We were perfectly willing to rely on the enthusiasm and loyalty of a revitalized Republican Party ... The Democrats gave us a challenge, and we were willing to accept it.

BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes about U.S. Republican Party
The bottom line is, by not paying attention to this race, they ended up embarrassed by what has transpired: a Republican getting the Democratic Party's nomination for U.S. Senate and a Republican who comes across as even more conservative than Lindsey Graham ... The Democratic Party's representative for senator is not a Democrat.
said Bill Moore
This is what the Republican Party has done to us this year: It has placed within reach of the Oval Office a woman who is a religious fanatic and a proud, boastful ignoramus. Those who despise science and learning are not anti-elitist. They are morally and intellectually slothful people who are secretly envious of the educated and the cultured.

The Democrats have, at least half of the party, something that is not very, very different than European social democracy ... While the Republican Party is the real American party, a little more nationalistic. It is the party who built this country after the Civil War and they have been in charge up to the 1930s. It is a little more difficult to understand, because you have to know a little more of the U.S. to understand better.
said Mario Margiocco
I also believe that on the Republican side over the last seven weeks, the approach of the Republican Party and Mr. McCain has become narrower and narrower ... Uh, Mr. Obama, at the same time, has given us a more conclusive, more reach into the needs and aspirations of our people. He's crossing lines - ethnic lines, racial lines, generational lines. He's thinking about all villages have values, all towns have values - not just small towns have values.

If I had to put my finger on one thing about Derek Jerome ... it's that he was always fighting hard to persuade us to be active, to put up candidates and keep the two-party system strong. He and his wife, Teri, have been members of the Bristol Republican family for years.
said Art Mocabee
The only advice I give is pray, fast and vote, and that can be for any political party...What's happening to us is less allegiance to the Republican Party, and more to our core principles.

I’ve always felt that the Republican Party was interested in having a stronger military, which leads to a stronger America ... That gives us a better voice in world politics and just makes us stand out as the world leaders that we are.

McCain is up to the same distortions and lies on the immigration issue. He wants to hide the fact that hes the one who turned his back on us. McCain caved to the anti-immigrant crowd, and with the Republicans, turned his back on our community. If John McCain is not willing to stand up against his own Republican Party, how will he stand up for our community in the White House?
