It’s never over until the last conservative is dead, and thanks to people like Rush and Sean the next generation is stepping up. The only reason people think that the Conservative movement is over and dead is because the political left says we are. And why should we listen to people who never agreed with us in the first place.

If conservatives and the GOP continue to push a religion-based agenda, then they deserve extinction.
America deserves a party that will defend all freedoms equally and not pick and choose which rights to violate, which is what both Dems and Repubs do now.
But the GOP can become the party we need only if it turns against the people who think Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs.

Pschearer, the GOP isn’t pushing a religion-based agenda. It’s not pushing any agenda at all. THAT’S THE PROBLEM.

If the GOP remains economically conservative, there’s a chance for renewal. That’s a viable and ongoing stance, and perhaps a necessary counterbalance. If they cling to social conservativism, they’ll dwindle to nothing except racists and religious fanatics.
Liberalism, ideally, is the driving force of progress, while Conservativism, ideally, is the stabilizing factor. Today’s 50-somethings, while more conservative (socially) than today’s 20-somethings, are nonetheless far more liberal on the whole than their parents were at the same age. Today’s 20-somethings will be more conservative than they are now in 30 years, and more conservative than their children, but will still be liberal compared to the 50-somethings of today. But when the call goes out to go BACKWARD rather than simply to modulate the motion FORWARD, any short-term successes are simply stopgaps. Time may be relative, but it only goes in one direction.

If Newt is the nominee, I’m voting Democrat! What the G.O.P. needs is a candidate who will expouse a conservative platform and stick to it. The problem that the Republocrats have is that they want to be “liked”. As Barack “the Benevolent”, President Clinton’s husband, and Jimmy Carter learned, when you campain you speak conservative, once you get into office then you throw things out the window. At least President Clinton (with the help of the Republocrats) was smart enough to govern center right and he was re-elected.
