Once again there's a family in crisis, and it's conservatism. He can let it break up, or let it wither under his watch. Or he can change. Just as he learned at 40 that to keep his family he had to become part of something larger than himself, he should realize as he approaches 60 that he has to become part of something larger if he is to save his administration. And that "something larger" is a movement that has been building for half a century, since before Barry Goldwater. The president would be well advised to look at the stakes, see what's in the balance, judge the strengths and weaknesses of his own leadership, and get back to the basics of conservatism. Which again would take humility.
LOL at "let it [conservatism] wither." He's shooting at it. Hitting it with a shovel. Insulting it. Filing for divorce. Pick your metaphor, it does not resemble "letting it wither."
Look at the acrimony and insults on this board. Those are the voices of the GOP lashing out against conservatives.
Humility? HUMILITY??
Don't make me laugh.
HUH? I've watched the same "voices" you have on this board. Those voices of conservatism who line up with PEG don't represent me.
Now this reads just like a Maureen Dowd column. But since I've been reading Noonan for about 12 months, I know that she doesn't have much more to add.
Don't make me laugh.
You're giving just as good as you're getting.
Try not to be such a martyr.
I'm not optimistic, but one can hope.
"Look at the acrimony and insults on this board. Those are the voices of the GOP lashing out against conservatives."
What you said BUMP.
