Democrats want to change everything–start breathing carbon dioxide and exhaling oxygen,that will "stop global warming",sounds good to you doesn't it,there is so many things that sound good,but just can not be done--that is not being stubborn,it 's called intelligent.

Veronica,
I am neither paranoid nor bigoted. I don't believe in torture as an ends to any means. I also know that intelligence will conquer might in most cases. I believe in good stewardship of our planet and would love to have an open and truly free market where we could trade with all nations.
I see no reason not to be an open and honest society. We would all benefit in a world like that.
However, I don't believe that there is any "interpretation" of the Constitution. I've read it several times and even if you have to look up the definition of some of the language it becomes very clear and is easily understood. It limits what our government can do and leaves the rest up to us to decide. So when I say, "NO" its not to you. I could care less what you do or how you live. It matters not to me so long as you do not infringe on my life, liberty, or property. My "NO" is to the government as it should be. But, I do agree with you that the Republican party (my party) has been diluted with busy bodies in conservative clothing, people who want to force me to do and act as they would have me do even though I wish to be left to my own accord. Self reliance is true freedom and liberty is well armed against the wolves that would eat it for dinner. Our Constitution ought not be taken too lightly as it is today. It and our guns are all that keeps you and me safe from a government hell bent on ruling our lives.

Conservatives have not thought of anything since Barry Goldwater's run against Lyndon Johnson. Reagan stole all of Goldwater's material and Conservatives ever since have been stealing paragraphs from Goldwater's speeches. If there are Conservatives in 2100 (I certainly hope they are extinct by then), they will still be talking about the Liberal Media, the Free Market (definition: a market controlled by foreign corporations), gay marriage, and flag burning.

Translation: Continue to say NO and offer nothing but lies and fear!!!

The Party of No just keep digging a deeper hole! Come on board moderates!

I agree!!! That's it Republicans, keep doing what you are doing so we can be rid of you sooner!

They won't change, and they won't win....Can't teach old dogs new tricks....

Constructive conservatism will always have a chance, but when the party is being held hostage by a certain element that is hiding out in religious garb, no will do.

Specter has opened the gate.

A party of TRUE Conservatives, yes.

A party of paranoid, bigoted, and ignorant right-wing extremists who want to turn our democracy into a theocracy, think torture is okey-dokey, think those with 'guns make the rules', thinks brawn trumps brains, thinks everyone should live by THEIR interpretation of the Constitution, thinks big business interests trumps small business and private citizens, who denies that we're treating the earth like crape, and who want to isolate us from the rest of the world, NO.

@Dawson sought the RNC chairmanship in January, but lost to Michael Steele in the final round of balloting. The South Carolina party chief had strong support on the committee from some of the RNC's most conservative members, some of whom remain skeptical of Steele.**Steele is bad news on a Rainy Day****

You can always count republicans on one thing - being stubborn.
