Exactly, it was the MODERATE RINOS who got us into this mess.
The “social conservatives” have been riding the back of the GOP bus the past 8 years while the NRO types have driven us over the cliff.
Not all the NRO types are bad. Most of those guys are great. David Frum, however, is not one of my favorites.
I think it’s clear at this point that the David Frum and Michael Gerson-inspired “compassionate conservatism” has been a disaster for the GOP. Under Bush, the GOP lost its identity as a small government party. I would prefer people like Dick Armey, Newt Gingrich, Jim DeMint, Sarah Palin, and Fred Thompson be in leadership positions.
