Down Ticket
When fellow conservatives say they will sit out the election
if John McCain is nominated I worry. There is more to it
than the presidency. There are still conservatives running
in congressional and senate races. The seemingly inevitable
liberal agenda can be slowed at the legislative level. Think 1994.
There are important state and local races too. The presidency
does not the conservative movement make.
Presidential Primer
I’m aware of the current arguments regarding the presidential race.
One school of thought is that if McCain sides with liberal legislation the
Republicans in congress will go along rather than fight back. Are
they talking about the republicans that are either a RINO or spineless?
Up to now they have shown that hiding under the desk is the order of
the day. (If we are holding McCain to his past actions how about these
ineffective so called conservatives in congress?)
A little farther out is the thought that if a liberal agenda screws
up the economy or the war on terror it would be better if a democrat
was to blame. If we have learned nothing we must know that the
republicans will always be blamed. “It was the policies of the
Bush administration that led to this (insert disaster here)”
The Choice
John McCain is NOT a conservative. John McCain is not my
ideal or even my 11th choice. On the domestic front he is the
worst choice. However, he will get 2 things right, and they are the big 2.
The war against Islamafacism and judges. (there may be some kicking
and screaming on the judge’s issue). Neither democrat will get either
right. Bottom line. Gotta vote for John McCain if that is the final choice.
Revolting
There is a theory out on the Townhall threads that if either Hillary or
Barrack is elected then the socialism they impose will bring on a
revolt by the public. Do they know the same sheeple that I do? It
would take a monumental shift in societal structure to pull most
Americans out of their comfort zone and pay attention, much less revolt.
Voices of Conservatism
Why are so many republicans playing by marques de queensbury rules
when the democrats are street fighting? It is time for the issues and values
of conservatism to be articulated, debated, and defended for what they
are. What is with this lefty imposed political correctness? It’s time to
catapult our message over the noise. Notice that the ones who do this
are the most popular amongst conservatives. (even better, hated by lefties)
I am speaking of Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, and Michael Savage.
(also a plug here for GunnyG, a Townhall blogger who also speaks bluntly)
Solid Entertainment
On Bill O’Reilly February 13 Dennis Miller said.
‘…Hillary’s been cheated on more than a blind woman
playing scrabble with gypsies.”
I got a chuckle at that, but as an extra bonus, I got to
enjoy the joke again. The next morning I was listening
to the Stephanie Miller Show(syndicated by Jones Network)
and the joke came up in the ‘Right Wing World’ segment.
The shtick is that Stephanie and the mooks (2 guys) talk
about the news of the day in a very snarky and from a totally
left wing perspective. Being without talent, they come off as
articulate 9 year olds. Anyway, the joke came up in ‘Right Wing
World’ and the three of them didn’t get the joke. They floundered
and grasped at analogies but to no avail. It was a great display
by the humor impaired (oops, is that a recognized disability?
Am I in trouble with the PC police? Quick, under the desk!)
