The only firewall left is the House. But, with two years for Obama and the media to blame the house for the nation's ills, they will likely be swept out in the mid-terms. It's over. America is dead.
Down the road to socialism we go...Can’t wait for the U.N. to tell us what to do.
Elizabeth Warren got elected for two reasons. Romney couldn’t carry Massachusetts and this was a national election. Brown became a Democrat as soon as he got sworn in.
The country is done. No Republican should clean up the mess now. Let them wallow in it and learn how to fix things.
How will we know unless we run a conservative to find out? I mean, when was the last time that we ran a truly, unapologetic conservative candidate for president?
McCain wasn't conservative. He was Mr. Conciliation.
Even President Bush was an apologist ... he called himself a "Compassionate Conservative" (indicating the rest of us must be lacking in compassion).
Prior to that, Senator Dole was just the next establishment Republican in line. His career had been one of deferring to the Democratic majority in the Senate, not one of leading conservative causes.
The first President Bush was never considered a true conservative. He was placed on the ticket to create a coalition within the Republican party for the Reagan presidency, not because of his conservative bona fides. Do you remember what GHWB called Reagan's economic plan? He was the one to first call it "Voodoo Economics" ... Hardly the line a true conservative would use.
Which brings us back to President Reagan. 28 years ago, he was the last true-blue (should that be true-red? How about red-blooded?), unapologetic, Conservative-with-a-capital-C who ran.
Oh, and he was the last Republican who won an election with more than 50% of the vote. Coincidence?
So, how about we quit playing to the statists and put a serious conservative at the head of the ticket? How much worse could we do?
