[Melinda]

Yes, we are garden-variety, but we are not out of the limelight, and the Left uses our own words against us every chance they get. Four letter words were left on this site for days recently on a McCain-related post. Don't think lurkers are here doing even more damage, because they are. His daughter is a flash in the pan. She's young, and older adults should just leave her alone, let the attention run its course. The more we squawk, the more the Left uses it all against us, as they don't discern the differences the same way. They use our words and soundbites as an opportunity to hit the wedge deeper into the divide. If we let it go and turn our energy to something we can elect in four years, isn't that a better use of our power? The more attention either gets from us, the more it is used against us, and diverts us from going forward. It's simple political strategy, being used against Conservatives. We are becoming our own enemy if we dwell on McCain. We need to go forward and promote a positive, cohesive message with a new candidate, even if it means a bit of compromise.

The Left will also use our silence as an indicator of our approval for their agenda.

For the record, Meghan McCain is only one year older than me and my contemporary. She has publicly claimed to speak as a representative of my entire generation, tarring all of us young conservatives as aberrations.

If you think that I am going to just sit down and shut up and let her make me, and the rest of my fellow young conservatives, look like a bunch of fools, you are terribly mistaken.

If we let it go and turn our energy to something we can elect in four years, isn't that a better use of our power?

And how exactly do you expect me to expend energy on furthering the conservatarian agenda when McCain and the rest of the RINOs are running amok, drowning out my voice with their falsehoods? How? And with his spawn claiming to speak on my behalf?

Get rid of the RINO dead weight, including both of the McCain, and maybe conservatives will stand a chance in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012.
