Some thoughts on the current conservative crisis (part 4)

Michael Medved has written the most dishonest column in his sleazey career. Six Big Lies About John McCain is a truly amatuerish attempt to paint McCain as a "conservative" and will fool no one. After reading this garbage I'm wondering why anyone on the conservative side even bothers to tune into the Michael Medved show.

On the other hand, when it comes to fraud and deceit no one can beat the Soro's backed left front groups who produced a bogus "study" and "database" to push their own twisted propaganda: Study: False statements preceded war (AP) simply repeats the nonsense that "Bush Lied and People Died".

Some Thoughts on the Continuing Conservative Crisis (part 2)

After the Nevada and South Carolina results it is clear that John McCain is the front runner.

I didn't know it was possible, but Michael Medved managed to make an even bigger ass out of himself with this turgid piece of gloatting:

(quote) The big loser in South Carolina was, in fact, talk radio: a medium that has unmistakably collapsed in terms of impact, influence and credibility because of its hysterical and one-dimensional involvement in the GOP nomination fight. (end quote)

Thank you, Michael, for reminding everyone what a smug, smart ass, sore loser you are. Medved cannot forget or forgive those on the conservative side who opposed the Bush/Kennedy/McCain "shamnesty" (a term coined by the lovely Michelle Malkin!) proposal on immigration.

Hugh Hewitt (another open-borders nutcase) is probably going to focus on his beloved Mitt and the crucial Nevada caucas results (and will probably not even mention South Carolina). First question for Romney on the next radio "interview": "Mitt, you need to honestly tell me how anything can stand in the way of your nomination after the crushing victory in Nevada!"

The real division in the conservative movement has always been between the Country Club Republicans who have no connection to the average American (Hewitt, Medved) and the Main Street Republicans (Laura Ingraham).

Now that the chips are down and conservatives are on the verge of losing political power you can see how divided we on the conservative side really are.

Some thoughts on the current conservative crisis (part 1)

I think that we can all agree that things do not look good for conservatives in 2008. Here are some reasons why:

George Bush - By attacking the conservative base on "immigration reform" (amnesty), mishandling the Iraq war for far too long (until he put Patreaus in charge), and simply being the most inarticulate president in modern history, George Bush is the main reason that the conservative movement will suffer a huge setback in the upcoming general election.

Hugh Hewitt - It's becoming hard to listen to Hugh and his complete sellout for Mitt Romney.
Hugh's "interviews" with Mitt remind me of "The Simpons" episode (Season 2: Episode #17) where "Lisa" is forced to ask "Mr. Burns":
"Your campaign seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?" Replace "Lisa" with Hugh and "Mr. Burns" with Romney and you get the idea (Larry King would be embarrassed by Hugh's softballs tossed to Mitt!)

Michael Medved - Once again we have a "conservative" talkradio host who is a complete sellout. Medved will simply not concede how lackluster and shallow this current crop of Republican candidates is for real conservatives. But Medved's pro- "open borders" amnesty position is a complete slap in the face to the conservative base. Medved gave away his true feelings in a January 16th interview with author Robert Timberg when he defended McCain's support of "immigration reform" by saying,
"The truth is that you are not going to get 12 million AMERICANS to go back home..."
This was NOT a slip - Medved actually considers all the illegals who reside in the USA to be "AMERICANS" - with as much right to be here as native born citizens.


Laura Ingraham- I love and admire Laura for her courage and true conservative
principles. She was right on so many issues - most importantly her dissent from supporting the disastrous Harriet Myers nomination to the Supreme Court. However (insert a "butt-monkey" here), she is becoming a national scold trying to nanny us to death for not being moral
enough or "Christian" enough for her own taste. Memo to Laura - there are plenty of secular conservatives who are part of the conservative coalition who like "South Park" and who do not want to be lectured by you. And in terms of winning elections, the scolding nanny image is unattractive.

The Current Crop of Losers in the Republican Primary: Outside of Fred Thompson,
there is not a true conservative in the bunch. While I admire McCain's service in
Vietnam and Giuliani's record as Mayor of New York here is the breakdown:

Giuliani - not conservative (but likeable)
McCain - not conservative (but checkout his babe-0-licious daugher Mehgan!)
Thomson - a conservative (too little, too late)
Romney - not conservative (forget the National Review's endorsement and
look at the guy's record)
Huckleberry - I don't think he even knows (don't make me laugh)
(I'm not going to mention the last guy because I don't want to tick off his thuggish
cult-like goon squad)

A note on talkradio in Los Angeles - John Ziegler was a conservative/libertarian
host who lost his job at KFI (am640). John wrote about his experience
at THEREALFKI.COM (check it out!)
Ziegler was a voice of reason in LA and will be missed.

Finally, I'm picking up a copy of Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Facism.
Think of Jonah as a less shrill and more reasonable and persuasive Ann Coulter.
