I agree that the neocons under Bush & Cheney really screwed up the GOP. However, the GOP does have good ideas: * fiscal conservatism * free market competition * low taxes * small government * strong military * pro-life These are all things I believe in. Unfortunately, the GOP believes in those things, but has strayed from those core principles greatly during the last decade. They spent like drunken sailors. They forgot that free markets need to be regulated and that laissez faire is a path to oligarchy. They lowered taxes when we couldn't afford it.They actually increased the size of government dramatically with their deficit spending. Then on the foreign policy front, they totally screwed up the two wars, wasting money in Iraq and failing to kill Osama Bin Ladin when he was surrounded in Tora Bora. So yes, as a Party, the GOP failed miserably in the last decade. But those core principles are still worth fighting for. If the GOP can get it's head out of Limbaugh's, Beck's, and Palin's asses, perhaps the party can go back to being a center-right party and do some good for this country.
