The '08 elections are really far out but it hasn't stopped the media
from hyping it all over the place. The left is getting Hillary Clinton.
They're stuck with her. Despite all the excitement over Barrack Obama.
But even if he did have a chance, Dems would have to pick between big
lefty number 1, big lefty number 2, big lefty number 3, big lefty
number 4, etc. The only difference between any of these candidates is
what demographically oppressed group they represent.
Oh joy. A fist full of terrible ideas but at least the left can walk
around and tell everyone that they don't discriminate on the basis of
race (unless you're white) or gender (unless you're male.)
On the right it's almost equally as bad. The current favorite is the
"maverick" John McCain. (Whereas people on the left who vote
Conservative every so often are crazy, people on the right like McCain
who support the Liberal agenda more often than not are courageous,
mavericks and just what the Conservatives need.)
McCain is in favor of amnesty for invaders and banning free speech (aka
silencing his political opposition). He's also in favor of activist
left wing judges, setting up the "gang of 14" to oppose conservative
judges. Most polls that I've looked at verify that Conservatives are
overwhelmingly in favor of the opposite of all the above. This makes
him a dog amongst most Conservative groups and a hero of the media and
Liberals all hoping he'll win the nomination in '08. Not that lefties
are going to vote for him, it just means that even if they lose the
individual at the helm will be someone advancing their views.
McCain hasn't won the nomination yet. First he has to tackle other
nominees among them, Mitt Romney from Massachusetts. What's Romney's
big Conservative issue? Socialized medicine. He's in favor of it. Funny
when you consider most conservatives are opposed to big government
anything. So voters will have to choose between the Socialized Medicine
of Romney and the Socialized Medicine of Clinton. If you're opposed to
government health care, you're out in cold I guess. You'll have another
choice in this decision: do you want to vote for Romney and be (in
Hillary's case) a sexist or (in Barrack's case) a racist or (in
Romney's case) a religious bigot?
Then there is former New York Mayor Rudy Guiliani best know for his
tenure during 9-11. Unfortunately, most people know little about this
RINO outside of that. Rudy's record on suing gun companies for the
violence in New York. His ideas on immigration also suggest that he too
would be in favor of amnesty for illegals and many other things
Conservatives will find troublesome.
How sad that moderates are the only thing that the right can muster to
throw up against the hardcore left. Cracking down on aliens, security,
judges who interprete the Constitution instead of writing their own
laws are winning issues amongst Conservatives. So naturally, everyone
is running from them.
