The GOP is it’s own worst problem. They don’t embrace conservatism to the extent they should and need to.
I have to agree. If the McCainiac were elected, would there have been this much vocal opposition to him when he pushed his socialist/globalist agenda?
I have been saying this and the opener is exact. Thank God McCain lost.
To explain in my own words...I have little confidence that McCain would have been very effective with the house and senate majorities. His was not a conservative drive to begin with. Conservatives would have been driven further off the reservation.
On the otherhand, we would likely not have spent our way into oblivian THIS SOON. He would do more to make me proud on an international front. Obama, after this term is up, may be the usefull motivator that the 2nd worst president in American history was to conservatism.
We have to thank Jimmy Carter for Ronald Reagn. Lord I hope we have somebody to step in and Re-Reaganize this country in 2012. It may have been about time we got a wake up call from the slow bleed into socialism. I just hope we, the American people, can keep Obama at bay for his entire term. The American public tires easily and gets complacent. The worst thing that could happen for the future of this nation is that the economy take off and go gangbusters.
I am truly torn.
To think I actually supported Tancredo at one time. Another political lunatic who thinks McCain-Palin would have been worse for America than Obama-Biden.
Lets not forget this dope pulled another boner when he backed the liberal Mitt Romney for potus.
ALL incumbent has to go, get the rest on next vote cycle
Hence Palin using Facebook . . .
...and McCain is the real conservative my party nominated.
Tancredo ultimately figure out how liberal CO is and did not run again.
I strongly agree! RINOs are just as damaging politically as any other non-conservative group is, and, unless the entire GOP actually puts an end to all RINOisms for always and then fully embraces conservatism for always, the GOP will continue to be full of problems politically until the GOP eventually dies as a political party. There’s also a need for political think tanks whose sole purpose should be to end all RINOisms asap!
Mccain was pitiful. So much so he lost to a marxist. He did not have the guts to call that spade a spade. Palin was the only thing keeping it from being an epic landslide.
...and McCain is the real conservative my party nominated.
I think you forgot the question mark ....?....at the end of your comment.
McCain is no conservative. With Palin he was acceptable and a viable alternative to Obama-Biden.
Romney is also no conservative. An unprincipled, two-faced scumbag.
The real crime is the way the Republican Party selects it’s
candidates. We should have never been offered McCann in the first place.
Tancredo quit and proved he was no fighter.
Yes.
You're preaching to the choir. I'd still rather have Palin in the co-pilot seat, then Zero and Plugs pushing socialism down our throats.
Well, we have a much better chance of defeating amnesty, global warming legislation, tax hikes, and bailouts if Obama is pushing them and not Mccain.
Granted, it would be better, but the conservative revolution that is underway would have been stifled with McCain.
That all being said, Tanc was one of the many idiots in the GOP to vote for the first $800 billion crap sandwich.
Yes, it may true that even a majority of people are against reckless government spending. However, this does not translate into revision to a constitutional based government with dramatic or even minor cuts in the size and scope of government IMHO. Unfortunately both parties are too dependent/addicted to the power/money that big government provides. The middle class likes the benefits it receives and anyone who proposes even minor entitlement cuts is labeled a racist and hate monger by the duplicitous media and the Democratic Party.
Sorry, the only thing that fixes this problem of an out-of-control government is bankruptcy or armed revolt. Neither is an especially attractive option. It remains to be seen if we have the fortitude like our forefathers of the Revolutionary War, the Civil War or WWII to do what is necessary.
We are stuck in a Euro-socialist statism that means you and your kids will not know the prosperity and freedom we have enjoyed up till now. Hope I am wrong.
