Indeed. The GOP forgot why they were the majority and decided to follow Bush down the neoconservative road. Had they stuck with what got them there they would still be the majority.
2006 tom DeLay Theres nothing left to cut in a budget featuring 31,000 plus earmarks
Yep.
2000 - 2007 John McCain, daily attacking Republicans and the President who was the leader of his party, for the benefit of Chrissy Matthews on MSNBCs Softball.
Yes. Which is why for the first time in my life I voted Libertarian and not Republican. I would have voted Constitutional Party but they were not on the ticket in California. McCain deserved to lose. It is sad that he was even given the nomination and was able to harm Palins chances in the future. She was the only thing good about the GOP ticket. Hopefully, she will lead the party out of the abyss.
I agree with everything you posted except ‘harmed Palin’.
She’s benefitted greatly from the contrast between McCain’s moderate BS hiding behind ‘I’m a Conservative’ campaign commercials, which were simply ridiculous.
Think about it. Outside of Obama, who’s gotten the most ink in politics since the election was over?
Sarah Palin. And yep, its been vicious attacks...but I recall an old saying. The worst thing in the world is being ‘talked about’. The second worst thing in the world is ‘not being talked about’.
Daily, people are talking about Sarah Palin. We see it EVERYWHERE, not just here at FR.
Those that want to believe she won’t be a big factor in 2012 are making a big mistake.
Watch and see. She hit a chord with the American people that McCain and his band of idiot campaign managers completely and totally misused.
