People here are still living in denial, singing a script that was false the instant it was penned. The party simple isn't as right as you pretended it was, your issues were not the ones of greatest burning concern, and your anathemas had and have no sting whatever. Because you aren't the conservative movement nor the Republican party.
And these days, frankly, you are instead just self important whining socialist tools.
I have to agree. The base abandoned the leaders. Most Republicans, like most Americans, go along with what the mainstream media tells them.
The choice in the fall, essentially, will be Nixon or McGovern. I choose Nixon, the lesser of two socialists.
Your man McCain is not going to win this election-—tough. Try George Voinovich next time.
