So, what now, Boss? Where do we go from here?
Well, Jim suggested folks cobble behind Huck Jan. 31 (not that Huck was his first choice...wasn't mine, either)...I think Jim made a difference today & should be commended.
At the very least, the GOP is being sent a message that we care about those young folks in the womb, we care about marriage & the family, we care about the Second Amendment, we care about healthcare starting with ourselves--not delegating it to Dr. Sam Nannycare, we care about judges on the Supreme Court (Huckabee has the best position on that bar none), and we care about religious liberties.
But it'll be up to the grassroots to speak to their county & district & state & national conventions all thruout '08 to put the GOP on notice about illegal immigration and protecting taxpayers & stopping the government from reproducing its bureaucracy. (The grassroots has not been heard very well by the GOP establishment on these issues)
You might try thinking for yourself.
What we do is watch the clusterf*** we’ve helped to cause unfold by savaging each flawed candidate in order, giving us the next candidate - who is more flawed. All viable candidates, unfortunately, were flawed. So what do we do? We start “Truth Files” to help savage each one of our candidates, focusing on the bad instead of the good. This is how we end up with guaranteed loser John McCain - undoubtedly the worst candidate in the field.
Maybe we should acknowledge that people can change and not every Republican candidate has been a “rock-ribbed conservative” since infancy. What we’ve done is help prop up the guy who’s openly moved to the left (oh, it’s OK, he’s not a “baby killer,” but as much effect he’d have on that is through judges, and we know how well he does on that) instead of a guy who claims to have had a change of heart and moves to the right.
The future will be brighter. The future is always brighter.
