Years ago I could of answered that question, I could of even said I respected some of them, disagreed with them, but respected them. As is evident in the difference between the 2000 and 2008 McCain Campaign and the fact that some are calling Palin the future of that party, the republicans are in the middle of a schism. Once the cry of the party, small government and leave peoples freedoms alone. If it ain't broke do not fix it, seems to no longer apply. Government has gotten much larger over the last 8 years, peoples rights have been trampled and we have stuck our nose somewhere it did not belong and left it there. The republicans used to be known to favor the rich, but they were also competent, at least not completely stupid!!! They were also not as corrupt as they are now.
I no longer know what a conservative is: The rich board room type, very smart but want small government and low taxes. OR
People who celebrate being stupid, denounce science. Speak plainly(poorly) do not know much, but know how to fix a 1984 ford 150 on the weekend. Palin, who clearly knows very little is now there spokes person.
The party is clearly split and the candidates in that party have to appeal to both factions, as can be seen in the McCain campaign.
The next four years will see where the party goes, if it continues to celebrate stupid people and denounce science, it will have more in common with Bin Laden then with the party we once known.
This is a concern for all of us, having multiple political parties is essential to our country and if the republican parties go all Talaban on us it will hurt the country as a whole. The Christian right in this country is just as dangerous as the Muslim right in the middle east if it goes unchecked. Be warned it can happen here!!! It has before (KKK) but the world today lends itself to more dangerous events for those who practice in ignorance and hatred!!!
We will win on Tuesday, but we need to keep an eye on that party and the conservative movement. Sarah Palin will be a good benchmark to watch
