Its not the fact that the Republicans got their butts handed to them in the past two elections, that I can understand. It's the fact that they have absolutely no idea what a backbone is. For those of you who may not know, a backbone is at the top of the page.
Leadership is one of the most abused terms. It is easily thrown around. I don't see anything even resembling leadership coming from the Republican party. I have to seperate the Republicans from the Conservatives. I hope you can too. The reason why the republican party is in decline is the fact that they have no voice. It is only a refrain of hopelessness. I, for one, believe that the conservatives should move to parties better fitting their ideals. Such as the Constitution Party or Libertarians. At least with those two parties, we will begin to end this tryannical central government. It's time for the "revolution" to happen, but let's make it happen at the voting booths. I am tired of seeing the Republicans act like conservatives every 4 years, (or 2, depending on the election cycle) Right now is when it counts. When they aren't actively running for office. And right now, I don't see why I should vote for either a democrat or a republican.... the Donkey and Elephant look about the same to me.
But that is just my .02.
