Is Conservatism About To Enter The Desert?

And roam for 40 years? Well, maybe not 40 but you get the idea.

I think it is very possible. The distaste many conservatives have for John McCain is very strong. Strong conservatives are talking about not voting for McCain. Now, maybe the reality will eventually hit them and they will do the nose pinch. Maybe not. After all, Ann Coulter is on record saying she prefers Hillary Clinton over John McCain.

Yeah, it is true McCain can not win without the "moderate voter" but he certainly can not win if conservatives do not vote for him.

Here is what I can see will happen. Hillary and her mud machine will eek out the nomination over the JFK Lama. She will then ask the JFK Lama to join her ticket as VP. That in my mind guarantees sixteen years of Dems in the Whitehouse.

The JFK Lama (the reincarnation of the mythical JFK as opposed to the real JFK) is very much like our own Russ Feingold. Despite his votes and his positions he has fooled many people into believing he is just another moderate. Oh, he is so nice!.

If one does not pay attention one might think the JFK Lama a moderate, just like our own Russ Feingold. So we will see moderates parading around with material promoting (for instance) John Gard and the Hillary -- JFK Lama ticket. Just like I saw people with gear pushing President Bush and Russ Feingold back in '04.

I am Shocked! Shocked!

Politicians put up people to ask favorable questions! Yes, I am talking about Hilary Clinton being caught planting "fake" questions in the audience at a stop. Of course politicians do this. You can be sure Hillary also has to deal with plants by the Edwards and Obama campaigns (I don't think Kookoonich is up to it too busy pulling tubes or something equally as daft). Of course, if Hillary is the nominee then she will have to deal with people posing questions to her on behalf of her Republican opponent.

I once did such a thing myself. I was asked to call in and put a question to Howard Dean. It was a question on agricultural policy and I am not an ag-policy wonk. However, the person who put me up to it was most likely doing on instruction from higher up the chain of command and the question was designed to pick on Howard Dean's natural favoritism for Vermont farmers over Wisconsin farmers.

National presidential politics is as much show business and image as it is about hard cold facts. Of course Hillary staffers are out looking for people to pitch softballs to her. Be dang sure the rest of the candidates are doing likewise.

PAYBACK!

Hilarry Rodham Clinton can not spell, and she expects to be able to run a government that does everything for us from wiping our bums to fighting our international enemies? Come on.

Joke is over. Typically, I let the above snafus go because that is what they in truth are. An oversight of a minor detail and HRC can not be expected to go over every fine detail of everything her organization does in her name. However, HRC and her primary opponents are running on the premise the government is responsible for everything from making sure our bums are clean (an exaggeration to be sure) to fighting our international enemies (well, unfortunately, for the Democrats it is more like putting their hands over their ears, closing their eyes, and yelling la-la-la-la-la). So, if HRC's organization (which is minute in comparison to the government) can not get the spelling of tomorrow correct, why do we expect she can deliver on all of her nanny-state micro-governing proposals?

As I said I typically let such snafus go, but my thoughts on payback and tit-for-tat have undergone some evolution of late. The left and Democrats pounced on Dan Quayle for his misspelling of potato so I return the favor and pounce on Hilarry. Remember, it was the Democrats & leftists who blame W for everything single solitary thing that goes wrong with any effort the US Government undertakes, Hilarry had better stand up and take responsibility for that misspelling and I even suggest she resign from the race.

I give a tip of the hat to Michelle Malkin for the photograph.
