John Hawkins
(of RWN) has
summed it up perfectly here at Human Events.
John goes into detail about each of the following key issues:
* Bush's Approval Rating
* Harriet Miers
* If Bush Won't Defend Himself, Then Who Will
* Illegal Immigration
* Gas Prices
* National Security Slippage
* Out-Of-Control Spending
* Republicans Behaving Badly
Then he sums up:
The
bad news is that... the American people rejected the Republican Party.
The good news is that they didn't do that because they rejected
conservative principles, they rejected the Republican Party, for the
most part, for not living up to those principles. That is a problem
that can be corrected, especially since the voters don't like the
Democratic Party very much either.
Read the whole thing.
I’m just disappointed that Rick Santorum
(a great conservative and a great Catholic)
got caught in the riptide. Part of it was political payback for his
dis’ing Pat Toomey in the ‘04 Republican Primary challenge against
incumbent R Sen. Arlen Spector. Part of it is that Casey “Empty Suit”
Jr. has a famous family name
(his dad was former governor of PA)
and claims to be one of those extinct pro-life Demo-birds. I don’t buy
it, given that Casey is now beholden to the hardcore left wing of the
Democratic Party
(with John Kerry having given him over half a million dollars to his campaign).
It’s
now going to be that much tougher to get another
Roberts/Alito/Scalia/Thomas/Rehnquist onto the U.S. Supreme Court once
Stevens and Ginsberg retire
(both possibly very soon).
