The GOP is toast. We have to face the music.
I voted for Bush the first time because he was deemed the acceptable solution. Another 2nd choice in my 30+ year voting history.
Same was for 2004 although Bush had abandoned much of the campaign platform. But he was strong on defense so I gave him another pass and he screwed up the conservative side of the GOP really badly. He fragmented the conservative cause and now we really have a mess on our hands.
There are few influential people left in the GOP that really care about conservatism. The ones who care are right wing evangelicals as defined by the MSM. And we know progressives dispise religous instruction because it points out that lying and cheating and stealing and adultry are wrong. Progressives don’t believe in taking responsibility for their actions. If they mandate the government to allow unacceptable behavior then progressives are absolved from any responsibility beyond eating and drinking too much.
Bush only carried those states because Kerry and Gore were worse. Just enough worse they lost by statistically slim margins. Bush has ignored the illegal immigration. Thanks to support from the McCains. Bush forgot all about fixing Social Security. Bush forgot about spending restraints and ballooned the defecit. Now Bush is going to give us a government bailout of our stinking economy because lenders and buyers acted irresponsibly and real jobs went overseas. And guaranteed there is no Presidential Candidate who is going to vote against Federal Charity. It’s the progressive thing to do since nobody is reponsible for bad judgement.
I like the electoral college. But that is soon going to be history as well. All we need is another progressive as President who can fulfill the wishes of the United Nobodys and trade away our superpower status to appease the poor and oppressed, irresponsible because they are choking on our greenhouse gas.
Frankly, this election sucks for America. I hope I am wrong. Get back with me a year from now.
I’ve been disappointed in Bush, also. I worked very hard to help him defeat Gore, then to help him to defeat Kerry, and I don’t regret doing either. I think the country would be even worse off if Gore or Kerry had become president. Think what kind of Supreme Court we would have now if either of them had won, for one thing.
I still feel we need to keep either Hillary or Obama from winning the presidency, and I think Romney is the man who can beat them.
