Young voters swoon at his feet like prepubescent girls at a Beatles concert. Black religious charlatans like Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakhan are pimping for him from the pulpit.
When searching for answers as to how we got here in America - here being a steadily accelerating march into Democratic Socialism - there is plenty of blame to go around. Personally, I don’t see an innocent individual in the lot.
Remember the little college dimwit who wrongly thought he had a right to speak freely at a John Kerry event last year, screaming “don’t taze me bro! – don’t taze me bro!” as police officers proceeded to taze him to the ground and remove him from the Kerry event?
Being best buds with the likes of Teddy Kennedy, Hillary Clinton and Barrack Hussein Obama might buy you a few Independent votes, but it won’t do much for your core conservative constituents. McCain’s buds think Joe Lieberman is a right-wing extremist and worked to defeat his re-election…
Like most conservative writers and talk show hosts, we have been inundated with Republican reader mail describing a depth of anger and frustration we have never before witnessed, all of it directed at the RNC-MSM anointing of John McCain against the will of the Republican majority.
Whether the RNC is trying to destroy the GOP or not, it’s clear that they couldn’t do a better job of destroying it, no matter how hard they try. Making John McCain the RNC nominee is the most certain way to lose the 2008 election.
In his speech to CPAC moments ago, Republican nominee John McCain called himself a life-long conservative. But that’s not what life-long conservatives call him. His speech writers included all the right conservative buzz words. But most of them are at odds with his past performance. So, what now?
Not long ago, the idea that any of these three candidates could ever be President of the United States would have seemed insane to most Americans. Even now, most American’s are scratching their heads in disbelief and asking all of their friends, “Did you vote for them? – No, did you? – No, how about you? – No… Then who in the hell is voting for these people?”
Republicans no longer control the Republican Party and as a result, they cannot advance a truly Republican candidate through the current liberal leaning primary process.
Republicans had better rush to come to grips with the reality that all of our smart options for the 2008 election cycle are already off the table. Unlike past elections, Republicans actually had two very strong conservatives to unite behind in the 2008 primaries, Thompson and Hunter, and they failed to unite behind either of them.
Thompson didn’t fail the Republican Party. The Party that failed to present a conservative themselves, or support one even when conservatives drafted one, failed Thompson
Fred Thompson was drafted by the conservative base of the Republican Party for two very simple reasons.
• The Republican National Committee offered no other viable conservative choice
• Only a true traditional conservative can challenge today’s Democratic Socialists
The Democrat Party is owned and operated by the Democratic Socialists of America. All modern Democrat candidates propose growing the federal government to a social services giant involved in every aspect of individual life and paid for by “the rich.”
It would be impossible to understand how anyone could ever consider Hillary Clinton qualified to be Commander-in-Chief if it were not for the fact that she is effectively running for the Democrat nomination unopposed.
The fact that almost every Republican candidate wants to invoke the Reagan name as the centerpiece of their own presidential campaign, says more about the lack of their own identity and selective memory than anything else.
As far back as 2004 and the 2006 mid-term elections, I started studying potential Republican candidates for the 2008 Presidential election. Very concerned about a party seemingly void of any up and coming conservative talent, I started polling my regular readers in a nationwide search for the next Republican leader.
Days after the first 2008 primary contest in Iowa, only two things are clear. One of the following five men will be the Republican nominee for 2008 and nobody knows which one.
Champion of prostitutes, drug dealers, white supremacists and anti-war activists like MoveOn.org, Code Pink, libertarian Lew Rockwell and girl friend Cindy Sheehan, Ron Paul is raising money from outside of the Republican Party and counting on one day party-jumpers to secure the Republican nomination.
