#1 The problem with the Republicans wasn't the conservatives, but the liberal Republicans, who tried to campaign on liberal issues. That, and Democrats helping the liberal Republicans get the Republican nominations.

These could happen because of "open primaries", and the Democrats all voted for McCain, because they cared less whether Hillary or Obama had the Democrat nomination, than that no conservative win the Republican nomination.

For their part, after the election, the liberal Republicans tried, and are still trying, to cement their hold on the leadership positions of the Republicans, by bringing up liberal Republicans to challenge conservative seats.

Because, as far as the liberal Republicans are concerned, they would rather support Democrats than conservative Republicans. And they do. Since before they were called RINOs, and were instead called "Country Club Republicans".

#4 Because, as far as the liberal Republicans are concerned, they would rather support Democrats than conservative Republicans.

Then they are not Republicans, they're Democrats.

#5 Screw them. Conservatives don't give ground on a idea, they take it. We elected such emasculated idiots that they are afraid of saying whats right out of concern of the Democrats "feelins". SCREW THAT! Everytime I get an RNC letter I just shread it. They stopped representing me long ago.
