These people got what they wanted. They wanted McCain, they wanted his moderate positions, they wanted him to reach out to Hispanics— MCCAIN DID EVERYTHING THEY WANTED.
And now that we’ve been whooped using THEIR strategy— they jump ship as if it was OUR fault!!! LOL these people...
You’ve said it.

Including the support of Rush Limbaugh. It wasn't enough, it could not possibly have been enough. I even went to the polls here in NYS knowing that my vote was moot - if McCain won NY he would have won so many other places as well that my vote couldn't possibly matter.I even tried to make myself volunteer to do GOTV phone calling - but push come to shove I just couldn't make myself do it because McCain didn't want my support. All I would have been able to honestly do would have been negative advertising against Obama, and McCain was dead set against negative advertising.
At this point I am put in mind of the Bull Moose party, which outpolled the Republican Party a century ago come next election. If the Republican Party comes up with another candidate who is ashamed of conservatives in the next election, a second party will eat the Republican Party's lunch even if it cannot beat the Democrats. That's not a threat; I certainly couldn't accomplish it myself in any event. But I know - we all suspected this year, but didn't want to believe - that the Republican Party cannot defeat Obama or any other Democrat by nominating candidates who are above telling the truth about an opponent.
And once that has been well and truly proved, there is no going back. Republicans will nominate a conservative the next time they win. Period. My own personal vote will of course mean nothing, as it always has meant nothing in the scheme of things. But the reality I have articulated is just as real as if I did control matters.

Exactamundo.
The RINOs held a mud-pie sale and expected the Big Tent receipts to be overflowing.
MESSAGE FROM LATINOS:
"Screw-the-GOP. We want OURS."
IMO, NWO globalist political calculations pandering to the Invading Hordes failed as the presumed so-called "constituency" of "catholic social conservatives" failed miserably.
And wasn't it Tony Snow who framed the issue and claimed these people would become Republicans??
DUH.
And every group the Republican Party establishment they tried pandering to (at the expense of conservatives), spit in their face come election day. All of them. Each and every one. But hey let's try that strategy again.
