Some thoughts on the current conservative crisis (part 5)

Peggy Noonan backs up the Conservative Crisis blog with this column:


(quote) On the pundit civil wars, Rush Limbaugh declared on the radio this week, "I'm here to tell you, if either of these two guys [Mr. McCain or Mike Huckabee] get the nomination, it's going to destroy the Republican Party. It's going to change it forever, be the end of it!"
This is absurd. George W. Bush destroyed the Republican Party, by which I mean he sundered it, broke its constituent pieces apart and set them against each other. He did this on spending, the size of government, war, the ability to prosecute war, immigration and other issues.
Were there other causes? Yes, of course. But there was an immediate and essential cause.
And this needs saying, because if you don't know what broke the elephant you can't put it together again. The party cannot re-find itself if it can't trace back the moment at which it became lost. It cannot heal an illness whose origin is kept obscure. (end quote)

See my first post on the Conservative Crisis: Some thoughts on the current conservative crisis (part 1) where I list George Bush as the FIRST big problem.

Thanks Peg!

And thank you Rush Limbaugh for being one of the few honest talk radio hosts on the conservative side who can honestly face the truth. Too bad that Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt continue to lie about what is really happening in the Republican party. At this point MM and HH have lost all credibility and simply cannot be trusted anymore.
