I disagree, I think the Republican Party has rejected its Conservative foundation. The Republicans tried to run a "liberal light" candidate last election and it failed.
if they run what you believe to be a true Conservative, Obama would have won in even more of a landslide.
I disagree, if the past tells us anything, the people of the United States elect true conservatives by landslides.

you're not saying there's something wrong with candidate having a College Education are you. Imo, there would be something wrong with a candidate not having a college education.
I've done a little work on te sentence to hopefully help you along with that one.

I don't necessarily dislike Avatar just because of the politics, but they do help me to hate it. I do not like that they portray the "villainous" army to be "Marines" who happen to dress, look, and act like our U.S. Marine Corp. Put on top of it that it is pretty much "Dances in Wolves in Space".
they were supposed to be military force how would how have them look?
also the way you put quotes around the word villainous, do you mean imply that they weren't the villain?
I did that as to draw attention that they are portrayed as villans. Besides, I'm not the only one who got idea. The Marines seem to feel the same.

Despite the fact that conservatives are the clear majority in the United States
we had the discussion in "another realm" disagreed with this then, and I disagree with it now. Back then the statistics you quoted said the Conservatives were not in the majority. They showed there were more non-conservatives than conservatives.
Whatever, but to me when 40% of the United States identify themselves as Conservative and just 36% call themselves Moderate and a scant 21% are liberal, then Conservatives are the plurality. I am using majority loosely since they do outnumber the Moderates alone and Liberals alone. All a decent Conservative would have to do is siphon 11% of the Moderate vote in the next election and Obama will hopefully be sent packing. However, by that time, even a half assed Conservative should get 65% of the vote when the people see what a disaster Obama has been.
