Finally, we are back to conservatism vs. liberalism

With the selection of Sarah Palin as Vice President Candidate on the Republican ticket, the presidential race is less about Democrat vs. Republican, than it is about Liberal vs. Conservative. Democrats and Republicans both agree that Washington is "broken" and both sides want "change." Democrats Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe that government is the answer while John McCain and Sarah Palin believe that government is the problem. Clearly, change can be for good or for bad.

The speech by Sarah Palin marks the well-defined line in the sand that conservatives have wanted for months to have John McCain draw. It was interesting to watch Palin (and the warm-up acts of Romney, Huckabee, and Giuliani) frame the battle for the oval office. It was a reminder, once again, that conservatism is the road to better government and a healthier America.

[Man50D]

Which party represents conservatives?

[rabscuttle385]

Not the Republicans.

If McCain believes the Government is part of the problem, he should resign his candidacy and let Sarah Palin be elected.

McCain is part of the Government and is part of the problem.

[BRL]

Which party represents conservatives?

Hey party pooper...

Don't throw a turd in the punchbowl.

This may be the best thing to happen to the conservative movement in a generation.

Bob Barr may be "more" conservative... but.. so what.

His 245,000 votes won't do anything for the country.

IMHO, we are not to liberalism vs conservatism. We have something closer to one VP candidate who is half way representative of the American way, and 2 socialist candidates for Pres/VP, and one Republican Presidential candidate with a history of voting both sides of the aisle on some key issues (perhaps for sound tactical reasons, but in many cases not supportive of the Republican cause.)

There was a time when the Conventions, both Republican and Democratic, were an assembly of political representatives in the parties, where many a different agenda and perspective on national governance were placed head to head and encouraged, fought, conflicted, evolved, rephrased, and competed for national political resources for their implementation into national law, regulation, and policy.

We could have 2 Republican Presidential and 2 Republican VP candidates today, with such a broad spectrum of perspective, that they would be perceived as some of the most liberal vs most moderate conservatives throughout America as we used to encounter in half a century ago.

America today is probably at least twice as diverse, yet more unified in a mediocre suburban politic than ever before in its history. Leaning towards an oligopoly of the extremely powerful manipulating the status quo, without any true political representation of the people, there is little evidence of political power structures actually representing the interests of the people.

It’s no wonder issues aren’t substantially discussed by either party.

IMHO, there is something fundamentally flawed in our system of government when somebody like Obama and the Clintons are able to rise to power without any true capacity to govern responsibly, let alone enter into political arenas without any apparent competition and dismiss in a moment’s notice their supposed lifelong ambition for power closely in their grasp.

I don’t see any statesmen such as, say, Everett Dirkson, representing various interest today.

It is as if the art of politic, no longer exists in the American political system, but has been replaced by counterfeit deceivers of the American trust.

Palin, as a somewhat relatively junior politician, strikes me as having the intuition to develop the art of politic along the lines of, say a Dirkson. The first I’ve seen in a long time.

[Man50D]

This may be the best thing to happen to the conservative movement in a generation.

Just what would that be? That the next leader of the GOP endorses amnesty for illegal aliens like the current leader and the socialist Teddy Kennedy for whom he sponsored legislation to that effect?

Is it advancing the lie of human induced global warming that is one of the planks of the GOP because McCain has been so adamant about the fallacy to the point of sponsoring legislation with his fellow socialist comrade Joe Lieberman known as the Lieberman-McCain Stewardship Climate Act?

Is it restricting free speech under the guise of campaign finance reform as McCain wanted when he sponsored such legislation with another socialist in Russ Feingold?

Maybe you define in it as McCain has done in the past and referred to in his acceptance speech the other night of "reaching across the aisle" under the pretense of "bipartisanship".

It's that kind of thinking that has caused the GOP to be led by the socialist candidate they have today and all those who choose to ignore reality simply because he has an R after his name.

[rurgan]

Sarah Palin is amazing and conservative. I don't see how people can say that the British Thachter is comparable to governor Sarah Palin.

I hope Palin becomes president soon.

Washington is broken but it can't be fixed by any reform or change. What Liberals/communists/Democrats like Obama mean by change is more government programs ,more taxes, and more money for existing government programs, more regulations which is socialism. That is a disaster for the economy and will destroy our civilization.

McCain says he can “reform” government. That's insane because government, government programs and agencies have never worked, and are not accountable . Government agencies don't have to be efficient and make a profit while at the same time giving the people what they want or need while private businesses do that and do that very well as evidenced by our high living standards in the U.S.A.. McCain's “reform” has damaged the first Amendment more than anything.

What needs to be done is a complete annihilation of most of government , most of the thousands of these government agencies and programs that do nothing but take money from the productive private sector, cripple private industry with regulations, and threaten our liberty. Abolish the IRS, EPA, FEC, HUD, HHS, Medicaid, medicare, SSI, welfare, Dept of Education, etc. and all the state and local redundant counterparts.

For those of us who are Conservatives first and Republicans second this campaign election season was depressing. When Palin was selected it changed everything.

[rurgan]

McCain's pick of Palin was the best thing that has happened to the GOP, freedom, and America in a long time.

I'm hoping McCain quits soon after getting elected and Palin becomes president.

However, what you say about McCain is true. And I don't think that McCain believes government is the problem otherwise he wouldn't have expanded the size and power of the unconstitutional government agency, the FEC ,to crack down on free speech including blogs on the internet. Palin and Reagan do believe that government is the problem so they are true conservatives. I and anyone that has read the works of Milton Friedman,Friedrich Hayek,and Ayn Rand KNOW government is the problem.

[Man50D]

I'm hoping McCain quits soon after getting elected and Palin becomes president.

When has a President ever up and quit shortly after taking office?

[yazoo]

“There was a time when the Conventions, both Republican and Democratic, were an assembly of political representatives in the parties, where many a different agenda and perspective on national governance were placed head to head and encouraged, fought, conflicted, evolved, rephrased, and competed for national political resources for their implementation into national law, regulation, and policy.”

Aside from the Reagan/Carter and Reagan/Mondale races when else did the above happen. After Herbert Hoover was defeated the Republican party became a party of go along to get along. Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, and Bush senior were far from conservatives and each expanded the federal government in their own way. Bush W has not vetoed a single spending bill and government spending has grown by leaps and bounds, the prescription drug program the most egregious example.

[rurgan]

He’s really old so he might not be able to handle being president for too long.

[Man50D]

When Palin was selected it changed everything.

How? McCain is still in charge as the Presidential candidate and therefore dictates the agenda of his administration and Palin has to agree with him on most of the issues or risk sitting at her desk staring at four walls every day.

[rurgan]

He’s really old so he might not be able to handle being president for too long.

And Palin will be president in 2012 anyway as McCain said he will only serve one term and all the Marxists/Democrats have is an OLDER and uglier Hillary Clinton. Palin will wipe the floor with Hillary in 4 years.

[Man50D]

And Palin will be president in 2012 anyway as McCain said he will only serve one term and all the Marxists/Democrats have is an OLDER and uglier Hillary Clinton.

It's astounding so many people are willing to assume she will be President when an infinite number of possibilities can arise over fours preventing that outcome.

[yazoo]

It changed everything in the same way that Reagan’s speech supporting Goldwater back in 1964 changed everything. Someone finally gave voice to true, unapologetic conservative ideals. I am not presuming that McCain will suddenly become a conservative, but if he is elected it will be in no small part because of Sarah Palin. Her background, her ideas, and her life story will send a strong message that conservative ideals can win national elections. The Democrats completely understand this and to me explains why they are so terrified of her. Obviously, I could be completely wrong, but before last week I didn’t see any hope at all.

[rurgan]

Palin has a better chance than anyone to become president in 2012. That’s just the way I see it.

Who else has a better chance? There are many people already very excited and I feel a movement growing and that Palin will be the leader of the movement.

And she has a good Chance of being president NEXT Year as McCain is what 74 or something?

Why are so against that conservatives finally have something to hope for and be happy about for a long time?

[Man50D]

It sends the same message as it does with any VP running mate. The message is the running mate must sacrifice most of any differing principle that person has with the Presidential candidate if he or she wishes to be on the ticket.

[Man50D]

Palin has a better chance than anyone to become president in 2012. That’s just the way I see it.

Based on what factual evidence?

And she has a good Chance of being president NEXT Year as McCain is what 74 or something?

A President's age doesn't make a VP anymore or less qualified to become President. Those two thoughts are complete non sequitors.

Why are you so against that conservatives finally have something to hope for and be happy about, and someone to get behind?

Call me crazy but I tend to focus on the Presidential candidates since it is their names and only their names that will be on the ballot come November, considering the GOP candidate has sided with the socialist Democrats on many issues over his 26 year political career and will have to deal with them as the majority in Congress. Many of which he has voted with on many issues.

“It was a reminder, once again, that conservatism is the road to better government and a healthier America.”

Bump That!

Sarah! Sarah! Sarah!

[AuntB]

“It’s astounding so many people are willing to assume she will be President when an infinite number of possibilities can arise over fours preventing that outcome. “

True, but here’s a fact. Biden or Palin will be VP and in line for the presidency. It will NOT be one of the 3rd party unknowns.

[rurgan]

Maybe you don’t see it.

But Palin to me is the best speaker and politician I have seen.

And she is a conservative like me , pro-gun , pro-life, and for limited government.

Tom Tancredo and I are also for those things but Tancredo believes what I believe about illegal immigration but I don’t know if Tancredo has the speaking ability and charisma of Palin. She has an 80% aprroval rating in Alaska as governor . Who else has that?

After that speech I was stunned because of the presentation and content most of which was just her as she ad libbed a lot of lines.

Maybe Sarah can talk some sense into McCain. And MccAin is 74 years OLD or something so he won’t be in politics for too much longer and then Sarah can take over.

[Man50D]

True, but here’s a fact. Biden or Palin will be VP and in line for the presidency.

Some other facts to consider:

1. It is very likely McCain, if elected, will complete his term considering history has shown an overwhelming percentage of Presidents have completed their terms.

2. It is far from a guarantee Palin or any VP will become President barring the President not completing the term.

[Man50D]

But Palin to me is the best speaker and politician I have seen.

How conservative can she be when she is willing to be the running mate of a candidate who supports amnesty for illegals, support the global warming fallacy and restricitng free speech! I bring up these very salient points time and time again and yet McCainiacs gloss over these threats to our country as if they suddenly don't exist because the candidate they support has an R after his name! They also ignore the very simple fact as a VP running mate Palin must agree with him on most issues or not be his partner! Unbelievable!

Tom Tancredo and I are also for those things but Tancredo believes what I believe about illegal immigration but I don’t know if Tancredo has the speaking ability and charisma of Palin.

Palin is more qualified than Tancredo because you perceive she has more charisma even is she may agree with McCain on granting amnesty to illegals! You McCainiacs are off your rockers if that is the premise of your support for Palin.

She has an 80% aprroval rating in Alaska as governor . Who else has that?

The Governor of my state of Connecticut Jodi Rell and she's another GOP socialist! She has sided with the socialist Democrat dominated state legislature many times. Her approval ratings have been at that same level. McCain isn't an exception to the rule in the GOP. He represents the rule in the GOP on all levels of government.

Maybe Sarah can talk some sense into McCain.

Why do you people refuse to get it through your heads VP's don't dictate the agenda? That is the President's prerogative! VP's are by and large potted plants and are only picked by a Presidential candidate only because they are willing to support the candidate on a majority of the issues!

So what are you saying that I should vote for Obama? I will never vote for a Democrat because they are all pro-Amnesty Marxists.

I’m no McCainiac. Read my other posts on this thread where I destroyed McCain by bringing up his attack on the freedom of speech and empowerment of government (The FEC). I will not try to bash McCain anymore though because we are in a propaganda war with the left.

I wish I could vote for Palin/Tancredo but that is not reality. you bash the Mccain/Palin ticket you help Obama/Biden.

The reality is that a leader needs great charisma to get elected and get things done. Yes i want to eliminate most government agencies and regulations and deport illegals like Tancredo does but I don’t have the charisma of Palin so I know I couldn’t get elected even though I have the right policies. I would like to see Tancredo’s policies implemented but he has never gotten traction and even if elected woul\d he have the persuasive ability of Reagan or Palin to convince the American people to follow him and to not believe the liberal media .

You don’t know how government in the U.S. works. You think McCain will be elected and that he will be dictator and get everything he wants. No . we are still a nation of laws and to get any new laws passed even Amnesty he will have to get the support of the American people. McCain and Bush and the Democrats tried to pass Amnesty for illegals but they failed because We the people stopped them. The fact is thankfully that it is very hard to get laws passed or to repeal the big government laws already passed that created all these ever growing government agencies and programs. That is why Republicans couldn’t abolish many of these government programs or reduce their mandatory spending as they needed the support of the people and 60% of the Senate votes while they only had 51% majority not 60%.

Are you willing to vote for a socialist simply because he has an R after his name?

Either you still don't understand or refuse to accept the reality McCain is a member of the left!

Illegals are flooding the country thanks to the socialists in both parties and you're more concerned with a candidate's perceived charisma. It's no wonder the GOP lemmings are willing to settle for four more years of a President supporting a policy that is destroying and will continue to destroy the country.

You don’t know how government in the U.S. works.You think McCain will be elected and that he will be dictator and get everything he wants. You don’t know how government in the U.S. works. You think McCain will be elected and that he will be dictator and get everything he wants.

So you're saying you are willing to vote for someone who you will have to fight against a position for the next four years that you have been opposing the current President for the last eight years. It's nothing short of insanity to vote for more of the same knowing it will continue to jeopardize national security but please continue to expound on how government works.

[rurgan]

I have bashed McCain in the past but I won’t anymore because I don’t want to help Obama/Biden. Your attacks on Palin are unfair. She is conservative regardless what your spin or the media’s spin says .Palin cut spending in Alaska, puts the U.S. first, is pro-military, pro-gun , for smaller government, , pro-life.Palin is very conservative and has the leader ship qualities like Charisma, great speaking abilities, great orating abilities , great communicator etc. that a leader NEEDS to get elected and to be effective once elected. You may want to know that a leader needs charisma and to be a great speaker and a great communicator to be able to persuade people otherwise he can’t get things done. I don’t like Palin because she has these leadership qualities but because she will use these qualities to get the conservative agenda implemented, including cutting government spending.

All you are doing with your attacks on McCain and unfair attacks on Palin is help get Obama/Biden elected. We are in a propaganda war with the Democrats/Marxists and their liberal media and blogs etc. I won’t attack McCain anymore because Obama is the worst possible thing that could happen. I guess you want to get a Muslim like Obama elected, Obama who is a Marxist and an anti-American socialist and who is pro-Amnesty and will raise taxes and turn the U.S. into a socialist state. If you can’t see that Obama/Biden is worse than McCain/Palin then you are either a socialist or need mental help.

With every spin, lie and attack against McCain of Palin that you make you are helping a Muslim/socialist/Anti-American/pro-Amnesty liberal vilain , Obama, become the next president of the U.S.A.. How proud you must be of that,to campaign for your country’s destruction, and your own destruction.

[Man50D]

Your attacks on Palin are unfair.

Attempting to spin or label my factual comments as "attacks" is a poor attempt to obfuscate your refusal or inability to directly respond to my previous post concerning you supporting someone who wants amnesty for illegal immigrants. You and those who support a socialist like McCain conveniently gloss over that fact.

I won’t attack McCain anymore because Obama as President is the worst possible thing that could happen to America.

Socialism in any form and from any party regardless of the candidate is the worst possible thing that can happen to America.

With every spin, lie and attack against McCain or Palin that you make you are helping a Muslim/socialist/Anti-American/pro-Amnesty liberal vilain ,

McCain supporting amnesty for illegal immigrants, human induced global warming and restricting free speech and Palin having to support him on many of thses and other issues are not lies.
