” and especially the millions of former Republicans and moderate conservatives who left the party in disgust, instead of engaging us in a dialogue, you prefer to shout at us and tell us how stupid we are.

This will surely entice us to return to your party!”

Oh, no, friend, you’ve got it exactly backwards. It’s YOUR party.
It was conservatives who stayed home and opted not to vote for “Senator McMaverick the Moderate”
see?

And Conservatives won’t have to entice a blessed thing…two years of Obamapolicies are going to drive people away from your threadbare Moderate banner.

Your base is eroding rightwards. You might pick up a few Blue Dog-type Democrats, but I suspect that that won’t make up for the legions of voters who decide that they want a real antidote to the poison and choose the conservative agenda.

Obama’s actions so far has removed the main weapon he had in attacking the Bush legacy, opposition to the war in Iraq, Guantanamo, and the PATRIOT Act. His administration is still doing all those things.

It all belongs to him, now.

And his domestic spending agenda is manifestly a catastrophe waiting to fall upon an existing disaster.

The economy is his, too.

So what’s his “hole card” going to be THIS time?

ACORN and the Legacy Media? Blaming Bush?

Think there’ll be any traction with that action?

Don’t hold your breath.
