[A CA Guy]

Despite what Rush said, there was a two year nonstop effort by the drive by media to report everything in the war as a disaster despite the US Military winning every battle.
Despite the best economy of all time right this moment, highest stock market and lowered gas prices the press in my opinion managed to create a false impression that won the day for the Democrats.

Rush said the press wasn't the issue, then he went on for 20 minutes taking about the press influencing the elecion over the last two years.

Bottom line is the press gives a 3 billion dollar shot in the arm in free help every year.
We can be happy to at least know more people are seeing through this and they are dying out.
The reason they are effective enough this election is the younger new voters who don't know any better aren't educated and get snookered by believing all they hear in my opinion.

I agree with Rush that it is time to go back to what conservatism is for all future candidates.

I like the President on the war and tax cuts. I have hated him on prescription drugs and illegal immigration.

Our future candidates in regular states need to be more conservative.

In states in California shows you need to be more than just conservative, you need to be a good at marketing and likable.
McClintock has shown he is unmarketable despite some good views. (Perception and some slamming Democrat ads killed him IMO)

It is a watershed moment.

We need the type of guys who brought us the Contract With America.

Except that those guys in 94 could not get in done either, and lost 2 years later for trying to "do to much". The MSM destroyed them.

It's always the same, the "real" Conservatives pander to the MSM/DNC party, constantly throwing someone under the bus, then wonder why they have no leaders.

Well, they have really done it this time, the "real" Conservative voters have handed power back to the MSM/DNC.

Instead of destroying the MSM, they would rather labor in the minority, and wait for another Knight in Shining Armor.

But listen to everyone here -- if you list them (ie Newt) =-- they have "baggage" (meaning the MSM will bash them)

We need the type of guys who brought us the Contract With America.

To bad we are going to get "centrists". Get ready for the Lizard Queen/sarc

[longtermmemmory]

We need a Coach Newt to orchestrate a contract with America II.

(or one like him)

No way in heck can a McCain or Guiliani do that.


I see Amnesty, I see tax hikes, I see race quotas, I see sex politics, I see a renewal of the assault weapons ban,


It would not surprise me if pelosi's solution to the military is to force the military to accept homosexuals.
