[B.O. Plenty]

The fawning "respect" is truly disguising.

But...

You have to admire the old turd's passion and perseverance in pushing his destructive agenda.

If we, in the right, would have had an old "conservative lion" all those years who would have counteracted the old "liberal lion", we would not find ourselves in the fix that we are today.

[Chairman of the Bard]

Excellent points, B.O. Plenty.

What the republicans have, by and large, is “MILQUETOAST”.
While intellectual giants like Mark Levin and Rush do not hesitate for a minute to voice their views, most elected Republicans remain tepid and pensive.

If we, in the right, would have had an old "conservative lion" all those years who would have counteracted the old "liberal lion", we would not find ourselves in the fix that we are today. We did....and remember how Jesse Helms was vilified by the MSM when he passed on?

That “conservative Lion” is the person John McCain thinks HE was. THat’s why McCain never tired of speaking of Ted Kennedy, cloyingly, parenthetically, as “The Lion of the Senate”, as if hoping it would rebound off Kennedy and stick to him, and someday (sigh) someone, maybe even Kennedy himself,would acknowledge HIM as the Lion of the Senate. For McCain, this was just another example of his being in the grip of The Stockholm Syndrome
