The Limits Of Sunniness

By George F. Will
Sunday, February 11, 2007

In this winter of their discontents, nostalgia for Ronald Reagan has become for many conservatives a substitute for thinking. This mental paralysis — gratitude decaying into idolatry — is sterile: Neither the man nor his moment will recur. Conservatives should face the fact that Reaganism cannot define conservatism.

She is not going to be president and will not be the Republican nominee unless the party wants to lose at least 44 states.

I disagree . I don't think she will lose 44 , I think she will lose all 57 including Alaska , Utah , and Haiti .

George Will is not alone here is another list of the Vichy Republicans:

Charles and George don’t seem to understand such basic concepts as the rule of law and rewarding people who break our laws by allowing them to stay and work here. And neither one understands chain migration, i.e., family reunification and the more than 60 million family members who would be joining the illegals already here.

I wouldn’t be surprised if George Will, Peggy Noonan and Dorothy Rabinowitz and the other Vichy Republicans will demand to see Sara Palin’s original long form birth certificate should she decide to run for president while poo-pooing those who want to see the Kenyan’s.

He was not a cheerleader for Obama. Padre, he is also partly a journalist, so if he visits Ohio and he sees enthusiasm for Obama, he reports it. He won't write that there is enthusiasm for McCain, when it doesn't exist. If he did, that is called lying.

Why would you want him to lie?

You should be able to think these things through before spewing untruths yourself.

Well, have they gone home? Are they going home? The only ones left is because of the economy? All the others are still here and going nowhere fast.

I can’t stand Georgie Will, but that was one great speech.

Pray for America’s Freedom

Dude, say what you say, I tagged his stuff with VichyRepublican back in 08 to avoid the very thing you are attempting to do..

Rehab a DC Beltway type who is more than happy to piss in Conservatives faces then expect to get away with it.

Search FR under VichyRepublican and then tell me what your view is then.

I’m thinking Newt Gingrich should be on that list. He has a lot to answer for with his bench warming with Pelosi and their AGW scam.

No, Gingrich most certainly did not support Obamao in 08 and he never stabbed Sarah Palin in the back.

In 08 Newt was urging the GOP to run a Nikolas Sarkoy style of Campaign, Reform from Within.

Appearing on a commercial for the Global Warming scam was poor judgment, but not an abandonment of Conservatism.

I have to agree with your post. Because Will didn’t support McCain enthusiastically, a few here put him in the same category as Frum and Brooks? Just nonsense.

They will go home if we enforce the law and shut off the job magnet. It is called attrition thru enforcement.

Where is the accountability for being a VichyRepublican?

Love it. What a phrase.

Do not decieve yourself muleskinner, there are links provided for some of the things G Will did in 2008, read them and then come to a decision.

Sunshine is the best disinfectant, I knew the day would come when even FReepers, even FR members, would forget who did and said what when it came to Obamao.

That is why I created the Vichy Republcan list pt I and Deux, simply to disallow that hiding space those craven cowards use to hide in.

Never forget,

There are 37 posts in this thread, I have had maybe 8 of them, if one cannot muster the effort to click on the provided links then there is nothing we have to discuss.
