A lot of that could have have been overcome if the Party had practiced conservative principles when it was in charge, and if it and its candidate had hit hard on stopping the march to socialism. Sadly, the Party had no credibility when it came to preaching conservative principles. And there couldn’t have been a much worse candidate than McCain. It was 1996 and Bob Dole all over again.
The electorate wasn’t given a choice between liberal and conservative in the last election. The choice was between very liberal and not quite so liberal.
Absolutely right!
