Looking at the future with an eye to the past

Time to rebuild. Rebuild our party AND the media...

I said this on February 8,

"Well once again the RNC has handed us a shit candidate for president.

From this point on I am no longer a Republican. I am now an Independent, still conservative, but Independent. Being a conservative means having principles, and one of those principles is NOT "winning at any cost". And a "win" with McCain is a cost to dear to pay. And I cannot consider that event a "win".

I now know how Reagan must have felt when he said, "I didn't leave the Democratic party, they left me". And so has the Republican party left me."

McCain. The one who tried to sneak amnesty for illegals past us in the dark of night. The one whose traitorous gang of 14 made us let go of the dems throats when we had them pinned against the wall. The one who tried to defund the Republican party with McCain/Feingold, the bill that limits free speech and aids incumbents.

"This SHOULD be a major wake up call for Conservatives. The blame is to be placed squarely on the RNC. They have allowed our candidates to be filtered through the left before we even get to vote on them. A MAJOR shakeup is required at the RNC. Even in spite of Republicans repeatedly getting elected when they stick to conservative values, they somehow STILL think the way to get elected is to emulate liberals."

You'll note that almost ALL the Rino's lost Tuesday. Gone are the northeast liberal Republicans.
Mitch McConnell is still there, as is Michelle Bachmann. Prop. 8 in California passed. Conservatives or conservative ideas WON everywhere they were available choices.

Now the finger pointing and backstabbing are coming to a fore. AND not only from the libs as one might expect, but from the insiders and politicos in our OWN party. They're trying to blame Sarah Palin for McCains loss claiming she drug down the campaign.
You remember the pictures of the absolutely HUGE turnout at McCain events before Sarah don't you? You don't? That's because his miserable excuse for a campaign didn't have any turnout before Sarah. And what's more, the accusations being flung are not even issue oriented, they're PERSONAL attacks. Pesonal attacks by "unamed sources" in McCains campaign staff. And so far, I still haven't heard McCain condemn them. They were roundly condemned when they tried to bring up Obama's associations and past statements, why is Sarah fair game for personal attacks when Obama was not on legitimate issues? If McCain does not condemn these people he's even a bigger asshole than I thought he was.

Let these people man up and grow a pair. Lets see them put their NAMES behind what they're saying. They're cowards plain and simple.
