Thank you Mr. Reagan!!
My short list ping
President-elect Barack Obamao is the Bush/GOP legacy.
Truth is, I voted for Sarah Palin and even donated money to their campaign. And McCain rewarded me with a disgraceful campaign while he helped the people who robbed America and my retirement and investments along with my real estate business. He promised we "would know their names" and I hoped he meant it. He lied.
Bob Dole made me give up being a Republican and his wife reminded me why by running an equally abysmal campaign and giving her Senate seat to the dems. Worthless.
I don't know if the Republican party is worth saving. It isn't to me. They spent like the demonrats they ran against and more and now have given the government away to people who promise to be even worse. McCain has intensified my dislike for him beyond what I thought possible. To top it off, the "hero" and his girly men now do their best to blame Sarah Palin for their failings, doing whatever they can to tarnish her now and for the future. Some hero. I was wrong to try so hard to get him elected and if, in my efforts to do so I offended people here, I apologize.
Thanks for the post.
Perhaps these thoughts will add some spice to the debate:
I’ve long considered that DubYah’s most serious mistake occurred on Day One of his Presidency:
Namely, that he did not root out and fire or otherwise rid the Federal government of each and every Clntoon appointee/hiree that he and his Administration could ID and find!
The precedent was set by the Clintoons— you will recall their summarilaly firing all 93 Attorneys General and the White House Travel Office staff?
Sure, there would have been howls of outrage FRom the Democrat/Marxist/Socialist Bastards who seek to transform (Can you say “Change We Need?”) America into a Third World Bananna Republic.
IMHO, the furor would have died down long before the 2002 election, as did Clintoons’ AG caper.
Having wormed their way into the Executive Branch and Federal bureaucracy before the Clintoos left WDC, Clintoon’s water carriers were very, very successful in dooming his Presidency, right From the Get-Go.
I think DubYah is a good man, who meant/means well.
Howsomever, (1.) between the former Clintoon appointees/hirees who (a.) leaked all manner of confidential/secret information to a very hostile lamestreeam media and; (b.) fired multiple torpedos at his ship and; (2.) DubYah accepting WAY TOO MUCH REALLY, REALLY BAD ADVICE FRom the long time Inside the Evil Beltway appartchiks, he made some REALLY, REALLY BAD decisions that have/will cost America in ways we cannot yet fully understand.
NOBama and NOBiden were the result, and America will be a much poorer, much less wealthy and MUCH LESS FREE nation because of it.
I’ll wager that NOBama and NOBiden don’t make that mistake: They’ll very quickly rid themselves of the Bush appointees/hirees.
Any takers?
PS What we Conservative have to hope for, Pray for and work for is that the NOBama/NOBiden/NOPelosi/NOReid cabaal make a series of non-fatal (to the USA) mistakes between now and the 2010 election. The arrogant “folks” who are taking over the reins of governemnt will, hopefully, sufficiently p!ss of the American electorate to the point that Real Conservatives will be able to take the House and Senate away FRom them.
We must do all we can do to ensure that the enemies of the Real America do not get a large head start on their Anti-American Agenda and, thus, do not prevail in the 2010 mid-term election.
IOW, fight them at every step of the way!
SCREW BI-PARTISANSHIP!
WHEN ONE COMPROMISES WITH EVIL, ONE LOSES!
THIS IS ONE BATTLE WE’D BEST NOT LOSE!
Taking the House and Senate back in 2010 and destroying the NOBama/NOBiden/NOPelosi/NOReid cabaal would be some legacy to leave to our children and grandchildren, would it not?
Now look at how McCain staffers and the GOP leadership are throwing Gov. Palin under the bus.
I tell you what: if we do not purge the Republican Party of the kind of people who would destroy conservatives and trample on conservative values, then the GOP as we know it must be destroyed, and a new conservative party must be formed out of its ashes.
I call BS!
McCain lost because of McCain. When he lost the nomination to Bush, he stood in the way of conservative legislation several times just to be the darling of the media. He even threatened to leave the Republican party when the Senate was barely Republican.
We would have been better off had we said, “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”
Now that he lost, he is blaming everyone except himself. What a LOSER!
The only reason I voted for him was to free up the Arizona Senate seat for a real conservative. Now, he is still there, and can live easy while we normal people have to deal with the laws he sits in the prescense of their creation, making sure none of it applies to him.
