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 . . .
The real crime is the way the Republican Party selects it’s
candidates. We should have never been offered McCann in the first place.
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.

A truly intelligent article - laid out with stark lucidity.

Tancredo has my undying admiration. He’s right up there with Barry Goldwater and Reagan in my book. The GOP mandarins hate him, which makes him all the more endearing, like Sarah. I think we may be reaching the tipping point where enough people realize that the GOP will not be reformed, will never be a conservative party, and the time is right to extinguish it and create a real conservative party. The GOPs total failure to identify with the Tea Party movement should be enough to make this very clear.
“The “Help (Desperately) Wanted” sign is hanging in the window. Only leaders who can speak the language of liberty and limited government need apply.”
Love it!
No wonder Rove banned Tancredo from the Bush White House.
Obama’s radical agenda is forcing the Republican Party to confront a fundamental issue it tries hard to avoid. Is the Republican Party going to seek compromise with Obama’s radical agenda to prove they are committed to the same “compassionate” agenda, or will it provide leadership based on a different vision for America?
The TANK Tancredo. Will be Gov of Colorado?
