DKlassen. I am "Un-enrolled". In Massachusetts, some clown created an "Independent" party, thus denying the rest of us enrollment as "Independents."

I am a conservative as 60%+ Americans claim to be. I am a fiscal conservative and a social conservative. I am not a right wing radical.

I am pro life and pro choice . I do not want to pay for abortions. I am against partial birth abortion except for the immediate need to save the mothers life. I would take no action to outlaw abortion no mater how disgusting I may find it because I can envision conditions in which a woman may believe with all her heart that abortion is the only option. I am a conservative.

I believe in the constitution as our founders presented it. I like that it can be changed but for good cause and with a lot of effort. I am a conservative.

I believe in equality for all, not preference for some. I am a conservative.

I believe in guaranteed equal opportunity not guaranteed results. I am a conservative.

Some have said that the Republican party is dead. Perhaps is is in trouble but remember Obama won with 52% or 53% of the vote. Every where that there was a conservative issue on the ballot, it won. Conservatives are the base of the Republican party, don't knock them, we need them. There is such a thing as the religious right. It is not evil, just zealous.

Moderates in my opinion are just people with no fire in their gut.

Democrats never move to the right but everyone thinks Republicans should move to the left. Whatever happened to principles?

On the question of a third party: That will guarantee a loss for the Republicans.

What is the solution? I don't know. I think that we have to let the RNC know that they should follow the conservative principles that most Americans believe in.

Thank you for your time.
