Hot AIr links to a Gallup poll that shows only 7 states now identify strongly as Republican. It’s what many former Democrats say – “I didn’t leave the party, it left me.” McCain epitomizes this. Pandering to the La Raza agitators, not willing to attack Obama about his shady mentors and vacant record, or the Democrats whose policies caused the financial meltdown. In short, they abandoned the very conservative principles that the majority of Republicans identify with.

Maybe it’s time to build in the House Republican rejection of the Pork bill and get back to what works. Any Republican who does not do this should be purged. Lindsay Graham, Arlen Specter, McCain and the rest. Look at how energized we were after Palin was nominated and right after the convention. That says it all.
