The republicans have proven, definitively, that they cannot govern. |

Successful politicians and/or political movements are not built on watering down your message for the purposes of mass appeal. They are built on persuading people who might otherwise disagree with you that your position is the right/best one. The Republican tent doesn't need to be bigger--it's plenty big and there's room to spare. It needs to re-establish what it stands for, and convince more people to come inside.

Sorry- you only accept that he has ideas if those ideas don't cost any money to implement? |

The party now is not so different from what it was in 2004, except it now has no public face (normal, when a party just lost the White House with no clear successor). Conservatives didn't kick Specter out of the party. He left it, a long time ago actually.

The process is grossly unreasonable as it is. Nobody wants to pay for it. So why doesn't any of the electorate curtail what we expect from government?
