One of the best ways to chock off a new effort, is to convince folks you’re on their side when you aren’t.

We blame the Dems for demonizing the Tea Party, but we’re not nearly as quick to take the liberal Republicans to task for telling the Tea Party they are on their side, when they clearly aren’t.

Some folks told the Tea Party, that John McCain was their best buddy. Some folks who did this, told the Tea Party they were their best friend, when telling them about McCain made it crystal clear they weren’t.

Now here comes Newt. We’ve seen it before countless times. Daddy Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain, Schwarzenegger... the list is long. While a lot of folks will see through a lot of this, some folks like myself will be fooled into buying off on someone and hoping once in a while.

Generally there are just enough people buying off, to defeat Conservatism. I sure hate playing into that, but there are times when I blow it too.

Conservatism is a great outlook. Too bad it is so easily defeated by people who don’t understand what it is, and don’t really give a damn as long as they are voting straight (R).

As I said, some folks will make mistakes once in a while, and others make a lifetime of it. Newt is one of them.
