I guess we’re going to have to take a worse butt-whuppin’ in 2008 than we did in 2006 for the GOP to get back to it’s Conservative roots.
The globalists will have won by then and it will be too late. The corporate elites who own the GOP organized this year's primary just they way they wanted. Those states with open primaries where independents could vote for GOP presidential candidates and questionable conservative states were up front guaranteeing that the most left- leaning of candidates would start strong. This will, of course, guarantee that the "free" trade and open borders proxies (McCain and his tool Huckabee) that they want in office will prevail.
"Free trade" was rammed through congress to allow these corporate elites to move their factories to cheaper labor markets and turning a blind eye to illegal immigrants allows cheap labor to move here to service all of those businesses that due to the distribution costs of their products must remain in the US. This has always been about enriching the corporatists and leaving the rest of us in a third world country with a mountain of debt. In their view, borders only serve to limit their profits. They're grifters looking for the next labor market to exploit and they own both parties now. This GOP presidential primary is not only about selecting the next president, it's about saving this country.
