My biggest complaint about them is their utter hypocrisy.
Where were the “Leading Conservatives” when the Congress became Republican, promising to overturn Obamacare, to oppose him, to massively cut spending, to do the right thing? Why didn’t they write missives THEN?
And thinking about it, when Bush won in 2000, along with a Republican Senate AND House, why couldn’t we enact CONSERVATIVE legislation THEN? Remember Trent Lott “sharing power” with Tom Dashhole? What Queensberry Rules crap was THAT?
Where were the “Leading Conservatives” then? Where was the constant articles against such nonsense by National Review then? All they did then was spout neo-conservatism, and leading us into the awful trap of nation building, which was just continued by Obama in Egypt, Libya and Syria. And Bush and his party leaders were all pro-illegal amnesty, too.
When you think about Trump, you’ll realize that the ABANDONMENT of Conservatism by these “Leading Conservatives” caused the Trump phenomenon in the first place!
AMEN!!!
