I was right, you are a operative but you may not know it.
Btw, the McCain/Palin ticket was a hoax from the beginning. Frum and others from the liberal wing of the party attacked Romney from the start. They turned Crist in Florida to pull his backing from Romney just days before the primary. They rigged the voting in another major primary and they did everything they could to put McCain, a lying sack of excrement, at the head of the ticket, knowing full well he would lose the votes of many in the base and split the party like a egg.
Palin was collateral damage. She had nothing to do with it, and if she had not been on the ticket, the vote for Obama would have been a landslide due to lower republican turnout then there was.
Frum and his ilk did the same thing with Bob Dole.
The people in the party apparatus in DC knew it and many retired as soon as it was clear what was going to happen.
Politics has a cycle, just like a business cycle. Every 8 years, sometimes 12, the party in power will lose no matter who they run or what they do. There is a group of power brokers who read these cycles and know in advance what party will achieve power in the next election.
All you need to do is follow the money and Frum is a part of that cabal. Goldman Saks and Wall-street backed Obama and Hillary from the start, as did 90% of wall street. Frums readers.....His meal ticket.
Had Romney won the primary, all this would have been less predicable and they could not have that happen. They need predictability and McCain was the man they needed.
When and if you ever figure all this out for yourself, because you certainly will not listen to me, give me a shout and we will talk civilly.
