the problem with the conservatives in this country is – besides the entire media being against them – their self-evident lack of eloquence. how many times did obama say something in the debate that mccain bizarrely failed to answer? how easily could mccain have made an issue of obama’s associations – not to show he’s a manchurian candidate, but to show he could not possibly be “a uniter” or “postpartisan”?
these are only a few examples. rudy giuliani is the best, most forceful rhetorician in the party and for a worldview that i agree with, but for some reason he has this hard-to-resist need to be a partisan attack dog – “democrats did this! democrats did that!” this is ineffective. independents and centrists are independent and centrist because they do not want be locked into a party line or party identity. Period.
no one is better on the issues than rudy, partly because no one will speak as plainly about our enemies. the president’s primary job is not Economy Czar or HealthCare Czar, but chief foreign policy executive and commander in chief. we need someone who is eloquent on this issue – remember Reagan’s “Evil Empire” and “Tear Down This Wall”?
honestly, is that so hard to reproduce? we face cartoonish evil and a European political class who are nothing but prostitutes and professoriat languishing in the dreams of their own college rebellion years. it is absurd. these people should be skewered. instead, we get pandering and fear and these idiot preoccupations with abortion, an issue supposedly epitomizing the whole moral-historical drama since homo erectus from our conservatives.
snap out of it, fools. we can’t let these unconscious marxist libertine morons cannibalize the country.
