we are in a tough spot in 2008.
and where was “everybody” these last few years, the RNC, the grass roots, the conservatives - in attempting to groom a candidate for 2008. Who did we think we were going to run? Why are we now left with having to pin our hopes on dragging Fred Thompson off the set of Law and Order (but only after sweeps weeks complete mind you) to rescue us? We haven’t worked to develop any “bench strength” these past years. Our party has to get out there early, because we don’t have the media shilling for us, creating a candidacy out of thin air like they did for Obama. But no one on our side seems to “want it” badly enough to have done the hard work.
Alot of people here recognize that, they see the consequences of losing, and are willing to try the approach that says fighting for your issues as a part of a winning team is better then losing and struggling to hold 40 votes in the senate on every single vote, as a method of participating in the political process.
And with Rudy we can continue not working.
So what if he'd be the most liberal Republican nominee ever?
We deserve Rudy, to punish ourselves for being lazy!(sarcasm?)
