They know deep down inside that they were wrong about invading Iraq and not focusing on the war on AlQaeda not to mention the countless flip flops GWB has made. As such, Iraq is circus and Afganistan is becoming a growing problem as a result. I don't think they are in denial but are in fact fighting for their very existence to keep their party and fundamentalist views alive. They really have no choice do they? considering that the vast majority of Americans have dumped their sorry a**es.

The crisis of the Republican party is deeper than that. In recent years they have become so identified with fundamentalist Christians that they have lost everything else they once stood for. The party of fiscal constraint has become the party of massive debt. The party that stood for our joint responsibility for the disadvantaged has become the party of corporate greed. Now they are discovering that being anti-abortion and anti-gay is not enough to motivate more than a tiny portion of the electorate, but every effort to move away from those issues results in cries of betrayal from the only supporters they have left. The Republicans are desperately in need of new leadership that will return them to their roots and help them connect with a new generation of Americans. it will be interesting to see what happens.

Just because you are a republican, doesn't mean you have to support our President.
And you're right, Iraq was a mistake. Honestly, sometimes I wonder if having so many troops abroad is a mistake.
But it doesn't change the fact that I am a republican. I have views and beliefs that do not work with Hillary's health plan. I agree something has to be done with the health care in the country, but not complete government control of it. Canada has that, it doesn't work well.
And I'm sorry if its not politically correct, but I don't support gay marriage. Civil unions - fine, but don't call it marriage. Give them all the government rights that a married couple has, but just call it something different.
I will vote for who I think can do the best job, and who shares my beliefs. Would you, or anyone else do any different?

You had me for a 2nd. i presumed I understood what beating a ineffective horse meant, then I learn your comments and figured I had greater desirable useful make powerful i became into proper until ultimately now I pronounced something. the beating is flogging and not opposition. It has to do with whipping it to make it techniques or bypass. It would not would desire to do with a race. I rather have on no account overwhelmed or raced a horse ineffective or alive. I rather have smacked my cow whilst she would not get out of the storage and end eating all the feed stored there. Does that count extensive style type?

Fighting for our existence? Like the republican party is going to fold or something. Shame on our leaders, but the donkeys flip flop all the time. You aren't any better, and you might put hillary clinton in office. Hope that goes better than your almighty dummy in the house pelosi. What the hell has she done. What happened to getting us out of Iraq? She hasn't delivered a single thing. Except trying the amnesty thing which blew up in her face.

Pretty much, yes.
That is why the dialog has taken on such a juvenile quality.
The tone trickles down (one of the few things that does), even to the point that a new unamerican activities committee should be formed to get rid of the close to 80% of the population that sees the current administration for what it is.

This sounds a lot like the funeral dirge the libs were playing for the Republicans before the last Presidential election.

No, not at all. What a fanciful, but inane, belief you have there.
Invading Iraq was not wrong, no focus was lost on al Qaeda, and I don't know about any flip-flops by Bush on the war, unlike that of Hillary.
The situation in Iraq is improving.
We don't have to fight for our existence - heck we're feeling pretty confident as to our chances in 2008 against the bumbling foolish Democrats, who seem hell-bent on self destructing.
Also, I don't see any proof of your lame assertion that the vast majority of Americans have dumped us. Don't be stupid and mistake Bush job approval polls for being representative of overall support.

Yes, that's it. We're all in denial.
Oh, the drama. The curtain is thrown aside! We're all a bunch of closet democrats.

You hit the nail on the head. The bad news is that they still can win. They are much better at campaigning than making govt. work.
