Is it time for the GOP to support a worldwide conservative movement?

[Mikey C]

Whether your on the left and agree that Big Business could profit from international cooperation, or your on the right and say social values can be reinforced from support abroad, can we all agree that the GOP would benefit substantially from an International Conservative Party? Social Conservatives worldwide believe in religious freedom (as well as integrity), human rights preservation, independence from the "nanny" state, developed (albeit not necessarily free) international trade, and secured family values. Big business would love the chance to get involved in overseas markets previously deemed unaccessible due to fears of sovereignty loss, irrational economic planning, and countless trade restrictions.

On the flip side, how could a worldwide liberal movement workout? Imagine Labour working with the Democrats....

Then and again, maybe not. They're both an internal mess by themselves as it is.
Sorry guys. It's already happened. Didn't mean to be misleading.

Why don't conservatives actually understand what conservatism is????

Or do you guys intentionally misrepresent it- in the style of a bait a switch salesman like the President?

Er uh, the IDU is ultra-social-liberal, not conservative! Read their principles.

I think it is time for the GOP to fold up its tents.

Because November 08, the Party will be officially dead.

Maybe....

Even Conservative Americans are viewed as liberal around the world, so it'd be a pretty tuf task.

That organization u noted was originally designed to combat oppressors especially the Soviets, but in today's world where terrorism is a tuf nut to crack, dunt c y it wouldn't work as a strong foundation. Got plenty of friends in Europe especially in parties like the CDU and Forza. Then there's the guys in Japan who have had business intertwined with politics since the '70s as much as we have. Who knows. It could happen.
