McCain will not carry twelve states.
The GOP will be reeling the day after the election. Time to entirely remake the party.
This is our time in the Wilderness. Churchill had his, we will now have ours. Our job will be to find our Churchill.
I’m a lifelong staunch conservative Republican. I’m definitely not a John McCain fan. I think he has done serious damage to the conservative/Republican cause.
However, I think it’s irresponsible for a conservative/Republican to not vote for President this year or to vote for the Democratic or a third party candidate.
Either Clinton or Obama will certainly try to get national health care implemented and also very likely withdraw from Iraq precipitously. If these things are done there is no way a Republican subsequently elected can unwind them. Say what you will about McCain but he will do neither of these things,
It is imperative that McCain be elected, however distasteful that may be.
Either remake the party or create a new REAL conservative one if this one continues to be dem lite.
McCain will not carry twelve states.
With the loss of the conservative base...McCain will be fighting for liberals and moderates w the DNC nom. That is a loser strategy
I have posted that before; that we are in our "Wilderness Years" as conservatives.
As for our "Churchill", I am hoping to see great things from Bobby Jindal in Louisiana and he is definitely someone I could get excited about. I keep hearing people pushing his name for Veep; but, I would rather he do some hard work in Louisiana that he can point to, and then run in 2012.
My other fear is that deep in my gut I've been feeling that we are about to revisit the 1970s; and, I don't think it matters whether its HRC, Obama or McCain. None of them are good on domestic economic issues. We actually need someone like Romney to handle the softening economy; but, instead the American people seem to be in the mood for another "holiday from history" (as Steyn puts it).
Could NOT have been better stated.
Churchill did indeed have his time in the wilderness. Reagan did too.
What I find so disconcerting about this is that there IS such a thing as conservative media. In Nixon’s day, what did he have? William Buckley was still getting going if I recall - even recruited Lieberman to run against the RINO Lowell Weicker in Connecticut. Lowell was a RINO before it was even a acronym.
