If the Republicans would have ran as anti-amnesty, fiscal conservative, social-conservative patriots, they would have won.
McCain was PRO-amnesty, robbing the GOP of a potentially election winning topic. He was a socialist, big government spender like Bush, and is lukewarm on socially conservative issues.
The RINOS told us all that we needed McCain, and now that McCain got beat by the most liberal guy in the Senate, they’re telling us that McCain was too FAR to the right. Are you ready to stop trusting them yet? There seems to be a battle for the heart and soul of the Republican party and the obvious answer is that the core principles need to return or we continue to drift towards socialism.
