I am a 9/11 convert to Conservatism and I get the impression that the country-clubber establishment in charge of the Republican Party really don’t like Conservatives or Conservatism all that much; if they did McCain would be leading by Conservative ideals instead of poo-pooing them.
As it is, the country clubber Republican establishment is attempting to purge Conservatives out of the party in order to get the Centrist vote so why would they be interested in any ‘out-reach’ programs promotting wonderful Conservative ideals.
I understand it took Reagan several attempts to bring Conservatism into the GOP fold however after he left office the country-clubbers moved back in with middle-of-the-roader RINOs.
By country clubbers I mean those Wall Street Journal voters who want their own taxes low but do not like pro-lifers, want cheap illegal labor so their own pasty sons and daughters do not have to labor, and go along with whatever populism fad comes along so they can maintain their place in the social register.
I don’t donate to the GOP any longer however I am donating to every Conservative candidate running; unless the GOP runs a Conservative president who will lead a Conservative movement this will be the only way to buck the GOP country-clubber establishment.
That said; I’m voting for the troops and their mission even if this means I must give up Conservative ideals to pull the lever for McCain.
