I swear to God that I’ve lost my mind over this camapaign nonsense. I want someone to show me how conservatives retake the gop. If we can’t retake the gop, can we start a third party that will replace the gop in a few years? Liberalism keeps advancing, traditional American values seem to be a thing of the past. Even when we were winning elections, we weren’t getting things done. The contract with America was brilliant. And yet the gop went from conservative principles, to a clone of the democrat party in 12 years. and now we have McCain as our front man. and we’re supposed to trust him? He’s fortunate to be running against hillary. If Obama were the nominee I think he’d get crushed.

The contract with America was brilliant.

There was a great post a few days back, detailing the history of how the GOP fell from the glory of the Contract With America. A key fact was that old RINO bozo Bob Dole got Newt to back off from the confrontation with Clinton. Other key events were cited, like Bush the First's cave-in on taxes, and his assessment of supply-side econ. as "voodoo economics." It all boils down to this: the RINO-GOP career-statist establishment doesn't understand (in fact hates) serious governmental downsizing and reform. These guys are mentally mediocre dolts--the antithesis of Reagan, with his ability to cut through BS and visualize essentials then sell them to the public. They know only how to fiddle, fumble, and destroy. McCain and Romney are simply a continuation of that folly.

....”and now we have McCain as our front man. and we’re supposed to trust him? He’s fortunate to be running against hillary. If Obama were the nominee I think he’d get crushed”....The whole fish stinks from head to tail and we get to choose Larry, Curly or Moe?
