Massive Resistance
McCain's pronounced unacceptability. Also: Reagan communications. Big Love in Britain. Wouldn't it be ice? Plus more.

p>Putting up with McCain will be short lived. He’s certainly
anathema to conservatives, having betrayed them repeatedly in
recent years. McCain’s love affair with the media will end the very
moment Democrats select their nominee. His bewilderment will be
manifest as the media turns against him, casting him as a
malevolent dotard in the foreground, with an angry mushroom cloud
in the background. When he looks to his base (mushy headed
moderates) for support, they’ll already have abandoned him for the
media darling candidate of the left (probably Obama). Turnout for
this insipid hack will be somewhere between nonexistent and light.
If he collects more than fifty electoral votes it’ll be a minor
miracle. By the way, anyone running with him as V.P. will be
committing political suicide (see Jack Kemp). If Romney had half a
brain, he’d let Huckabee assume the (ahem) position. In short,
conservatives don’t need to sweat it. Throw your tepid allegiance
at McCain, or not. In the end, it won’t make a whit’s worth of
difference.

Mitt Romney made it official, the conservatives of the United States of America have lost the Presidency for the next four years. No matter who runs on the Republican or Democratic ticket, there will be a Liberal in the White House next year. Of course the same would have been true if Romney had stayed in the race.
p>Maybe there are still some conservatives running for House and Senate seats somewhere. Perhaps they will be elected, or not. If not, the liberals of this nation will look back on the last four years in Iraq with fond memories. They will look upon their dwindling 401K’s with remorse. And they will not be happy when they have to take Spanish language courses to get a job here. Nor will they be thrilled with the reduced take-home pay that they now enjoy after paying for increased entitlements. So I hope that most people in the nation are happy. Some of us are not. br> — Michael Tobias

Revolution is stalled in this election cycle, it is because those at the head of the movement have stopped emphasizing its personal appeal to the average American. This is not the fault of Limbaugh -- who is rightly perturbed that he must constantly spell out a candidate's conservative canada goose the ills of the major cities in the lammunity have been poorly served by decades of black leadership. They continue to reelect the very people whose policies keep them in poverty. No debate presence is going to change that. The MSM.
