And yes, this former Republican would really like to see the party go back to defending personal liberty instead of sticking their nose into everyone else's business and bedroom.

The reasons that the Republican Party is viewed so unfavorably is because Conservatives are disgusted with the GOP. For some reason, the GOP has felt that moving away from conservative values and principals equates with votes. The current incarnation of the GOP does need to die. Hopefully, a more conservative party can surface, returning to the values that got Reagan elected, a party that understands that fiscal responsibility, family values, a strong national defense, and has the courage to defend the concept of personal liberty as well as personal responsibility. <br /><br />The reason we're disgusted with Republicans is because they became moderate Democrats.Brian Kernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963742379943222036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-3226079125727094762009-06-25T17:07:32.114-05:002009-06-25T17:07:32.114-05:00I have little faith in the polling done by The Dai...I have little faith in the polling done by The Daily Kos especially when it fits their narrative but at least here it matches fairly well with Gallup (I didn't find the gallup racial group breakdown).<br /><br />However it is interesting to compare that poll with the recent Gallup poll on <a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/120857/Conservatives-Single-Largest-Ideological-Group.aspx?CSTS=alert" rel="nofollow">coservativism vs. liberalism</a>.<br /><br />More on the parties not the ideology <a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/120815/Republicans-Down-Own-Party.aspx" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />It is very interesting that there is such a gap between conservatism and the Republican party in the US (and this theme has been written about in increasing frequency between conservative and liberal) outlets.<br /><br />So if anyone wants to start a moderate/right leaning political party... now is your time.A.

In doing so, the full out conservatives have taken over and alienated the rest of the party. <br /><br />The current incarnation of the party does need to die. Hopefully, a more moderate party can surface. Until then, I'm fine with being a "godless liberal."Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17309950912394257457noreply@blogger.com
