		<description>&lt;p&gt;A Morton C. Blackwell quote.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Having provided that quote, let me quickly say that I don&#039;t believe we are losing!  The traitors do, though.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;At first asking us to support Democrats
instead of 2 Alaskan Republicans who suck. 
And then later asking us not to support or listen too Republicans who disagree with McCain/Palin.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The standard Communist line is that the reason they were so brutal was that they were under attack from the counter-revolutionaries.  They don&#039;t need or want the lessons of history because they deny history.  It&#039;s a brave, new World.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;and particularly with Peggy Noonan, who &lt;em&gt;previously&lt;/em&gt; had my respect and admiration ~ she does have a gift with prose.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Her treatment of Sarah Palin has been just plain &lt;em&gt;snarky!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Peggy Noonan may have wrote for Reagan, but she was no Reagan!&lt;/strong&gt;  President Reagan was hardly an effete political snob!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sexism is distasteful, but misogyny is unpalatable.  And misogyny directed from one woman to another is &lt;em&gt;nauseating.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;pro life or pro choice matter at the federal level, as long as pres/congresscritters support originalist judges.  Roe v. Wade is a legal abomination for anyone who is intellectually honest, no matter what one thinks of abortion.  About the only federal issue in the whole thing was the &quot;partial birth&quot; abortion issue.  Until it goes back to the states, the abortion issue is going to destroy everything it touches.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;they are an object of derision to me....immaterial little pieces of ELITE SNOBS...WE will WIN and they WILL not be invited to any of the conservative events because no one will buy their tickets if they are on the ticket!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;It was to help the conservative movement GET THINGS DONE.  Not talk, not opine---ACT.  Accomplish things.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As Moe said earlier in this election, when Parker first went rogue on Palin, there are two sides in this election.  Pick one.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Frum and Parker and Noonan picked...themselves.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Elections are time for action.  At some point, you fall in with your team and get to work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Frum and Parker and Noonan and Brooks picked...themselves.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All The Directors are doing is pointing that out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At a time when we needed all hands on deck, pulling on the halyards, these four decided to sit back and play critic.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you very little, Noonan and Parker and Frum and Brooks.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Good riddance.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The Directors have made a reasoned argument that some conservative voices have harmed GOP chances this election.  Moreover, they haven&#039;t behaved in a constructive way.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The biggest example of this:  tearing down Sarah Palin AFTER McCain had nominated her.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What was McCain supposed to do?  Throw her off the ticket?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What was Palin supposed to do.  Take Kathleen Parker&#039;s ridiculous suggestion that she suddenly proclaim that she needed to spend more time with her family?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How did Frum, Noonan and Parker expect McCain to act constructively on their criticism?  What was he supposed to do with their advice.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I think the Directors made a good point here.  First of all, do no harm to your side.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Noonan, Frum, Parker and Brooks must have known they were hurting McCain&#039;s chances by doing what they did and saying what they&#039;ve said, in the manner they&#039;ve said it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Of course, they have every right to speak their minde.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And we have every right to point out to them that the knives protruding from between our shoulderblades belong to THEM.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I don&#039;t think of myself as a single issue voter but I do start with abortion first and then go from there.  There is no way that I can support a pro murder candidate
even as a tactical move to get rid of a bad
republican.
The bible states that those who murder, or spill the blood of, innocents will never enter the kingdom of heaven. And to support
a person or party that is for the murder of babies is wrong, is a sin, is the shedding of innocent blood.  And I am of the belief that that same vote to a democrat for the promise of some outcome is a spiritual bribe.  God quite clearly states in Deuteronomy that &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Cursed is the man who accepts a bribe to kill an innocent person.
   How much more innocent can an unborn child be. &lt;br /&gt;
  I will not risk my soul for a politician.
  And I can&#039;t vote for a party or person
  who hold life in such low esteem.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Not quite what I expect from the site folks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While I understand the sentiment this is not a conservative nor republican point of view. It is the type of thing the left voices all too often though and I believe that is where it belongs, not on the front page here.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Obama in the White House is something else entirely.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m thinking (and hoping) that the Republican Party returns to its roots as a small-government party. Over the past eight years, we have seen government grow at a level unparalleled since Lyndon Johnson&#039;s Great Society. When the voters have to choose between two Big Government parties, they are going to choose the Democrats, because the Dems give them more goodies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Most Americans agree with the principle of less governance; if the Republican Party seizes on this and can regain trust with the voters, I think we have a good shot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That being said, there will be a lot of finger pointing going around if John McCain loses. It&#039;ll be similar to the state of the party in 1948, when Dewey lost the presidency to Truman. Taft, the leader of the Old Right, and Dewey, a &quot;Me-Too&quot; Republican, both blamed one another for the loss. That&#039;ll almost certainly happen again if Obama wins. Hopefully, the bloodshed will be kept to a minimum this time around.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;William Kristol and the Weekly Standard bloggers have been some of McCain&#039;s biggest defenders. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And in his own editorial ths week, Kristol compared McCain to Lincoln and said we must battle on regardless of this electoral result.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Not to be offensive or anything, and I know that&#039;s usually a cursor to &lt;em&gt;being&lt;/em&gt;
offensive, but weren&#039;t you guys just asking us to vote for two people who are democrats and support the killing of innocent children?  Now I&#039;m not supposed to listen to George Will or Rush because they don&#039;t like McCain or Palin?  I don&#039;t 
&lt;em&gt;like&lt;/em&gt; alot about McCain but I voted for him.  Is it just that Will and Rush are too conservative anymore?  Or is it that dissenting opinions are no longer allowed in our party?  I&#039;m confused &lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Many of the ship jumpers were at some point or another McCain supporters. Hell, some of the nasty anti-Palin leaks from that campaign come from many who would have done the same but/for. Yet McCain did something I never thought he would do and his fairweather friends certainly never expected him to do: he fought back. Bad, bad boy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is odd that actual conservatives supported McCain despite years of disagreement with him, and many moderate putative Republicans couldn&#039;t run away from him fast enough. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So there is enough potential karma here for McCain still to pull it out.&lt;/p&gt;
