From my standpoint I use these acts about him to help choose another yet stronger conservative who will be even more strident in the areas we are now weak in.
We have several conservatives that could fill the bill from Fred Thompson, Duncan Hunter and others. Are any of them perfect, probably not and as you say the key is not to destroy ourselves or even provide ammo to the rats who will surely use everything we do provide against us sooner or sooner.
Having said all that and realizing we need a conservative as our candidate we also have to juggle the fact that we don't want the Dems getting in at the top for any reason whatsoever.
Were we to find ourselves in a position of having a dem potus and congress the future of the country for the next few years would be bleak indeed.
Oh, my....Charles Krauthammer is on talking about how much “character” that John McCain has compared to some of the other candidates...ugh
I sometimes despair at the cluelessness of the RNC and other Republican leadership organizations. Do they not realize that besides the democrats, the media is our enemy? Can they not understand that the media defeated us in '06?
I have posted on this forum before that these organizations are failing in that they are not mounting a PAID media campaign to combat the liberal bias. The money that they have on hand would better be spent on defining the democrat agenda and putting the lie to the made-up scandals such as the one against Gonzales!
With the failing revenue to the newspapers and major networks, I can't see them declining to run these ads. I'm not an expert on campaign finance, but surely there is a way to get around the McCain-Feingold laws to do this.
As an aside, I look for McCain-Feingold to bite McCain in the butt in a big way during these elections...extreme karma, and well-deserved.
