Of course we'll pick it apart. His article and his entire blogsphere is nothing but bad news and doom and gloom. Who needs that kinda cr@p?
Nobody can predict what is going to happen at this point. Any possible outcome is sheer speculation. Both Hillary and Obama are media darlings who would crash and burn under a debate with Gulianni, Romney or McCain.
I'm all for facing facts, but if you're going to post some doom and gloom, at least make it from a respectable source. This is like the underdog coach telling his players before the game; "well guys, we're probably going to get mopped up... uhhh... go team..."
Democrats can't help themselves, raise taxes, fund socialism and gun control so you can't do anything about it. That's all they know, that's all they have ever known.
Fred Thompson, any republican would crush Hillary if they acted like conservatives. Let's hear Fred Thompson say we must secure the ports, and we must secure the borders. We must deport the 12 million illegals in the country. We will increase revenues to the government by further reducing tax rates. Global warming is not caused by people but by the sun and volcanoes and the oceans. Activist judges, justices must not be tolerated.
Along with the corrosion of the culture and the dumbing down of the educated, we are now to accept the diluting of the Republican Party with the nomination of a man whose own mother doesn't find him a credible conservative. (And 2/3 of whose wives don't find him honorable.)
We can do better, and we must.
Immigrants are not like the welfare recipients who rely on rat handouts to get by....most immigrants are capitalists more than socialists....again; if the Republicans lead they can get legal immigrants into their voting base- a lot of them are already there...yet if they sit around and react they are screwed...
Right now if things continue the way they are going, I would have to agree with these statements.
The Republican Party with the RNC in the lead, couldn't find it's own ass with both hands and a road map.
Sounds like Mr. Lonsberry has gotten into the kool-aid early this a.m.
I just want to see Hillary actually try to debate a person who can think on their feet. Fred will annialate her.
"It's too complicated to go into here but I believe the American people are moving away from conservative principles..."
The referendum votes against gay mariage and affirmative action and strengthening private property rights against Kelo are winning by wide margins across the country in state after state. The American people do support conservative principles. The left wing stuff is shoved down our throats by legislators.
That's because the GOP matched their lurch to the left, step by step.
Best example: democrat leaders actually called President Bush a racist murderer over hurricane katrina. No ifs ands or buts. President Bush's response was to apologize.
You know, all this "not fighting" happens for a reason. The republicans don't have any fight in them. I see the boat sinking, but I'm just one of the millions of passengers going down with the ship. The captain and crew have deserted. Leadership matters. Right now, we are sunk.
It's going to depend on how the war goes. If the surge works and Iraq is more stable come 2008 then Iraq isn't the issue and it's back to basic party differences. If the surge doesn't work and we're still mired down then the Democrats will probably clean up.
But there is one thing he can't escape. He abandoned a majority of Americans with his immigration policy, and undoubtedly lost great chunks of his base. As you said, too complicated to go into here in detail, but when you throw in with the liberal opposition you send the message to people that they might as well vote democrat.
Would that energize conservatives?
With 'Rat control of all three branches of government in 2008, you can count on the complete push of Owlgore's, Global Warming lie in stone and on our back and our children's back forever.
The 'Rat elite has no other goal than socialism. The Global Warming lie is a prime 'rat lever to destroy capitalism and personal freedoms.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
100% correct.
I'm going to take issue with your point about it "all hinging on Iraq."
The Democrats, along with their supporters in the MSM, are fixing in the public mind that Iraq is a failure. They can & will maintain this conclusion right through the election. Nothing short of a troop withdawal will change the public perception.
Liberal Democrats & the MSM are knee-jerk anti-war. They will hold together in this conspiracy. Second, they have convinced the mushy-middle to focus on US casualties as the measure of 'progress'. Notice that when US casualties drop for a period that they switch to reporting Iraqi civilian casualties. As long as the Iraqi insurgents supply the MSM with a steady drumbeat of Iraqi casualties, the MSM will trumpet this as emblematic of Bush (read Republican) failure.
What the Republicans need to do is Spread-the-Floor -- engage the Democrats on a whole range of issues and espouse conservative values. Give the voters a choice. Then we win.
