		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I eagerly await Bithead&#039;s explanation how this is a genius move.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I was camping for a few days and out of pocket.
Frankly, that&#039;s not something you&#039;re going to get from me. I&#039;m a little annoyed, frankly, that it&#039;s come to this, in much the same way I would be at one of my boys who after begging for weeks for a particular toy, spends more time under the Christmas tree, playing with the friggin&#039; box.

Kristol is among those who told us that we as Republicans had to lean to the Center to win votes. In saying this, of course he ignored the lesson of Reagan who told the purvaors of such nonsense to get stuffed, in no uncertain terms, saynig to the American people &quot;I&quot;m conservative, take me or leave me&quot;.

Now that such as Kristol see what&#039;s happened to the idea of left leaning Republicans being welcomed as heros by the Democrat rank and file,  they&#039;re crying that the issue isn&#039;t the mealy-mounthed politics involved, but the campaign. 

Thing is, McCain is the embodiment of the politics Kristol wanted. The &quot;We&#039;re all americans&#039; I resepect Senator Obama&quot; and so on... all of that crap that&#039;s getting McCain booed by his own base... that&#039;s what Kristol and his ilk have been clamboring for. Well, they got it.  THeir laying the problem at the feet of the campaign and not the candidate, speaks volumes to me about how willing they are to label the problem as what it is.

As I said at my own place... can we have actual conservatives, now?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The story of Obama and Kenya alone would be enough all alone to do him in IF the MSM would do their job. 

You cant lay all the blame on McCain.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Gosh, why hasn&#039;t Bill Kristol, one of the rightest guys in the USofA, written anything on this Obama-Kenya blockbuster? Maybe if he were to write something on it, and in the New York Times (!) at that,  he wouldn&#039;t be dumping on McCain&#039;s campaign like he is. It&#039;s enough to make you weep.</description>

		<description>Its the media. There is no way a man like Obama should be where he is. Not with all the baggage from his past. I could spend a whole hour just typing about Obama&#039;s  friends, campaign contributions, ACORN etc

What amazes me is the MSM knows millions have internet access and can check out the facts on their own yet they keep going on with their half truths and lies right in our face. 

The media has seen with their own eyes examples of Obama trying to silence free speech. What do they think will happen if he gets into power?

Bitsy is too busy composing his letter accepting the offer to become McCain&#039;s new campaign boss.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Whats the point in changing now. Algore has it locked up, oops I&#039;m meant Kerry no wait I meant 0bamma........&lt;/em&gt;

I know some Republicans take comfort in the fact that John Kerry was ahead in the polls and that Al Gore was ahead in the polls.  Unfortunately, it isn&#039;t true.  Bush led both Kerry and Gore in the polls just before the election.  That Gore won the popular vote was a big surprise.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s a bit late to change the field and look stable.  The mere fact that you are throwing in the hand for 5 new cards shows desperation.  I guess McCain has final realized that he is in a poker came and not playing craps.  Too late.</description>

		<description>If you operated under the assumption that Bill Kristol is wrong and decided not to read him unless and until someone credible told you, &quot;Bill Kristol has a really good piece on X,&quot; you could really save yourself some time for more enjoyable things.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;That&#039;s odd...didn&#039;t we just hear last week about how disorganized the Obama campaign was?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Jesus, how far ahead would he be if it was organized?</description>

		<description>Keep just a minimal staff to help organize &lt;em&gt;the press conferences McCain and Palin should have at every stop and the TV interviews they should do at every location&lt;/em&gt;.

Good luck with that.</description>

		<description>Now the word is that after all of Palin&#039;s chatter yesterday about a chicken-in-every-pot &quot;John McCain Economic Recovery Plan&quot;... there is no plan.

		<description>Well, considering that it&#039;s now roughly 3 weeks til the election, shouldn&#039;t this question be rephrased as: &quot;Should McCain just give up?&quot; Because really - if Obama doesn&#039;t have a stroke or something and just keeps doing what he&#039;s been doing, is there really &lt;em&gt;any &lt;/em&gt;tactic McCain could use that would overcome his current deficit?</description>
