There's no doubt that the current President is giving the GOP a black eye. However, there is a yearning for a person to represent us, much like Ronald Reagan, who "talks the talk, and walks the walk".
McCain has a lot of promise. So does Rudy Guiliani. I just don't believe that there is any current democratic representative that could lead this nation in the right direction. If all they have to offer is Hillary, than God help us all.
I know this sounds a little weird, but I kind of liked George Bush, Sr. And, God forgive me, I really like Elizabeth Dole.

The problem with the GOP these days is the American people have lost their trust in the party, largely due to the war in Iraq.
The Democrats were quick to jump on the anti war band wagon once everybody seen that the presidential approval rating was going down the drain, and fast.
What The GOP needs to do to regain momentum is to focus on whats really important to American voters, education, social security, and health care.
If they convince the voters that you are going to make a difference in those areas then they might see a light at the end of the voter tunnel

It is very early. Moveon.org whom owns each democratic candidate will not allow a moderate to win the white house.
therefore Americas choice is between a far left democrat backed by extreme left wing big money or a moderate republican that will be tough on terrorists who actually grab some conservative democratic votes.
Hmmmmm? I'll bet my house that the next president will be republican.
If we are fortunate enough it will be John McCain

Yes, but with the Democrats to busy bad mouthing each other i guess it won't make a difference.
before FDR there was Hoover and he got a lot of bad press about the depression...but i really think that FDR was the lesser man over Hoover...this country took a giant step towards socialism and if it was not for WWII the depression would probably still be going on...look at the socialistic government controlls that are killing the us...
before 1929 most Americans were entrepreneurs and after the depression we have became a nation of wage earners...big difference...we depend too much on the government and our (jobs) to stand on our own two feet..
maybe the Amish are not so dumb after all..or if you look at the theory behind the Mormons...be self reliant...
Most Americans have forgotten the pioneer spirit that built the US..we are all mostly just wage earners another polite word for self imposed slavery

Just as steelhead said. They have went downhill since the Reagan years. Reagan convinced me to join the republican party but I haven't voted republican since Reagans second term. Neither party has had any real good candidates in a long time. I'm still waiting.

I certainly thought so, back in 2000, when I ceased supporting the Republican party. Frankly, I voted for Clinton in both his elections, because he was the best man for the job, in my opinion.
The current incarnation of the GOP, mixing religious values with political discourse, is a bastardization of what should be the Republican party. There's nothing remotely similar to the core values of fiscal conservatism (our Idiot King spends OUR money like a drunken sailor in a whorehouse), and separation of church and state is practically indistinguishable now.

more likely they were hijacked by a neocon mafia going after power and money. The GOP is more like a hit and run victim. Still I don't have sympathy. They should have known better than helping Bush steal has first election and some how win the second. I would say its been downhill ever since Nixon.

They lost it all the way back with Ronald Reagan's 30 year plan George Bush is implementing right now.
