Yeah, this is the part I’m not getting either, folks are all, McCain will damage Conservatism, they don’t seem to be aware that “Conservatism” is badly tarnished after Movement Conservatives enabled 2 Neoliberal terms under Bush.
What’s most needed now is someone to convince middle America that Conservatism isn’t a wingnut philosophy that’s harmful to America, because that’s the impression of 2/3 of the country right now.
Instead of bashing McCain, Movement Conservatives should be focused on making America understand, Bush by and large wasn’t a Conservative and that was the problem.
