The enemy is Socialism and the aspects of Liberalism that threaten our Constitutional rights, national security, free markets, and the unborn. Only one prominent voice on the political stage is free of these adversarial characteristics. McCain is not that one person.
I understand how the numbers add up on the political balance sheet, but the GOP’s calculations prove to fail continuously - metaphorically bitch slapping those responsible isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
Look, I have tremendous respect for McCain as a war hero, and I also appreciate the many accomplishments of those we often castigate. But we’re getting hammered because of the bad decisions and misrepresentations made these same members of the GOP - period.
We can’t flush them out, and the refuse to leave. What the heck else can we do besides the therapeutic act of insulting them?
Problem is, to achieve that objective, the engine of conservatism needs a vehicle to advance its rightwing politics. That vehicle is the political party apparatus. Right now, the Republican Party is sick and shows no signs of recovering anytime soon.
Without a healthy GOP restocked with new leadership, conservatives can oppose liberal Democrats all they want, but they won't win any elections. One of the worse things conservatives can do is to hand over to the enemy more ammunition to use against the GOP. Tancredo's remarks are ammunition for the left and Beck isn't even a Republican. He doesn't give a damn what happens to the GOP. More ammunition for the libs.

Just out of curiosity, who might that be?
