I was hounded day in day out with O's ads...change, tax cuts...economy. I can't recall a single ad of McLame’s.
McCain was given a softball on the issue of money(his pet peeve), but swung and missed when he tried a bunt.
The only people I knew defending us with any fire, were Rush, Fred Thompson, Sarah and surprise the Arnold.
Special mention to Thomas Sowell, he wrote some brilliant pieces, the Beltway pundits were too busy stroking their egos and protecting their A list invites.
I am disappointed, but not too surprised, because I listened to people(I had given up trying to change them).Their bullet points were the War, the Economy and Oil and they were unshakable in their belief that is was Bush's and the Republician’s fault. They wanted CHANGE and Obama promised that.
Now is a great opportunity for someone on our side to emerge as a spokesman hammering the left.
It’s a good article, well worth the time to read it. I agree with your comment:
“Romney and people like him make MUCH better advocates of conservative positions than McCain ever could.”
Romney could, and did, present and defend conservative principles. McCain didn’t. From the article “McCain was a Reagan Democrat.” I think that sums him up very well.
Huckabee is socially conservative only. He is no more inclined and able to defend freedom and the free market (”greed”) than was McCain. Sarah has the right values and is a wonderful woman, but is currently not ready for prime time at the top of the ticket. Of course, I would be much happier with her as President than Barack Hussein Obama.
