I agree with you. I think that if Republicans wish to be relevant they need to be conservative. Coke tried to be just like Pepsi and failed. We don't need democrat lite.

Folks in 15 states file petitions to secede November 11, 2012 It’s either the political theater equivalent of a hissy fit or the start of more than a dozen new countries: Citizens in 15 states have filed petitions to secede from the United States after Tuesday’s election. These include Louisiana (which led the charge), the Republic of Texas, Kentucky, Colorado, New Jersey, Montana, North Dakota, Indiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Oregon. And somewhat hilariously, someone in North Dakota filed a petition requesting New York secede, which seems pretty rude, given they are sort of handling a major natural disaster right now. Although this is largely seen as symbolic, the filers in each state still have a month to gather 25,000 signatures to have their peaceful withdrawal from the U.S.A. considered by the president. Good luck with that. [Source] now.msn.com This is the only news item I could find on this subject so far. The leftist journalist really seems to have a problem with the idea that people who produce might not like giving it to maggots who want free stuff.
