Those of us who are very Conservative often forget that not everyone is. Most AMericans are generally moderate, which explains why someone like McCain is popular. I just think that Republicans need to stand up for themselves, and the Party, and the base, in a continuous manner. Good points.

But I think some of the results can be traced back to the RINO situation. Once you start calling out your allies for not being ideological pure enough to be in your party, you run the risk of the other party courting them. Which is exactly what happened, many of the Dems that were elected are somewhat to relatively conservative. The question is, would you prefer to have that middle of the road wishy washy politician to have an R or a D after their name. It's the difference between majority and minority status. I think many in the Republican party forgot why those people were courted/invited into the party in the first place. There’s a lot of reasons, and no one single explanation.
