Morris also deserved calumny for boosting Huckster’s star just at the right moment to take out Romney and help McCain.
“McCain is free to run to the middle. He won’t get my vote regardless if he runs to Mars.”
LS, I’m shocked. I thought you were more practical and not a bitter-ender type.
I will readily vote McCain simply as a vote to stop Obama and the left-wing triumph that is quite possible if Obama sweeps. I am very concerned. I do not believe conservatism and the America we believe in will survive an Obama-Democrat majority. It will be as significant, in the wrong way, as LBJ 1964 to 1968 was.
That's the key, though. There has to be a clear message, organized around a handful of core ideas. Drill for more oil. Build five new nuke reactors. Save the young people (by saving SS and Medicare).
I'm not a "dead ender." I think there is a time for a strategic redeployment. Even Wellington moved his troops back when they were being slaughtered---to more favorable ground. Our favorable ground is to re-constitute a core minority that can block Obama and design a new Contract with America. This is going to require a serious purge of the blue-boods, and the only way that can happen is with heavy battlefield casualties. You said it yourself in your other post---Republicans are whistline past the graveyard thinking they can be Dems lite. They have to offer a RADICALLY different alternative, be prepared to pounce on Obama WHEN he falls (because he will---he's too incompetent not to) and be ready with real, energized, focused candidates for 2010.
