I’ll agree with you that compromising conservative fiscal policies is not the way to go, but I take issue with this statement;
“…the GOP’s principled stand in favor of a moral and civil society”
That’s a polite way to be a bigot. Being gay is amoral and uncivil? The Palin / Huckabee route is morally reprehensible, not the other way around. A libertarian shift is exactly what the party needs, Republicans should stand for Freedom in economic and social issues. Freedom is at the core of what it means to be American, not oppression.
I voted for Senator McCain, and while I’m not enthused about President-Elect Obama’s policies, if this is what it takes to bring about change in the party, so be it.
