if we had built a conservative ‘army’ in the way Obama has, imagine the media bashing that would have occurred. If we had a candidate raise $650 million plus and forgo public financing, imagine the uproar.
This hypocritical aspect of the election bothers me more than anything. If they do it, they are lauded. If we do it, we are attacked.
The MSM are his greatest allies. There’s just so much kool-aid to go around, and new batches (more powerful) are being formulated.
We couldn’t have built a conservative army for two reasons.
1. You develop a political army around the personality of one candidate, i.e. A Cult of Personality. Think Hitler or Mussolini
2. Conservatives can’t agree on anything much less one candidate that they would all support unquestioningly.
