Would you care to speculate? I’ve heard this from several people I respect- an inkling or feeling rather than a reasoned perception- but I it interesting.

Speculate on why they didn't want it? I'm not privy to that sort of info but in a nutshell I suspect we should be girding ourselves for war from one or more of three directions - the Middle East, Russia, and/or China. This may very well lead to WWIII. Tin foiling it here, but I don't think the GOP thinks it'll blow up into a WWIII but if they don't get their heads on straight they won't be able to stop it once in motion. Foreign relations, the economy, food supplies, fuel, etc.... the whole feel of things lately has been leaning in that direction. Now that Hussein has divided the nation more and will fail miserably with his promises, our enemies will see us weakened and faltering and come in for the kill.

Well like the RINOs, the defeatists like the author of this article need to be purged from the party. Nothing easy is worth having. The MSM isn’t fair..waaaaa. Nancy Pelosi is a mean partisan....waaaaa Obama will use his DoJ...waaaaaa. So then stay home and suck your thumb wimp. Reagan did it with no blogs, 3 networks and ALL the newspapers arrayed against him. It’s easy to get negative and give up, it’s what liberals and sunshine patriots do. I think in 4 years conservatism will have fertile ground again after years of Obama malaise, scandal , apathy and God forbid foreign policy disasters.
