The true Conservative concepts of less government, lower taxes, more of an isolationist foreign policy backed by a astrong military and a strong family-based set of moral ideals is HARDLY disenfranchising the majority of Americans. The very name "neo-con" illustrates that what you see now from the "Republicans" is not true to their roots. The problem is that be going to the center, the current GOP whored itself out, muddled its message and lost its way. TRUE conservatism lives and thats why you still see true Conservative stalwarts like Bobby Jindal getting elected, even in Democratic areas. Thats why Ron Paul was so popular.
The muddling of the message is what killed the GOP. McCain FLEW to the "center" and REFUSED to tackle Obama on issues of the economy, taxes, and conservative vs. progressive family values. And even though he didnt, quite a bit of Americans STILL voted for McCain, even though the ticket was highly flawed. Put a TRUE Conservative thats a good communicator against the Obama machine. Someone who expresses the TRUE Conservative ideology clrealy and succinctly up there. Id love to see that result. Obama may still win, but Id bet the results would be much closer.
The "insane" religious right is no different than the "insane" progressive left. Soros = Dobson and the minute you relaize that, the minute youd gain some credibility, #1. #2, most Americans may not want to see abortion illegal, but they sure as sh-- dont advocate for them, either. They dont want third term abortions, no parental consent for minors and so no to be put into law. They may support it as a health care issue, but definitely NOT as a moral issue.
