DAVID FRUM, THE BIG TENT, AND SPLENETIC CONSERVATIVES
Seriously people, all this pseudo intellectual conversation about a return to power by Republican Conservatives. What part of never don't you understand? The part of the equation always conveniently overlooked by the "Conservative" intelligentsia is the effect that massive demographic shifts have had on voting patterns. Look at voting patterns in states that were once solidly Republican like Nevada, North Carolina, Virginia. New Mexico and soon to follow, Texas. Do you honestly believe some of these states were lost because of an angry electorate? Maybe we just cross our collective fingers and hope these demographic trends miraculously end or that these voters have a conservative epiphany.
The split between the true Conservatives ie: Libertarians and the God squad has been festering for a long time, and frankly I for one am not interested in finding an arrangement with the culture warriors, they should have been thrown under the bus long ago. The party which is splintered beyond repair, has spent all it's political currency wooing middle aged white men, managed to alienate the largest new voting block in the country, is bereft of any new ideas that might appeal to minority voting blocks, and for all intents and purposes has begun the long, slow, painful slide to oblivion, soon to join forces with the Whigs and No Nothings. Good luck.
