If elected Clinton or Obama would not be the head of the Conservative movement. If elected, John McCain would be.
As consumate leftists elected to lead the nation as a liberal, neither of these two could do the damage to Conservatism that a leftist John McCain could from within the Conservative movement itself.
Say what you will, I see that as a very big problem.
” neither of these two could do the damage to Conservatism that a leftist John McCain could from within the Conservative movement itself.”
Kidding, right? Obama is financed by George Soros. His buddies are old SDS and Weathermen. He has the appearance of giving Hamas and Iran a do-good. He did fire his advisor who contacted Hamas, but that was probably a cosmetic “Oh! WTF! We got caught” moment.
This guy has so much baggage and so many bad elements surrounding him that I doubt, sincerely, the country could survive four years of him. Dickie Durbin and his cronies are socialists.
“The Global Poverty Act,” has just been rushed through the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, with the assistance of Democratic Senator Joe Biden, the chairman, and Republican Senator Richard Lugar. The legislation (S.2433) commits the U.S. to spending hundreds of billions of dollars more in foreign aid on the rest of the world, in order to comply with the “Millennium Goals” established by the United Nations. Conservative members of the committee were largely caught off-guard by the move to pass the Obama bill but are putting a “hold” on it, in order to try to prevent the legislation, which also quickly passed the House, from being quickly brought up for a full Senate vote.”
The European socialists are also running Obama.
We cannot stand four years of this guy. The country will never recover from it as it takes years and years to undo damage and sometimes it never heals.
“If elected Clinton or Obama would not be the head of the Conservative movement. If elected, John McCain would be.”
Who’s the head of the Conservative movenment now? It’s certainly not the President and I don’t see a reason to believe it will be the President when McCain gets elected.
I think even McCain would refute that statement. He would nod to 'the conservative movement' but he'd never claim it.
Once elected, he'll drop any pretense.
Shouldn’t the question be who will do the greatest damage to America not to an ideology? There’s a sense here and elsewhere that an Obama presidency would be so bad that a conservative movement would swell and drive him from office in 2012. Smilar things were said in ‘32 about a resurgent GOP rebounding on the heels of the failing New Deal. What wasn’t realized was that FDR would use tax revenue and borrowing to buy votes for a generation. Obama will do the same and solidify a Dem majority for another generation.
I don't agree. The Conservative movement is bigger than the GOP candidate for president.
Other than Reagan, have we EVER had a Republican president as head of the conservative movement?
