if he’s demanding an apology, he’s just whining.
Sorry, he can call people names all he wants, but McCain has the right to distance himself from petty name-calling. And since McCain didn’t call on Bill to apologize, this really isn’t about Bill at all, it’s about McCain not adopting the childish name-calling that the conservative movement has now too-often adopted in place of serious policy discussion.
Making fun of Barack’s middle name suggests we don’t have any serious issues with him. Since we do, making fun of his name is detracting from our message, and it’s time conservatives figured that out.
Exactly right...
Exactly correct. Unfortunately, many "conservatives" are still mired in blaming the RINOs in the RNC for their own failings.
Perhaps it's profitable to look at our situation in terms the 5 stages of grief. Right now, conservatives seem mired somewhere in the range between denial and anger. Hence, the pissy name-calling and "it's the RNC's fault" that we see on this thread.
Eventually (or maybe not), we in the conservative movement will accept our faults and work to address them. We ain't there yet, though -- not by a long shot.
I have been saying this for weeks, but never so well. Thank you.
