The Corner's Kathryn Jean Lopez is a personal bellwether, so it was to her
that I turned this morning, hoping to learn that my initial fears
- that caused me to throw McCain from my living room 3 minutes
into the debate - were unfounded.

This is a fuller elucidation of what a lot of people are e-mailing me:
Kathryn, love your articles, you seem to have the pulse of the
country much more than most. McCain kissed it away tonight. Without
some unforeseen event, he will lose by about 6-8 points and assure a
Democratic majority in the Congress and the Senate, although I still
think the Republicans will hold onto about 42 seats or so in the
Senate, although with Snowe and others, I’m not sure that means much.
However, he has created the future and maybe that was his role in
everything. The same way that Ford created Reagan by allowing Carter to
win with his bad debate performance, I think McCain has created our
future with Palin. Her instincts and idealogy with 4 more years of
experience coupled with an Obama Administration (ala Carter) will lead
to a conservative revival which hopefully, at 43 years old, will be the
last one that I have to experience in my life. The next 4 years are
going to be brutal, although hopefully, the Democrats will overreach
during the first two years and usher in Republicans to the House and
Senate that understand the mistakes of the past and start acting like
Republicans. With Gov. Jindall, Gov. Palin and Gov. Romney (who I voted
for in the primary in Georgia, because I saw this coming, and I loved
Gov. Romney’s message), the Republicans will be reborn. We, as a party,
need to say never again to moderate, old Senators, or even VP’s (see
Dole, McCain and Bush 1) and start putting forward young, energetic and
idea driven governors. They have executive experience, ideas and the
ability to communicate the ideals that make our party great. I hate
that we have to go through the next 4 years with Obama at the helm. We
will be tested severely by every adversary we have in the world and
Obama’s instinct to talk and negotiate above every other action will
serve us terribly.
My family and I will suffer serious financial hardship over the
next 4 years. Obama has no understanding of those of us who work 80
hour weeks, spend countless nights away from our families to provide a
good life for them and aren’t some notorious CEO’s ( could that guy
from Lehman be a bigger idiot?).Gov. Romney’s speech at CPAC and Gov.
Palin in this campaign are the only two people that I have seen that
speak to us who bust our backsides to support our family, don’t want
Government to give us anything and understand what we are all about.
It is time for the younger conservatives to rise up, take control of
our party and start expelling the idiots like [continued]

While KJL obviously knows those sentiments, she channels me and issues a demurrer. She will not roll over and quit.

I'm not there. I still have the fight in me. You know
why? Tuesday night: What Barack Obama said about 9/11 encapsulated it
for me. As Gov. Palin might put it: He just doesn't get it. "A lot of
you remember the tragedy of 9/11." Were there five-year-olds in the
room there I missed? We all remember, Senator. And tragedy? Maybe we should elect the head of the Red Cross commander-in-chief.

I'm still confident that the good guys will crack the Jap code and be waiting for them at Midway. USA! UAS! USA!

I made it further last night then in either of the previous ones. Obama's first words were the lies that the Bush administration caused the current economic crisis. Luckily for my TV, I was...medicated and holding a fat cigar. McCain let it slide. Oh Vey!! RR would have cut this moron to ribbons.
ReplyDeleteI still can not believe this country will put this idiot in charge of the free world. He continues to make factual errors and no one says squat. WTF?
The above letter is pretty much my train of thought. Sarah has got some big ones. With 4 years of seasoning, she will be a force-she is us. Sad to say, John McCain is not. Sadder still will be the damage this idiot does do our country in the next 2 years.
Some one wrote earlier they were going to let their $150K ride in the market and at the time, I agreed. Now, on the next upwards bump, I'm exiting and going to cash and gold. Even my star, XOM, has slipped badly the past 10 months and I believe the market, which always looks forward, is looking to an Obama presidency. There are a lot of equity holders thinking along these lines and I hate selling into carnage but where's the floor going to be with this economic idiot in charge.

A thoughtful comment M - thanks
ReplyDeleteIt is idle, he rebuked me, to talk about preventing the wreck of Western civilization. It is already a wreck from within. That is why we can hope to do little more now than snatch a fingernail of a saint from the rack or a handful of ashes from the faggots, and bury them secretly in a flowerpot against the day, ages hence, when a few men begin again to dare to believe that there was once something else, that something else is thinkable, and need some evidence of what it was, and the fortifying knowledge that there were those who, at the great nightfall, took loving thought to preserve the tokens of hope and truth. ~Chambers
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. I had to share my gloom. It's worth remembering that when Reagan read these words, he threw the bullshit flag.

heh

anyway, if american conservatives really think they both are the same, maybe you need four years of Husseyn Obambi as president to taste the differences
