I agree that President Bush destroyed the Republican Party...I cannot see how McCain, who isn't in charge yet, can be blamed.

think the LA times should be writingt about themselves and how they are being mouth pieces for obama

[rightwingextremist1776]

YOU can’t? You can’t see how McCain stuck his fingers in the eyes of conservatives every chance he got? Really?

LA Times, the paper of information suppression. Nothing to read here. Move on.

Some moderate Republicans think McCain has sold his soul to the right

I wouldn’t trust the LA Times for today’s Sunrise/Sunset stat.

I agree that President Bush destroyed the Republican Party

We're going to catch some flak for it, but I agree with you, although he didn't destroy the party - he just weakened it greatly. His failure to understand that the "New Tone" was EXACTLY the wrong approach to take with Democrats in Washington even after eight years of their sabotage of everything he tried to do was his primary mistake, IMHO.

[pnh102]

This is correct. Aside from judges, defense and tax cuts, I can't think of anything that Bush did that was actually "conservative."

This is one of the reasons I see Hussein as more of an extension of Bush than McCain. Hussein promises far more runaway spending and government growth than even Bush and the old GOP were able to put into place.

I blame Bush the most - the buck stops with him. Leadership would have gone a long way toward weeding out the RINOs in the party. I love Dick Cheney, but at least in the second term, arrangements should have been made for him to step down & another made VP - to groom for the next presidency. Bush has left the GOP in shambles.

And maybe that will turn out to be a GOOD thing in the long run. The party needs a complete housecleaning - and shrink the tent! If they can’t do that - then another party will most assuredly rise out of the ashes of the Republican party - because if they can’t get rid of the RINOs, they will die.

Typical hit piece days before the election meant to divide and sow the seeds of discord to depress GOP turnout. It is the LAT after all that refuses to release damaging information about Obama.

[greybull]

The purge should be on hold until after the election. But there must be a purge and a return to first principles.

I found how the World had been misled by prostitute Writers,
to ascribe the greatest Exploits in War to Cowards,
the wisest Counsel to Fools,
Sincerity to Flatterers,
Roman Virtue to Betrayers of their Country,
Piety to Atheists,
Chastity to Sodomites,
Truth to Informers.

So who destroyed the LA Times?

They just laid off 75. NY Times was just rated “junk” status.

Could it be, readers tire eventually of constant liberal bias?

I do note, Fox News Channel seems to be gaining market...

[Cedric]

Another Divide & Conquer article by a desperate Dems.

Can we please stow this crap ‘til after Tuesday?

Right now, we've got a Marxist to defeat!

[J40000]

“...sold his soul to the RIGHT”???

If anything, McCain has sold it to the leftists!

RINOS are the ones destroying the party.

[DieHard the Hunter]

I think posting articles like this one, and agreeing with them, is entirely unhelpful and un-Conservative immediately before an important election.

Do you REALLY want Obama as your next POTUS? No matter what his faults, McCain will be much better for America than Obama ever could be. Obama could do a heck of a lot of real damage in four years. And even more if he gets eight.

Posting threads like this is nothing short of distributing Enemy Propaganda. If they really need to, Conservatives can sort out the GOP AFTER the election.

I don’t see how you could think it is at all “helpful” to go about moaning that the Republican Party is destroyed. That only encourages the Liberals and does not a dam’n bit of good for Conservatives.

Get a grip on yourself and stop scaring the horses.

.I cannot see how McCain, who isn't in charge yet, can be blamed

My guess is the McCain organization had a great deal to do with allowing Republican state parties with open primaries to go early in the election cycle. These primaries allowed other than Republicans to propel the angry little man to his party's nomination. It has also been suggested that if the early primaries had been closed, other than McCain would be the standard bearer today.

Reagan destroyed the republican party.

Google to see what Ron Paul has said about Reagan Administration.

A True™ Conservative is like a Jew awaiting the Messiah.

While the dems keep on winning with their imperfect candidates.

Tis why the MSM keeps publishing this same article over every election year, just replacing the GOP Candidates names.

You sure love to parrot the liberal anti-Bush venom until its turned on McCain. What a tool.

[surfer]

I agree Bush really sold us all down the river...unbelievable.
