He has a long way to go to convince me his words are real and not just rhetoric.
McCain is not the way to go unfortunately because of his daft positions and initiations of the past. He just doesn't cut the mustard.
Unless he can somehow show a complete catharsis that is beyond all doubt sincere, he will achieve nothing other that to bask in the glow of a media that would love to put him up against the Clintons in 2008.
He would have to apologize with the upmost candor about his political positions of the past. This he will never do. He's too proud.
Ronald Reagan could apologize when he knew he had been wrong such as with HIV and amnesty. One reason why we loved him so is that he was fallibly human and contrite like a member of our family.
What we have now in the GOP are a bunch of political hacks that go with the flow of big dollars because anything else is viewed as risky. Globalism won last night.
Sanctorum, Weldon, Hayward, Talent and so many others, all gone because there was no articulate party platform for them to stand on. GWB and Frist maintained a weak platform for conservatives to stand on, with positions that were not refreshing or connecting us to an invigorating perspective of current events.
Well said. I don't agree with all of it, but it shows we're already trying to learn from our mistakes. Will the candidates in 2008 listen? We're in exactly the place we were before Reagan's 1980 victory. All we need now is, um, Reagan.
