The evil has been permeating the party for so long, people don't even recognize that it's evil. They're too familiar with it to see it for what it really is. That's why we're even having this debate. Voting against McCain, voting for the person most likely to beat him and smashing the insurgent left-wing of the party, should be the obvious choice for any conservative. The only choice.
The pragmatists don't seem to understand that the Faustian bargain they're entering into will leave us with a one-party system and absolute leftist rule. They refuse to think their strategy through to its only logical conclusion.
This is the way nations die.
Its all about compromise, we are all gonna compromise ourselves into the Gulag...that maniacal laughing in the background in Soroass,Kennedy and McCain.
True, so true indeed.
We can always run against and attack Hillary. It is far worse when the evil resides and permeates within your own party.The evil has been permeating the party for so long, people don't even recognize that it's evil.

We have been "voting for the lesser of two evils" time after time after time, each time ending up with "just a little more" of the evil -- like a boa constrictor, which does NOT "crush its prey to death" -- it just wraps around the ribs, and when the prey exhales, the snake takes up the slack. Eventually, there's nothing left to exhale, and the snake dines on his snack.
We have been blinded by the twin evils of incrementalism, and "party loyalty."
Incrementalism will get you there, but it takes a while. Sadly, we've been playing that stupid game FOR a while, and now we're pretty much there.
And "The Party" evidently cares for but one thing and one thing only: "The Party." As long as "The Party" can have power, it cares little... no, scratch that -- it cares NOT AT ALL about such trivial details as "conservatism."
The "pragmatism of power" is a world unto itself. That old saw about power corrupting, and absolute power corrupting absolutely, is absolutely true. And it's never been more evident than it is today.
Who in their wildest dreams would have imagined ten years ago that we would be living in a lockdown state, where "The Department of Homeland Security" (what a name!) would be architecting nationwide laws prohibiting the possession or use of things like geiger counters or air pollution measuring devices -- with PRISON SENTENCES for "violators"?
We have made ourselves one hell of a bed, and now we're being put to nap.
Now, I fear, the disease has progressed to the point that it will run its course. I doubt that there's anything that can be done to turn it around.
I cannot vote for any of the Four Horsemen of the Electolypse.
