You guys have a right to be as conservative as you want to be, obviously, but winning elections almost always requires winning the moderates. You really do have to appeal to the center unless your plan is to try to galvanize enough conservatives to overwhelm the liberal and moderate voters in every election.
i dont understand where this notion is coming from.
the republicans nominated john mccain. we all know the right wingers hate him.
Yes, but the rest of the Christian conservatives don't wish to force Christianity on everyone.
As far as the list you mentioned, as a conservative I am:
1) pro-life, with exceptions for rape and medical necessity; but this includes anti-war and anti-capital punishment
2) strongly anti-illegal
3) pro-tax cuts
4) pro-spending cuts
5) pro-capitalist
6) pro-reasonable environmental restrictions, though they should be imposed by states
True conservatives are anti-war and anti-federal control.
Bush was not a true conservative, he was pro, pro, pro spending.
Im with you... changing is not an option. Although times progress and things always get worse, the hardest thing to do -- and true test of a man's charactor is sticking to his beliefs even when not popular.
We must stick to them because they are right. Give an inch to some pansy middle-roader and they will take a mile.

i wouldn't call a middle -roader a pansy. i would call them the most sane.
I should also mention that I am against trying to criminalize acts such as sodomy, fornication, etc. I support access to contraceptives and support comprehensive sex ed programs in schools.
The extreme RW crap is nauseating to me.
The endless labeling of the left as liberal, communist, socialist uber-crap in order to score childish debating points is nauseating to me...
Socialists infiltrate our schools and brainwash our children.
its amazing how much you learn in school and then find out it was all BS when you leave school and join the real world.
for example, whenever there was an international issue in school and the teacher asked what should be done. the answer they brainwashed you to say was "the United Nations should get involved." as an adult, we know the UN is nothing but a bunch of corrupt third world terrorists.
