Without Reagan around because of his age and developing illness, you're right. Gingrich frittered away his opportunity to be its champion and influence a generation. At any rate, his personality was an obstacle no matter what he did. JMO.
Your point is well taken. Conservatives have a massive job in front of them to turn things around. Nov. 2 is just the beginning. We're at the point that we can't afford to lose this one.
“Our universities are staffed with tenured 60’s Communists like Ayers, and the Harvard politburo, so it’s really not surprising that Reagan’s conservative movement wasn’t sustained.”
Agreed. The Universities, aided and abetted by weak kneed Establishment candidates like the Bushes, Dole, McCain and now Romney who can’t refute the Marxist hogwash with the truth becasue they don’t believe the truth themselves.
When a Reagan or a Palin come along and begin to enunciate the time-tested truths with conviction, we win landslides.
When the Establishment tries to mouth platitudes as if they believe them, the electorate sees right through them. They either vote third party (Perot), don’t vote or, or in ignorance (thanks to the universities vote, for the Marxist.
Only a great event (September 11 and the resulting war with Iraq) allowed the RINOs to cobble together one very slim majority of the popular vote. In every other Presidential race since Reagan’s third term win in 1988, the Dem got the majority or a very healthy plurality.
Great Job, RINOs! Now take a seat. You have had your chance and have blown it. We’ll take it from here. (or should I say, SHE’LL take it from here).
