There is no fixing the GOP as long as Rush Limbough and a bunch of Bush advisers are running the party.

Arianna must be Rush's talking point for today.

The only problem is, we KNOW Rush is running the GOP.

All Arianna does is run her mouth.

Seriously, you make a great point and it may get down to this exact point.....is there enough true conservatives left to re-form the party to be fiscally conservative, or has Liberalism so permiated our party, that it has been hijacked by the spending left, with no hope.

Joe, "liberalism"?

I think that's another HUGE problem for GOP'ers. The words liberal and conservative need to be tossed out the window.

Both lead to EXTREMISM.

Nobody's gonna get everything they want, the operative word is compromise.

Moderate, centrist.

Working together to knock out a little sum, sum for all of us?

Whether it be a, "program", or tax cuts, or tax relief, or saving business which = savinig jobs.

The time to choose sides is done. Your ultra conservative GOP is over. And if the Dems are percieved as Ultra Liberal, they'll be over as well.

The country is in the middle, and tired of the partisan BS.

Would you like an incredible Hulk?

I had to go to 3 different liquor stores for the Hennessy, so you better say yes!

Our government does more harm & is an more serious threat to American Citizens & the future of this Nation than any of the terrorist organizations or diseases like Mexican Swine flu!

Our Politicians keep telling us our Immigration laws are broken and we need an comprehensive solution, which are code words for Amnesty, our Immigration Laws are not broken, what is broken is our Political system when we elect Corrupt/Pandering politicians that puts votes ahead of American Citizens or the future of this Nation!

Our government fails the most basic and primary task of government, to protect this Nation and its Citizens from invasion and enforce its laws.

They refuse to abide by our Constitution, refuse to enforce our Immigration Laws and refuse to honor their Oath of Office!

Our Government, past & present, Republican & Democrat, have allowed the invasion of 20 to 40 million criminals and uneducated peons which is the largest invasion of any Nation, at any time, by any means & in direct violation of Article IV, Section IV of our Constitution. This refusal to abide by our Constitution or enforce our Immigration Laws should be classified as Treason of the most foul kind, & is grounds for impeachment & trials for Treason!

Not only have they allowed the invasion, they force American tax payers to pay Billions on Billions of dollars to provide Welfare, Prison cells, Educate the invaders numerous children, and free medical care, at the same time the invading horde break numerous laws and massive document fraud, & are destroying our schools, hospitals, communities, culture and standard of living while Robbing, Raping, Killing & Assaulting American Citizens at an rate the terrorist can only dream about.

Recent statements in Mexico from both President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary something needs to be done. "Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the deaths of police officers, soldiers, and civilians," she said.

But no mention or concern that their refusal to stop the Massive Invasion of Illegal Aliens pouring across our borders that causes an estimated 25 Americans killed per day or the 10,s of thousands victims of Assault, Robberies, Rapes, Identify thief, and other assorted crimes committed by the invading horde of Illegal Aliens from Mexico on American citizens each year!

Most of our Politicians in Wash. DC are wading knee deep in innocent American blood and suffering because they put Politics ahead of the welfare of American Citizens & the future of this Nation!

This government & most of the Politicians in Wash. DC have for years demonstrated an complete lack of concern for the devastation and havoc caused by the Massive invasion from Mexico and South American, on American citizens! Indeed, most have worked much harder on the behalf of the invading horde than they have for the American citizens that elected them!

Requirements for belonging to the democratic party:

You must, I repeat must, believe that Government is the solution to ALL our problems.....and ....a belief that a new program can fix anything.
Posted by Joe-NY-4

That's the problem, the GOP is rigid in it's main principle, "no govt".

Most people understand that somewhere between the extreme RT and LT is the real answer.

To believe that we as a people can opperate without ANY, "programs", is rediculous.

Requirements for belonging to the democratic party:

3. Ignore real threats to the country and apologize for the use of military force when it's most needed.

You mean like invading Iraq and leaving Afghanistan to the Talliban and Al Qaeda and leaving our borders wide open?

Or do you mean selling our ports to the Arab Emerites?

Perhaps you mean borrowing trillions from China?
