First off, who are these eastern urban establishment elites, and how, exactly do they "engineer" who is selected in the primaries?
I think youre right, they supported the Palin selection because they thought it would appeal to a certain class of gun clinging, bible reading people in the hinterlands.
Secondly, do you not see the irony of using that characterization in the same post you accuse others of being no different than democrats.
Maybe Im just being paranoid but the timing of our recent economic crisis seems very suspicious to me. Why was it necessary to react to a crisis that has been building for over a year four weeks before the election?
Talk about your October Surprise, it destroyed McCains momentum and brought his campaign to a grinding halt. Could advancing the bail-out when he did have been President Bushs one last swipe and McCain and at the same time damaging Governor Palin enough to make sure that the reins of power in the Republican Party remained in the hands of people who shared his more liberal views?
I'm not sure I understand what you are suggesting... are you suggesting Bush used the bail-out to prevent McCain from being elected? (was "last swipe and McCain" supposed to be "last swipe at McCain"?)
2. Sorry, should have said "I think youre right, they supported the Palin selection because they thought it would appeal to what they perceive asb> a certain class of gun clinging, bible reading people in the hinterlands." All irony intended. I over over edited a sentence that was becoming even too run on for my tastes.
3. Sorry again, I meant "at", not "and". If I could type I'd be dangerous. GWB and McCain have been sniping at one another for years, to the detriment of the party and the country.
