” Has anyone thought this far down the road, or just want the party to implode so we can gamble with this silly notion about electing another Carter to get another Reagan?”
This “silly notion” is saner and more likely to work than the McCain alternative. McCain is a sure path to the destruction of the Republican Party and the conservative movement. The other, crazy as it may sound to people who just want to hang onto power for another four years, offers the hope that we can stand for something again. No matter what Republicans do, McCain is going to lose. We can either lose with him, which is the equivalent of losing for nothing, or we can stand on principles, and maybe get a few back.
Very well put.
One thing people are not considering is that as long as there is some doubt as to the nominee the MSM will not turn the big guns on McCain. They really want him as the nominee because he is such a rich target. If he was a sure thing now that would mean 9 months of displaying his dirty laundry.
I'm not saying it will be enough to cut the barriage a little shorter in duration but we all know that the more you have time to throw crap the more of it will stick
Man if anyone has crap that can get thrown at them it is McCain
