Action is required, but we have lost hearts and minds because our leaders cannot articulate why the conservative Republican path is the correct path for our country. In addition to acting like conservatives, we need to explain what it means to follow a conservative Republican agenda in terms that everyone understands and accepts. I appreciate your frustrations Ken. I have supported McCain for years because of the man and his honor and integrity. I am sorry if my support for McCain offends you, but I proudly voted for the best man on Nov. 4. -Gene Ken-

The national party left me behind long ago when it abandoned it's conservative values. You seem to think that rhetoric is necessary and actions are not, stop pissing down my back and telling me it's raining. I decided 10 years ago never to vote for an obstructionist like Mc Cain and yet the party runs him. Throw out the old guard and get new blood into the top spots or the party is doomed to failure forever. Return to Regain's conservatism roots...it's the only way back.

It is discouraging that so many Republicans are distancing themselves from the party. I admit to understanding why that might be the case this past election cycle, and I am not willing to throw anyone under the bus for it at the moment. Moving forward, however, I say that is you are ashamed to be a Republican and not interested working toward solutions then get out of the way and let the rest of us set the agenda and rebuild the party. -Gene Walt-

How can we expect the base to rally around the candidate if we are ashamed of the party! This is the case in our local, state and federal elections.
