No what’s been evident is that the Republican party used the media to attract Independents and Democrats to
vote in open primaries, whittle down
the field to fewer choices and get the
candidate that they wanted, McCain.
I don’t think talk radio failed at anything. I think the Media succeeded in pushing McCain to the front as he is a candidate they could live with if he won.
There are many more people influenced
by cable news, the alphabet channels and the print news organizations than by talk radio, and those news organization started pushing McCain when we came out of Iowa.
The Republican Party elites sure have strange way of showing their appreciation for all the support the conservative base has given them over the years. So according to you Tom W. people who don’t tow the republican line are “Dummies. Short-sighted clowns. Fanatical, self-destructive purists who are marginalizing themselves at an astonishingly fast rate”.
People who seek smaller less intrusive government, don’t support amnesty for illegal aliens,want to reduce taxes on citizens and corporation, want to bring runaway government spending under control, support a strong national defense,
and a host of other conservative ideas. We should just throw all that out the window and support The republican nominee? As Rush would say,”SCREW THAT”.
I’m a proud supporter of the American Conservative Party and have no problems looking in the mirror when I wake up in the morning because I know I did not sell out my conservative principles just so I can get along with you and others like you.
That name calling shows some real class there Tom.
