The conservative movement needs to recharge its intellectual batteries. They have to show the American public there is a solid set of beliefs behind it: free markets and free people, with as limited a role for government as possible. In this 24/7 news world, that's hard to do.
However, to keep Senator Obama out of the White House, McCain must win. He will be a one-term President if he wins, and he can buy us breathing time to renew the conservative movement. Don't sit out the race. Don't snipe at McCain for trivial reasons. Don't give the American public a reason to pull the lever for the donkey.
Sometimes you go out to fight with the odds against you. President Bush had mostly good ideas, but something in his personality and the people he picked alienated the American public so much they're going to choose an inexperienced smooth talker whose naive policies will lead to four bad years.
We need to regenerate the conservative movement. Free markets and free people and limited government!
“Don’t snipe at McCain for trivial reasons.”
Define “trivial.”
