The republicans were under orders and they had 130/100 vote against. The republicans are fracturing. The fiscals are fighting the evangelicals, McCain dismisses any republican that thinks Palin is not a good choice, etc. They are far from what they used to be. All they are now are pro life and anti gay. What happened to the fiscal conservatives? We voted them in and government bloated up. The republicans are going to have to redefine their party, being the party of deregulation and evangelicals cannot work anymore. Plus, you talk about Obama doing whatever it takes....McCain knows Palin is not qualified. What happened to the straight talk express? He fibs more than he tells the truth, he defends outlandish claims (the sex ed ad, etc), etc. The man is no saint anymore, he has no strategy. He's like a loose cannon. |
Indeed. Republicans have totally squandered their credibility on fiscal conservatism.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
