Why call it “Whig”-anything, after a failed party that can so easily be “Alinsky’d” by the media? Why not something the low-info voter can more easily digest, like “Constitutional-Patriot” party or something like that? At least make the media work for it.
And let’s be honest with ourselves — the critical mass of low-info voters is the big challenge as they are always voting for the “Santa-Claus” candidate. Think of the idiot voters in OH and KY who inflicted Boehner and McConnell on us again.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean to disparage, it just seems that conservatives are obsessed with making things more difficult than they really need to be. Just keep it simple, dangit!
Maybe I just need more coffee. Ok, I take it all back.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
The name gets me too. Why name yourself after something that was defeated and died? Although I like what the Whigs stood for and like the name because it looks back into history -something not done nearly often enough -most people will have a negative connotation that will have to be overcome. Not a good way to start.
