If Republicans want to be relevant again, they will drop the neocon faction and listen more to libertarian wing of their party. The libertarian wing will attract a lot more young people which is what the Repubs desparately need. If the party doesn't, it will continue to slide into oblivion.

My parents left the party because it's too neocon and they kiss the religious right's butt so much. They'd probably be willing to vote Republican again if the party actually stood for smaller government, which it doesn't anymore, at all.

None of the above.

Huckabee sounds like the name of a person who is more comfortable planting corn on some farm in Green Acres. He was soundly rejected before and stands no chance after Obama transforms this country out of the Republican dark ages.

Palin is from Podunk and a racist. She belongs in the backwoods, surrounded by people of the same race who never step foot outside of podunk. She's a laughing stock, and the fact that she's even listed here shows that Republicans are lost. She's a joke of the highest order.

Jindal can't even beat Palin. He's an anemic looking guy who is the ultimate follower. Listening to his response to Obama's speech, I wondered what century this raccoon thinks we're in. He's a bigger joke than Palin and sounds like he can't get beyond the village idiot ideology. He needs to disappear.

Limbaugh/Gingrich? Hasn't this country been tortured enough by these absolute no-talents? Their 15-minutes of fame is up. The country and the world would be a better place if these two would simply disappear.

The Republican party as it stands now is a disgrace and needs to be destroyed. It has no place in modern society. Dream on.

some fringe leftist from San Francisco...go figure. I hope you're proud that your douche mayor's rhetoric helped get prop 8 passed...many agree that Californians had fear of San Francisco smug taking over the whole state if prop 8 didn't pass and that is why it did pass.

electrocution or gas chamber.

Listening to Palin or being garroted

Listening to Jindal or being hung.
Falling out my chair laughing.

The title of this thread is what is wrong with the republican party now.

They have one set of ideas and don't want to talk about it.

Possibly a third party maybe? Maybe even time for another Military leader to be president... Just no more senators and none of who you have up their for choice. No offense just not big confidence builders to me. America will have had enough liberalism after 4 years IMO for at least a little while.

You might want to note that both democrats and republicans came up with the 9,000 earmarks in the omnibus trojan horse.

Having been a long time libertarian voter I switched out of spite this year when the Neocons led by Barr took over my party.

I would vote R if they did become true conservatives. I will vote against the R if they continue to put up fringe candidates with agendas.

Whats with the love for Romney?

The guy is a Massachusetts liberal. He tried to out-gay rights Ted Kennedy and flip-flopped all over the abortion issue. If the R party wants to run their own version of John Kerry then we know how that story is gonna end.

And why the love for the governors of welfare states.

Alaska takes the 3rd most federal money/ per federal taxes paid at $1.84/$1.00
Loiusiana takes the 4th most federal money.

These "goofballs" are supposed to be your conservative candidates. Pick up some thinkers like Sanford/Son or Gingrich not these tabloid superstars that you put in your poll.
