You know that is probably the most damning indicator for the GOP. When a man who is labeled as an “entertainer” holds more tightly to his conservative principles than those who are elected but it isn’t the first time. It is also telling that the greatest GOP President since Lincoln was Ronald Reagan, once a Democrat and an actor. The GOP has such potential but I think it was epitomized in John McCain. He had a choice to lead and he cowered. He had a message of strength, faith, and courage he could have taken to the people if only he had had the faith in his own principles to stand up to President Bush.
We will never win if when in a crises we behave like Democrats and socialists.

Huh? Juan McQueeg "stood up to President Bush" at the wrong times (Gang of 14, close Gitmo, no "torture" etc) and also stood with him at the wrong times (Shamnesty, TARP 1, etc) all the while claiming to be a Reagan Conservative.

McQueeg was wrong more often than he was right, and aside from picking Sarah Palin as his running mate, was a complete disaster candidate.
