I think the conservative party will only draw away from the Republican party at a time when the GOP needs to move to the left to regain control.
Worse thing that could have happened to the GOP is the growth of the conservative movement into a different party.

Exactly how do you define "Conservatism".

Just curious,

If you're asking me, I already answered that question on the previous page. (post #6)

Hey Charles, I like old Bloody Bill. I guess I could use John Browning, but everybody knows that folks from Kansas are racist, so it wouldn't make sense.

I'm all in favor of a conservative party...the Republicans certainly ain't it. How did Truman put it, "When given a choice between a Republican or a Democrat acting like one, the people will chose the real thing every time." Flip side of the same coin.

TD, I see you have a new avatar. Dare I ask who the handsome fellow is?

For some reason I suspect that your new avatar is even more divisive than your old one.

Didn't think he looked like Captain Kangaroo.
