say that at every opportunity.

The EndTimes Republicans and the fascists who hide behind them are an INSULT to real conservative values, as exemplified by those former Reagan officials who often speak against BushInc in their efforts to warn this country and their fellow conservatives.

If WE spoke up more often about this, we can probably make enough noise to make some news.

It would be interesting to see a magazine or news article that focuses on all the true conservative voices speaking against BushInc and his fascism.

Maybe we can start by renaming the Top Ten Conservative Idiots as Top Ten BushInc Idiots, or Top Ten Fascist Idiots.

I'd really like to see the OldTime Republicans come out four-square against the EndTimes Republicans and their fascist puppeteers.

1. I don't trust them.
If they can't tell when their party is being hijacked by whack jobs (as we all saw in the 1992 GOP convention, with Pat Buchanan's "culture war" speech in prime time), then they can't be trusted to make sound judgements on any level of public policy, as far as I'm concerned.

Same with those "Reagan Democrats", is they even exist. Once they see the err of their ways, they'll vote Dem for a couple of elections, and once every thing get's back to normal, they'll get selfish again and vote for the next svengali promising tax cuts for them, but only delivering to the rich. Screw them. They'll never learn. Their self absorbtion prevents them from truly learning.

and speak up about it.

There are likely more of them out there who just haven't accessed enough of the information and news necessary to join him in protest.

4. Yeah, and I bet they won't.
"There are likely more of them out there who just haven't accessed enough of the information and news necessary to join him in protest."

Call me cynical, but I don't expect them to bother to seek any information. They haven't yet, and have given no indication that they have any interest in going any further.

2. The gophers are going to tear themselves apart
On the one hand, you have the true conservatives, who believe in limited government, and they are PISSED at Bush and many gopher leaders.

On the other, you have the right-wing religious nutjobs who have managed to hijack an entire political party.

It's a wonder these two elements have managed to coexist for this long. But every day, you can see examples of the former getting more and more frustrated with the latter. It's only a matter of time before the GOP splits apart, with the more "moderate" conservatives branching away to form their own political party.
