That much is true. Obama wouldn’t be an issue if there were a conservative running against him.
The GOP has NO program. They have returned to the time of me-too Rockefeller Republicanism. That’s why they will lose.
Incumbents running for re-election this year are screwed.
A “perfect storm” of $5. gas and heating oil, higher food prices and unemployment will be peaking just in time for November.
People are, and will be, angry - very angry.
Richard Viguerie is spot-on with this article.
This is a breath of fresh air!
Finding reasons to vote for Republicans instead of against Democrats would be a help. We have nothing to offer but fear itself is drawing dead.
Viguerie speaks truth here...and the Stupid Party won’t listen.
Simple, conservative ideas, articulated well, WILL WIN. They always do. The Republicans have forgotten that, and this is what we have as a result.

All dwarfed by the Dem corruption, including the Ohio AG, the gay Gov of NJ putting his gay lover in charge of Homeland Security, Jefferson hiding bribes in his freezer, etc. The problem here is the GOP refuses to go on the offensive on these issues.
... I know him to be an honorable man who doesn’t want to win that way.
The problem is that McCain doesn’t have a coherent set of ideas with which he can simultaneously fire up the conservative base and attract independents.
He’s a part-time liberal in conservative clothing.
Conservatives aren’t fooled by that, and liberals aren’t going to vote for a part-time liberal when they have a very persuasive full-time liberal to vote for.

I know , let’s tinker with the primary process again and just chalk this up to an anomaly.
We couldn’t have two worst choices if ten times as many people were allowed to vote in primaries without cross-over voting and all the rest of the games that have been played, all with the adoring eyes of a media that can’t report straight news.
Promise to lower price of gas--yeah, right! I see their success every time I fill up my car at double what it was BP (before Pelosi).
And although the Repubs have spent like dems, we ain't seen nuthin yet.
ON THE DEM AGENDA; TO BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE WILLING HELP OF NUMEROUS REPUBS:
1. The return of Amnesty.
2. Permanent cutting of Bush tax cuts.
3. Bill after bill on Global Warming until one passes (The recent report from UK cited need for 50+ TRILLION worldwide)
4.Continued refusal to drill ANWR and offshore because we NEED alternatives. Meantime, China and Cuba encroach on FL waters with their sideways drilling. We pay and pay, like Europe has done for years. We gradually cut way down on driving (which is the REAL objective of our would be rulers)
5. Pushing and repushing for 78 billion or so for world war on poverty (just a start) for the blasted UN leaches to suck up and would not do anything for poverty.
But hey! We will have a war hero or a minority pres.--or possibly another from the great Clinton (dy)nasty. I haven't counted her out.
Might want to take a trip to a 3d world country and look around--see what life here is going to be with Dems and/or McCain..

Crybaby.
Very few men of valor on The Hill anymore. Obama is the point man of the problem. His “Verizon” crew following at his heels hasn’t heard him yet!
PC is CP-USA, no matter how you look at it.
The querulous Richard Viguerie, for example, an influential but notably unhappy camper in those halcyon days, began hectoring the Reagan presidency almost from the beginning, complaining to the Associated Press in January 1981 that with his cabinet appointments Reagan had given conservatives “the back of his hand.” A July 1981 op-ed by Viguerie in the Washington Post, entitled “For Reagan and the New Right, the Honeymoon Is Over,” was thoughtfully timed less than four months after the President had nearly been killed by an assassin’s bullet. By December 1987, Viguerie was declaring that Reagan had actually “changed sides” and was “now allied with his former adversaries, the liberals, the Democrats, and the Soviets.” A year later, in the final months of his presidency, when it was clear to all that Reagan had fundamentally changed the terms of debate in American politics, Viguerie announced that, thanks to his tenure in office, “the conservative movement is directionless.” -- Is Conservatism Finished?
You know this so-called conservative has never been for me. Back in ‘76 he [Viguerie] and a few of his ilk had me to a secret meeting in which they pushed for me running on a third party ticket. I told them I was going to run as a Republican and that what they proposed just didn’t make sense. That did it for me–I became the enemy. -- Ronald Reagan on Richard Viguerie
Richard Viguerie is an ass. As usual. With Republican “friends” such as Viguerie, who needs enemies?
“Republicans nothing to run on?” He might consider national security, the removal of two of the most dangerous regimes on Earth - with the resulting opportunity for markedly increased world peace.
If he were only just a goblin.
nor Pelosi a witch,
Change one letter to reverse the statement.
“The lesser of two evils” is not a governing philosophy. Yet Republicans repeatedly try to seduce conservatives with it.”
Not seduced, not even a little.
