Reading conservative posts on Yahoo it is clear that they are very bitter at the failure of the government they elected and discouraged that they have no viable candidates for the 08 election. Have the Republican party supporters lost all respect for the GOP?

You know. I almost think the same way. Liberals can get really excited to get out and vote for Obama or Hillary. They can scream and cheer for them.
As a conservative, I don't really see anyone that I would really get *excited* to go vote for.
But I console myself that it is still sooooooo early, and many things can, and will, change. Someone will emerge, and I will actually be pumped to go vote for.
Cheers, mate.

Not in the least. Its a long way to Nov '08 so don't start counting your votes just yet. Many surprising things can happen in two years and usually do. The political landscape will change dramatically. Two years is an eternity in political elections. Since the American peoples stunning ability to change their minds on an almost daily basis is legendary, I am sure any polls taken for the next year and a half will mean absolutely nothing. Two years is a lot of time to make your point-its also a lot of time to really fowl up as evidenced by misstatements by several candidates already. Two years of running each other into the ground should be just enough time for people to decide that they really don't care for any of them!!!

LOL! Shoot, that's funny. Considering the primaries don't begin for a year, it's actually quite silly to think that any of the front-runners now will still be around come November 2008.
Historically, when there is no incumbent running, the "frontrunners" 18 months before the election are likely to not even be on the ballot come election day. So to comment on candidates now is ridiculous.
Such naivete!

As a Republican I'm not worried at all since the primaries are still over a year off. All of this early clawing and scratching on the Dems side is going to get old and wear on people long before the election.

I see weaknesses on both sides myself. The only one I am decidedly NOT voting for is Billery. Still looking at the rest. I still think Richardson is probably the best bet of the lot, given Powell is not running, but there is still plenty of time.
And whoever gave the 'flip-flop' answer for Republicans: George W does not flip-flop. Frankly, I am beginning to value somebody that can change their mind. Of course the extremes, never changing a stand no matter how wrong it is, or never standing for anything more than 10 minutes or one poll, whichever come first, are equally unpalatable.

Now that the democrats are in power and I see the crap that they are pulling regarding the war in the house and senate, I am more inclined to vote conservative and for a republican candidate. I thought they were going to be non-political about things. Well here we are 4 weeks into their control and they are 1) encouraging the enemy by their non-binding resolutions and 2) threatening to defund the troops in Iraq.
Please tell me 1 thing that they have accomplished that they promised?

It's February of 2007. I can't get excited about the election yet. It's 21 months away for crying out loud.

Right now, I think Mitt Romney is one of the only true and honest candidates. I have lost respect for some of the GOP, but not enough to turn to Hillary or Obama. The Dems havent presented any good candidates either, they have produced famous ones, just not good ones.

Gee, that is not what the early polls are showing. There was one in USA Today earlier this week showing Rudi ahead of both Hillary and Obama.
I am afraid you may be the victim of "wishful thinking."
But thank you for your enlightened, illuminating and unbiased contribution to the national dialog.

Viability is a concept foreign to the left (Look at JR. Senator Obama). All we need is a candidate better than the Democrats... no matter what YOU think their qualifications are.
