What’s so ridiculous about this is that I really don’t think the campaign has any reason to be ashamed. Sure, they probably made some tactical errors. But at the end of the day, they lost by less than 6pts nationally in a year where the environment was described as “toxic” for Republicans. An unpopular President, a faltering economy, and a vicious MSM all added up to defeat this year. They gave it their best shot. No shame in that.

The shame comes in what they are doing now.

This is about TV ratings. The more gory the crash, the better. The more horrific the story, the better. The more backstabbing, sniping and outrage, the better. It’s what sells!

The hot story of the day is McCain’s staff versus Palin. In a week or two it’ll all die down and something else will be the new story of the day. But until then, there’s nothing to stop it, not while it’s on the hot list.

I just recently became a veteran of the Marine Corps, but I have a nephew who recently became a soldier and is going to Korea soon.

It is normal to worry for servicemen during a time of war, but it is another to worry because you know you have a government who wants to wave a white flag to the world.

The best you can do to help our troops and hopefully help Joe get his business, is to join in supporting the best conservative leaders for the party.

We have many upcoming leaders like Palin, Jindal, Coburn, Cantor, etc who have a track record of living and governing conservatively. Take a good look at them (avoid the MSM bias).

The left will try to prevent another Republican Revolution and we need to remain united in opposition.

Also good to see another FredHead and Palin supporter posting at RedState.

1 – He’s tired of this, and doesn’t want to publicly criticize his campaign staff, hoping it will just go away.

2 – He’s behind it and is doing it in order to pin the blame on her for the loss in order to rehabilitate his image.

3 – He’s either behind it or allowing it to happen in order to destroy her reputation and save the party from her.

4 – He’s petty and wants to get even with her for “spoiling” his chances.

I think it’s either number 1 or 3. My first thought (and hope) would be for number 1, but part of me says he’s wanting her to drown.

When “Joe the Plumber” was “outed” by the press, I became so energized to vote for anyone that was not Obama. The drive-by media illustrated that they had become obvious cheerleaders for the Obama campaign.

The behavior of the media had become dangerous instead of just annoyingly amusing.

The drive-bys were now engaging in full-fledge propaganda peddling and acting as De Facto Politburo of the new Obama Regime. So voting against Obama was duty and necessary to stop the formation of, as a Major I work with called it, the U.S.S.A. While I am not a soldier nor do I ever suggest violence as a way to achieve political change in the U.S. I do believe in this phrase “I will protect the U.S.A. against all enemies foreign and domestic” not by force but by voting.

I guess I can call it the Obama Regime, since I do remember the left calling Bush’s Presidency as the Bush Regime.

Moderate? Hmmmm. Long and hard. I would like to think I would have voted for the party but……….. I don’t think so. I would have sat out probably.
