Sadly, you are exactly right. People here are talking about some conspiracy by the MSM to silence conservative candidates and that's a crock. Voters are more informed than they have ever been. The reason that conservative candidates are doing poorly is because people aren't supporting them! The country has long since moved left culturally and we are quickly moving left economically. The right doesn't currently have someone articulate and inspirational enough to change peoples' hearts and pull them back to conservatism as we did with Reagan.
There are threads here where people are talking about who Thompson should pick as his running mate. Get a grip!!! Thompson ain't going anywhere but down! By Tuesday he'll probably be out of the race. 2008 is a wash. It is the Democrats' to lose.
At this point we have two parties, liberal and more liberal and that is what the voters want.
“At this point we have two parties, liberal and more liberal and that is what the voters want.”
Or as John Derbyshire over at National Review likes to say “It a battle between the 60% statists and the 80% statists”. In other words big government is what the people want and its left to the two parties how much they are willing to give it to them.
Your right. I thought about this a little while ago, and this is what I thought: What the Soviets could not do in 50 years of the cold war, AMERICANS are doing in one short election cycle at the ballot box. Turn America socialist and communist. Damned sad. Rome burned and fell. America is burning and will fall.
