Oh, let’s go back a bit more. Remember a little word, “macaca”? Oh, there were many on this forum who fell over themselves to pile onto George Allen because he made a mistake, then because he apologized (and actually, he probably did make a mistake in kowtowing to the media and the Dems).
Had the GOP not been so hasty to heave Allen overboard, we may have at least had one conservative who would have gone the distance in the primaries.
A valid point but George Allen didn’t run a good senate race, either. I watched all the speeches tonight they were weak and boring. I’m afraid our system is not bringing forward tough intelligent people.
Good point.
There were FReepers here who hated Allen before macaca, and IMHO helped him lose.
You’re right, but the fact of the matter is the Republican party is as irrelevant, misguided, and unprincipled as it ever has been. This is evident from many of the posts here, and the insistence on attacking their own - which has occurred here for over a year, top to bottom - is why we’ll end up with a socialist in the White House.
