I draw a comparison between my own Conservative Party and the Republican party with the nomination of McCain.

Here though I do not really want to use the 2 names in the same breath even though McCain is not my favourite candidate or do I support his views in total the man or rather the circumstances I quote is not fit to tie his boot laces Britain's John Major.

I long believed that the Conservatives did not believe that John Major or rather their party would win the general election (they sensed a sea change and a backlash of the Thatcher years in Britain) when they appointed him as leader I think they thought that get through this Parliament if a new charismatic leader had not emerged throw this election and regroup. It backfired Major won and then there was no regrouping and we have been out of power ever since. I fear this for the Republicans with the untrusted re Hiliary and now the race issue and unknown issues on Obama McCain could well get elected which may mean that the Republicans do not regroup and get a stronger leader for 4 years time.

I would never advocate throwing an election but you have to work all time to get the best person and even when you do not believe there is a natural successor to GWB’s mantle and regardless what you think of him or his policies he did have and still does have that ability to sway people an engage with them in way that I do not think McCain would want to or is capable of.

The Republican Party I fear thought that they did not stand a chance of winning this year similar to the thinking of our Conservative Party sensing a sea change in the country and backlash with GWB that they allowed him to get the nomination at the expense of IMHO other better candidates which maybe they felt may emerge as stronger contenders at the next cycle and did not want them associated with a loss this time.

Bad strategy if indeed this is the case - maybe I am way off beam but I believe there is an element of truth here.

IMHO go for the strongest candidate available regardless of whether you think you can win or not if he or she is a good contender even if they loose they will retain dignity and strength and be able to pick themselves up for the next challenge.

Dodd on FNS, uses foreign policy towards Iran over the past eight years and ignores it from Carter through Clinton. What a easy way to lie without lying.

Then Dodd claims Obama is an expert on constitutional law, even though he voted against Justice Roberts and Alito.

The gameplan and talking points seem to be early. I wonder if they are still sending them to Juan Williams since Juan remains a Hillary supporter?

[rodguy911]

I can't find the link but Rove has been scheduled for a rat hit and soon. We need to all get behind him when it happens.

[Cedric]

Thank you, sir, may I have another, sir?

[rodguy911]

Brilliant post Fish, but I say let the elites crash not us.

[Miss Didi]

Juan remains to be Mrs. Clinton's head cheerleader...he had a good rant on Obama this week on the Panel. It was pretty funny, too, and I actually cheered when he was done. It was along the lines of—you can't say this, you can't say that, and if you do, you will be called a racist pig...or something like that.

[rodguy911]

Plus Newt gave us the Contract for America, we need a new one! But only from someone who is willing to stand up for what they believe in! Not from these "surrender/change" monkeys we have now.

[mathluv]

Congress is what is important. It would also help if he had a decent VP.

Me outside the bar in Boston that Cheer's filmed at in 1997

Wow! I just finished watching Jon Kyl on FNC and I thought he did a great job. He actually made McCain sound good.

Unfortunately to make that stick they'll have to lock McCain in his room, but Kyl looked intelligent and quick witted while that dolt Chris Dodd just repeated the worn out talking points: 3rd Bush term, ...awful in the last 8 years, tax cuts for the wealthy, BamBam offers change. It was embarrassing it was so bad. They still don't get that Bush isn't running any more.

There was no reference to CIR, but there was literally no way to have worked it in either.

[Miss Didi]

Here it is, rod...

Conyers: 'We're closing in on Rove'

[ThreePuttinDude]

This is how she gets away with her villainous actions:

In general, the Act is intended to prohibit American citizens without authority
from interfering in relations between the United States and foreign governments.

Logan Act @ Wiki

[snugs]

LOL here is trifle I will be consuming later

[mathluv]

I heard a guy on the radio (don’t know which program - just caught it in passing). He said China had lost more manufacturing jobs then we had. That the ones we lost were primarily due to tech improvements. Has anyone else heard anything like this?

[rodguy911]

I see McCain as the ultimate politician! Not the ultimate debater! I see that as the reason he is the candidate not because of his expertise in policy thereby winning debates.
This guy will compromise anyone or anything unfortunately.

[Morgan in Denver]

Thanks, I’m looking forward to it. Rove is on here now.

[rodguy911]

Thanks so much Miss Didi!

Conyers is a rabid rat of the worst kind and can spin twist or recreate the truth in a heartbeat. I hope he doesn't get to Rove.

[ThreePuttinDude]

Oh WOW, did the inside of the bar resemble the set on the show?
I've wanted to visit Cheers, but I refuse to spend my vacation money
in a Liberal environment like Boston.

[SwatTeam]

You are batting a thousand today. I agree with you. And I’m sending money to the Iraq Vets for Congress every month. And every other real comservative I can. No money to the RNC or any other Republican organization. We need local, state and federal people who share our conservative beliefs to beat the dems and rinos.

[snugs]

Amen
