John McCain's Mission: A GOP Makeover
(clicky clicky)

Thank God John McCain lost the election. Citizen activists are now energized to defeat Obama's Marxist radicalism – with no help from McCain's anemic pragmatism.
Eight months into the Obama presidency the Republican opposition is suddenly thriving because of the patriotic reawakening provoked by Obama's Marxist agenda. But this Republican revival will be short-lived if party leaders ignore the real message of the tea party protesters and 9/12 marchers.
We are witnessing a grass-roots rediscovery of our constitutional traditions and a principled resistance to the expansion of entitlement spending. This resurrection of principled conservatism could never have happened if John McCain had won the 2008 election and enshrined his anemic "hands across the aisle" opportunism as the Republican Party's new orthodoxy. The last thing the country needs is another Republican administration dedicated to the "no entitlement left behind" Kool-Aid that Karl Rove and his clones sold to Bush and party leaders.

BTTT
Why is Tancredo making so much sense?!?!?!
Which they very likely will.
ping
> Which they very likely will.
Yep. They have far too much invested in the status quo.
Time for a nice, big glass of "TTBO" (Throw The Bums Out).
Rove thought he was stealing the Democrats clothes. In fact he was making their clothes for them. But now they want an updated model.
Well, don’t ‘throw out’ any RINOs that will be replaced by Democrats.
Note to tommy:
I’ve seen reagan again...she wears a skirt...
There’s a difference?
McCain is, and always was, the democrat party media’s choice to be Designated Loser.
He was a truly HORRIBLE candidate, for example allowing Obama to legally and illegally outspend him in every area.
the problem with this article is that mccain did say no to a lot of entitlement spending while “conservatives” such as Bush and DeLay said yes yes yes. He filibustered medicare part D. He was the one who went to Iowa and opposed ethanol subsidies, knowing full well that he would lose that important primary because of that position.
We need republicans who didn’t vote for everything Bush supported. Unfortunately, there aren’t that many besides McCain
About sums up what Glenn Beck told Katie Couric.

John McCain's Mission: A GOP Makeover

...I voted for Ron Paul in 08. Been hammered by some that my third party vote got Obama elected to POTUS. Good, I hope that republicans and conservatives are waking up, so I can sleep at night...
Excellent post. Thank you.
“Good, I hope that republicans and conservatives are waking up, so I can sleep at night...”
I can’t with Iran being only a couple of months before a nuclear bomb is ready
I wrote in Hunter, but they can’t lay anything on me. Texas went with McCain anyway. I won’t go so far as to thank God about his loss and for this inept moron we have in there now, but I do see the point that it has energized conservatives. Now, if they’ll just make sure that means something. And, the first stop is throwing McCain out during the primaries next year. The recent reelection of Graham makes me skeptical that it’ll go beyond mere words, but I hope to be pleasantly surprised.
...fatalism, die in sleep, draming good dreams, not night terrors...
...My biggest hope...
More like took a dive!
The tire inflation gag alone almost sunk 0bambi, till McLame 86'ed it.
See my tagline...
Would that be the McCain who supports bailouts, supports cap and trade, supports amnesty and open borders, sponsored ‘McCain Feingold’, and has said Zero is doing a wonderful job etc.. ???
I believe that the Republican primary voters will create another catastrophe in 2012, maybe by the name of “Mitt” Romney, or is that a nickname? Much of the blame for American’s decline will ultimately fall on our own primary voters.
Didn’t Laura W. Bush also laud Obama’s “wonderful job”?
McPain truly believes tht there is “honor” in losing — understood the Goldwater lesson.
McPain, McNuts, whatever we call the infamous thing is still the legacy of Republican primary voters!
Unfortunately, it didn't take a great deal of selling.
Then again, there are certain aspects of the McCain Presidency we would have enjoyed...
IIRC yes she did.
I don't like him at all but I supported him...
he's stubborn and arrogant in many ways, but he stood up for things he believed in when it wasn't popular with other rinos and rats....
anyone who says its better to have zero is nuts, 100%.....
I'll take the stuffed little prince over the Chicago mobster anytime, anywhere...
I can't sleep at night thinking that the rats, Soros, and bama might never let us vote again, ever.....
so keep thinking about your "waking" up crap....that's all it is...
this is where we are in this country...you're with us or against us.........
welcome, Franken,Cantwell, and a host of others.... all brought to you by third party votes, probably a bunch of help from acorn, too, but what the hey...you're probably all for that.....
over the years it adds up, you third party people voting in the rats....
in my county, the county pub delegates were overwhelmingly Ron Paul...and to serve their country and to show what patriots they were, they decided NOT to fund McCain/Palin posters, buttons, etc.....individuals had to come forward and pay huge sum just so the office could have stuff to hand out....
thats the kind of "patriotism" that third party people show......
ever since Perot the rats have found a clever way to get elected......get a bunch of voters to get really, really involved with third party candidates that don't have a chance in the world to get elected yet they can elect more leftist rats....
Cause he always made sense, but Republican voters drank the liberal Kool-Aid of ‘electability’, picked McCain, and lost.
Soros hedged his bets on the last elections. He also has his financial hook into McCain via the Reform Institute.
IMHO, by constantly ‘holding one’s nose’ and voting the lessor of two evils, we have aided and abetted the left in a much more sub rosa way than voting third party. The RNC just keeps sidling further and further to the left.
Well, I’m against a supposed ‘Conservative’ party betraying it’s voters and cramming down our throats a liberal agenda.
So, I guess I’m against you and your belief that this is okay.
I like that the liberal Kool-aid of ‘electability’.
We are suffering from that currently in NJ. The Repubs sabotaged one of their own, a proven fiscal conservative, for a Rhino who has no problem with illegal aliens and is running a McCainesque campaign.
McCrazy is another old RINO faux aristocrat with the attitude, “how lucky you are to have a government like ours” towards the little people.
Well Looky who’s grabbing the regimental flag and running into the battlefield.. again... The Re-Branding the GoP as so much over-warmed mush since 1992 is complete.
I’m dang sorry that Tancredo retired. He was my congress critter.
Too bad Tancredo shot his credibility by selling his soul to Slick Willard.
...Yea, I feel the same as you. Been getting the same sh!t. I cast my vote late in the day, after McCain all ready won the electorate here in Kentucky. It doesn’t matter that it didn’t matter, but we’re lumped together because we VOTED FOR OBAMA, by not voting for a repulican...
... In the Republican primaries I picked F. Thompson, he was a better actor than R. Reagon, and, might have been a better POTUS...
...Wonder who you voted fer in the Re-publican primaries? Me thinks, not McCain, maybe Palin. Seems you voted for the republican candidate, being a patriot, the best thing to do. A Democrat lite on the right side of the one party system...
...Seems it's not the delegates responsibility to fund money to ANY candidate, Paul or McCain. If I'm wrong about this, ‘splain it...
...The electorate in Kentucky, picked McCain, before I went to the voting booth. You can blame me, but, being the third party patriot that I am, I take offense that you blame all my compatriots for electing Obama, Franken, Cantrell, and the hosts of others. But what the hey...you, with yer wisdom, and closed mind, think that we're probably for all that...
A revival of the Great Right Wing... Without a party.
