Meghan or Reagan - The Republican Choice?
Politics Daily ^ | 5/15/2009 | Caleb Howe

Posted on 05/15/2009 9:52:39 AM PDT by absentee

Every pundit, news anchor, talk show host, journalist, blogger, Twitterer, gad about town and dude in camouflage shorts sitting at a computer has, in the last few weeks, had something to say about the future of the Republican party. The loudest and most repeated message is that Republicans are not modern; we are not hip. Things have changed, and yes we (Republicans) can, nay must, change with them. The quieter message insists that Republicans have already wandered too far toward Obama, too far away from what made the party work before.

The overall din is raucous. Are there to be purges, or big tents? Be more conservative! Be less conservative!! Punt Powell! No, pitch Palin!!

The choice is palpably plain-sighted: Follow Reagan's 13th Commandment BUT that goes for far-right types such as Rush Limbaugh as well as those who swing toward Meghan's blogs.

I don’t know why Leftist media think Megan has any chance in RINO hell of a candidacy. Regardless of everything else, she’s too young, and has more water behind her ears than Obama, and even fewer friends if you omit the gals at weight watchers.

And yet...no articles about the struggle, disarray and infighting among the Democrats.

Change (Obamas winning platform)of historic proportion is happening the destruction of America as we know it.

Its currency, auto industry, banking, constitution, housing, all under attack by a ever expanding federal government.

Less than half of the people in this country pay taxes while the parasites scream for more nanny government and the socialist are more that happy to buy votes.

I fear for the productive and taxpaying minority. I fear for the next generations of productive men and women faced with the socialist state.

I don`t know what choice they`ll make but I`ve already decided to never again vote for the lesser of two evils.Either I vote for a CONSERVATIVE or I won`t vote for either of the liberals,lite or full strength.And before any CINOs start crapping a hemorrhage,you can save your flaming breath.This isn`t open to negotiations so just STFU or kiss my brown ass, you`re not worth any replies.

Are there to be purges, or big tents?

The choice is easy1.

PURGE THE TRAITOROUS VICHY RINOS!

PURGE THE KNEEPAD REPUBLICANS!

PURGE THE SQUISHES AND MILQUETOASTS!

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to
the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no
more of those candidates who are pledged to the same
goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn’t make any sense at all."

— President Ronald W. Reagan, 1911-2004

1 I am a millennial and a contemporary of Meg'n McCain.

Choice C - We build on Reagan and make it better. I don't like hero worship, even for the good guys.

Before anything else, we need to go back to our fiscal responsibility roots. Jim DeMint did a good job explaining our big tent. It needs anchors, and it starts there.

Meghan McCain or which Reagan? Ronnie-Ron, perhaps, the one who does dog shows in his underpants? Those two clearly have a whole lot in common.

This is a choice for Republicans, not Conservatives.

This is such a no-brainer, that even Meghan knows the answer!!!

I'm still trying to figure out just what Meghan McCain has ever done to even make her relevant...why is she even given print space or air time?

Can it be that once again, the liberal, traitor press is trying to build up someone “THEY” want as some kind of leader of the opposition? This is nuts, and why would any Conservative even give this gal the time of day...certainly NOT because she is John McCain's daughter...that right there should be enough to give you “pause for thought”.
