Well....from the article:
“Finally, among major proximate causes there was the economic crisis of late 2008. By September, the GOP’s presidential candidate, John McCain, had clawed his way into a statistical dead heat with Obama and was even leading in some polls. But then came the collapse of the investment giants Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers, the freezing of credit markets, wild fluctuations on Wall Street, and fears of an imminent depression. As the party most closely identified with Wall Street, bankers, and capitalism, the GOP was inevitably held accountable.”
Let me translate. McCain didn’t lose because of his conservative view, lite or full strength. He lost because the GOP was identified as the Wall Street party. Which it has been. Which is something I have been b*tching about for years. Which is why I finally left the GOP after 30 years.
But you go on and do your thing. Link the GOP to the stupid ideas of the anarcho-capitalists. You know, minwages are socialism , wage and hour laws are socialism, child labor laws are socialism, worker’s comp laws are socialism, and the stop sign on the corner is socialism.
And when the GOP is sunk beyond all recovery, perhaps a few blue dog democrats like me can preserve conservatism and civilization in this country.
parsy, who says you ain’t doing your homework
Oh you mean a Democrat who lies daily about being "Conservative" then once elected goes to DC and immediately does exactly what all his Party masters tell him to do? That sort of "Blue Dog" Democrat?
So instead of a fool you are instead an intellectual fraud. A Democrat too gutless to actually admit you buy all the absurd neo Socialist nonsense your party now stands for.
