> It is difficult to understand how the Dens could nominate someone so stupid.
Until you look at what the Republicans nominated for president in 2008.
The power elites don’t get it.
They continue to feed us progressive drek, saying, “This is good for you.”
May we continue to spew this pablum out of our mouths.
The Republican establishment has run poor candidates for decades:
Richard Nixon - Expanded the Johnson welfare state plus gave us the EPA, OSHA, end of the gold standard, plus Watergate. Are we really better off for his opening to China? Permanently damaged the prestige of the office due to his criminal behavior.
Gerald Ford - Nice guy. Finished last.
Reagan - the one good selection of the past 30 years. Also not of the the “establishment”.
George H.W.Bush - “No new taxes”. Bailouts of S&L’s. “Free” trade with China. Roll back of the Reagan revolution. In later years friend of Bill Clinton.
Bob Dole — Nice old white guy. Creature of the Senate club and party establishment. No core beliefs. Finished last.
George W. Bush — Candidate of the establishment. Like his father, a moderate running as a “compassionate” conservative. Could not command a majority of the popular vote in his first run. Could not find his veto pen. Allowed federal debt to explode. Allowed Wall Street banks to run wild. Engaged the country in two undeclared wars without funding them and without a long term plan. Would not fight his enemies in the domestic political arena.
John McCain — An old white guy with no message and a big ego.
