For myself, at least w/ our 2 party system, I choose the one that best represents my convictions. However, I'm firmly w/ Z - Bush shouldn't have gone w/ TARP. Bad idea, & it has gone from bad to worse.<br /><br />Republicans need to decide on identity. If they're gonna be more of the same left-leaning stuff, then that's not me. But what choice have I? I'm not Libertarian - I want a platform that takes stands on social/moral issues...Susannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17706229786132028791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-41174397774127841332009-05-26T21:03:03.511-04:002009-05-26T21:03:03.511-04:00Susannah: You wrote, "Delegates representing count...Susannah: You wrote, "Delegates representing counties/states are sent to the National convention whence-upon (is that a word?) the National Party platform is voted."<br /><br />OK, so what if the NP platform is the antithesis of what we conservatives believe? <br /><br />Does that mean we are not Republicans?<br /><br />Then what are we?<br /><br />Do I then have to choose between a very left wing Party and an extrememly left wing party.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693381971064363612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-30471925338523148462009-05-26T18:23:23.525-04:002009-05-26T18:23:23.525-04:00Imagine Powell voting for obama and calling himsel...Imagine Powell voting for obama and calling himself a Republican?<br /><br />enough said. Joe, republicans are , or WERE, CONSERVATIVE. Bush was wrong with TARP and obama's wrong on everything else.<br /><br />What's small gov't about obama (though he says he doesn't like it!), what's good or conservative about continuing Bush's laxity on the borders? What's conservative about owning American companies? Powell voted for THIS and wants to be called a Republican?<br /><br />Let's ask HIM what he feels a Republican is..the onus is on HIM, not us.<br /><br />Great to hear your doc's so encouraged by your progress.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989573357446569262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-61273806549854851182009-05-26T10:19:39.917-04:002009-05-26T10:19:39.917-04:00Ah, give us leaders whose standard is the word of ...Ah, give us leaders whose standard is the word of God, whose face is like a flint towards doing and saying what is right, and seeks God for wisdom and direction. <br /><br />A man who would be willing to stand-alone against evil and die if need be, before he would compromise the truth, that which is right, his relationship with Christ, and the will of God.Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12063933869360173532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-12328069788220218612009-05-26T08:54:16.560-04:002009-05-26T08:54:16.560-04:00Hi Joe~

Delegates representing counties/states are sent to the National convention whence-upon (is that a word?) the National Party platform is voted. So, there is protocol.<br /><br />Anyone else?Susannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17706229786132028791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-72602947033760456752009-05-26T08:30:57.639-04:002009-05-26T08:30:57.639-04:00Shoprat: I agree...but who of us, from among all "...Shoprat: I agree...but who of us, from among all "Republicans," sets the standard?
