Moderates are killing the Republican Party. We have too many members in our own party saying that we need to soften our "extreme right-wing positions" so that we can attract more voters. If we don't, there's no way we can win.
(I love how solid everyday Conservatism is referred to as extreme right wing by the media. If mainstream American values and ideals are extreme, then extreme be I!)
Ronald Reagan did not compromise any of his principles for the sake of votes. And he won both times. In landslides.
Ronald Reagan showed us how a Republican with Conservative values can win elections by huge margins. No offense to either Bush, but they weren't exactly solid-to-the-core Conservatives. Bush the elder ticked off Conservatives by going back on his "Read my lips... no new taxes" pledge and he was gone. Bush the younger ticked off Conservatives at the end of his administration by letting spending get out of control. Republicans are only successful when we stand firm on our Conservative principles and not try to "win votes". All we become when we pander is Democrat-light.
