to another one or two in the running for the job.

The Republicans can be a defeated party if they want to be. Republican is not synonymous with conservatism... at least not like it used to be. Conservatism can't die because people, regardless of party affiliation trend toward conservatism over time, in spite of the rhetoric or the politics of a centralized government.

How many times did he condemn attacks on Obama, as the Media and Obama's crew drug Palin through the Mud. Elections are nothing more than destroying your opponent to increase your popularity, and the Dem's have stuck by this method with great effect. As far as Republicans--I will stick by my principles and beliefs until some "True Republicans" are placed in office--so many Republicans seem to be 'Afraid" of voicing their opinions in fear of upseting the Media and the Media Darling--as proven by the lack of screaming about the nomination of a "Tax Dodger", not to mention I have heard no argument against the reversal of the "Mexico City Policy"-The Republican Party is truly showing signs that they believe they are "A Defeated Party" McCain’s major flaw in his campaign was that He actually attempted to run an “Honorable” campaign.

If the Republican party wants to keep doing what they're doing now, however, they can count me out, for donations, for activism, for anything and everything that they then use to minimize conservatives.
