The interesting question is what religious conservatives will do then.

Are you saying we shouldn't follow the Constitution? Our founding document?
We do but these "independent conservatives" want to follow the 1787 constitution and select the amendments. These "independent conservatives" don't want to follow the 14th amendment when they see fit, get rid of the 16th and 17th amendments.

You've got a ways to go to back that one up. I've never heard a Conservative say we shouldn't abide by the entire Constitution.

You do realize there are many religious conservatives that are not nuts don't you. One can be a conservative: religious and not be evangelical nut cases. They can be old, middle aged or 20 something. Majority of people today, according to a recent gallop poll consider themselves Replublican. The poll was a cross seciton of people in all age brackets.

do you have a link to that? the quick look for gallup polls that i did showed that 40% identified as "conservative" but only 25% identified as "republican" , below both democrat ( 31% ) and independent ( 42% ).

Carly Fiornia is one to watch in 2016. The more I see of her, the more I am impressed.
BAM! She nailed it. Hilary would be no competition for her. Bring it on! It was a great speech.

Oh, I would love to see a political cage fight between those two. They'd probably use meat hooks to drag out Fiona's carcass once it was over.

Carly Fiorina first laid waste to Hewlett-Packard, which ruined the company and her chances of ever becoming a CEO again, and then laid waste her personal fortune running for Governor of California, where she was whipped soundly after spending millions. Fiorina is as loathsome in private life as she is in public life. She makes Rick Santorum look like a cupcake in comparison.

Competition for Hillary? Carly isn't even competition for Donald Trump. Any of the current Republican flavors of the month would trounce her easily in a primary. Clinton would dispatch her faster than Palin can shoot a moose.
