There has been tits and tats in the news over the last couple days about who cost McCain the election. The answer to that is very apparent to anyone that is not so consumed with pouting and whining that it is almost absurd.
Palin did not cost McCain the election. Although, hind sight is 20/20, and analysis will say McCain should have done this or that, McCain did not lose the election. The RNP lost the election.
Let me say that again, so you can hear me over your whining.
THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL PARTY LOST THE ELECTION!
Yes, I said it was the Republican National Party that cost McCain the election. And the why is so petty and sniveling that it is more like reprimanding a bratty 2 year-old, than any deep, insightful analysis but the experts. For as much as the DNC was run by the extreme left this election, the RNP let the conservative, right-wing, Evangelical minority sabotage this election and it cost them big time. This may be the biggest blunder that the RNP has ever made.
The ultra-conservative, right-wing, Evangelicals were mad about Bush's compassionate conservatism; it was too moderate, too liberal for them. This very loud minority of the party was only going to play this time if they got exactly what they wanted, even to the detriment of the nation as a whole. (So not one member of the extreme right of the party has one damn thing to cry about.) What a shame that this group of "Christians" is so selfish and short sighted and down right mean, that they could not support their party's nomination for President. Looks like they missed a lot of Sunday School classes!!!
McCain would have been great for this country, he could have unified the majority of the population, he could have had the support of players from both sides of the aisle, he could have done the right thing in Iraq and Afghanistan. But, no the whiny little babies known as right-wingers wouldn't look at the bigger picture. Still, McCain tried to unite the party and appease you whiny babies by putting a compromise player on his ticket and still you whined and would not be part of the team.
To all the members of the conservative, right-wing, Evangelical minority -- you are the ones that cost McCain the election.
To the Republican National Party, you should NEVER allow such a minor group, no matter how loud they whine, to run your whole game -- you lost the election for McCain.
Enough said on the blame game, now shut up and lets do what we can to prevent as much damage as possible under the Obama Administration!!! (I personally, do not want to see a socialist America and intend to do all that I can to stop it --- what about you, do you have what it takes to man up?)
Here is what the Republican National Party needs to do;
1) stop being ultra conservatives - I don't want or need you in my bedroom or my doctor's office
2) stop name calling -- let others' actions define them
3) put the issues out in the public light -- when you get back in session, make sure you create a transparent congress so that the masses can see what Obama's really about
4) stick to your guns about fiscal conservatism -- more taxes and larger government wont help us
5) leave the pork at home -- let each issue get through on its merits and do not sell out the American people
6) listen to your constituents -- this is still a representative government you are suppose to voice the desires of ALL those that elected you
7) support our troops -- DO NOTHING THAT WILL SELL THEM OUT!!!!!!! ( I will be watching and telling)
8 ) support our veterans -- do not forsake them for a civilian police whatever he is calling his 'Big Brother' machine or for welfare checks
9) remember your place -- you are our first line of defense against becoming socialist
10) get to know your party members -- most of us are not extreme right-wingers
There are citizens that are intelligent and thoughtful, we actually understand the true intent of the founding fathers in penning the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. If you have forgotten the words go back and re-read them. But let me point out some very meaningful lines for you here;
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
We the People -- means ALL of us, not just a select few, remember that for the next election. If Obama doesn't take away that right!
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; .... But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security — "
The safety and happiness applies to ALL citizens of the country, not just the ones that think and believe just like you. It is the right of ALL citizens to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And my happiness can be different than yours. It is also EVERY citizens duty to ensure that government does not arbitrarily remove those rights from a citizen or group of citizens. We are not our brother's keeper; but we are our brother's protector.
Every American needs to remember that as citizens of the greatest nation on earth we have to right to ensure that She remains the greatest nation on earth. It is our duty to protect Her from tyranny, injustices and abuses. It is our responsibility to ensure Her continued democracy. In short it is our country and if we will not fight for Her, who will?
