No, the GOP leadership keeps forgetting that. Those conservatives who rose up against the GOP leaders this year were heard, just as with the Immigration Shamnesty Bill in 2007.
McCain is not the best conservative out there. But would you rather have a guy who is conservative 2 out of 3 times or a guy who is conservative 0 out of 3 times?
It sure would be nice to knock out Obama this year and then have Palin knock out Hillary in 2012. Because if we can control the white house through 2016 or 2020. Conservatives would own the Supreme Court. Most people dont realize that court is where the real power is in this country. If the far-left activists gain control of it, they could destroy our constitution. A recent poll of Obama supporters showed that 49% believe Supreme Court judges should rule on their “own personal sense of fairness” rather than what it says in the constitution. Scary!
