- Why do so many Republicans break Reagan's 11th commandment: Thou shalt not criticize another Republican? I understand that many Republicans are trying to distance themselves form Bush, but the more the Republican party splinters, the more it looks like the Democrats, and the more likely we are to lose big in '08.
- Why have there been so many scandals in recent years? I am in some ways glad that the Republicans lost control of both houses of Congress in '06 because the Republicans seemed to be getting a bit too cocky after having controlled both houses of Congress for so long. From Tom Delay's ethics issues to Mark Foley's disgusting behavior, the Republicans in Congress seem to need a wake-up call. At least it seems now that Congressional Republicans are trying harder to keep free of scandals.
I firmly believe that the Republicans can win the '08 presidential election - with Thompson as the candidate - and can take back seats in both houses of Congress. However, to do so, Republicans need to stop the in-fighting and focus on weeding out the bad apples in the party. What do you think? Do the Republicans have any hope in '08?

I think if they nominate Ron Paul they might. The problem with Thompson is that he's an extension of the party that's recently come to power, ie, the bad one, the one many Republicans dislike.
I think Ron Paul has a better chance at bringing the Republicans back to values, smaller government etc.
