It would appear that other center-right Republicans are as concerned about the continuing reactionary shift in the National GOP organization as I am. Where is the statesmanship of George H. W. Bush and the friendship of historic leaders like Ronald Reagan and Tip O’Neal in Washington when we need it? It is a sad day for center-right republicans in this country, with Vice-Presidential nominees like Sarah Palin and American heroes like Sen. McCain bowing to the pressure of John Hagee, Rod Parsley and the sinister leaders of the reactionary neo-conservative fundamentalist right.
No more states rights and only the appearance of low taxes, because it’s ok to increase the economic power of the state as long as it is on a war that has no clearly defined exit strategy. By the way, to protect your safety we can decide to suspend your liberties and make government as large as we like. If you don’t agree that we are really conservatives, we can just use talk radio and make our people believe that you are a Liberal or even worse a Moderate.
In conclusion, we want you to know that states rights still apply to abortion and gay rights. It’s perfectly ok for individual states to thwart the status quo of the Supreme Court and ban abortions through state legislatures, even though chief justice John Roberts believes abortion is the law of the land and seeks to uphold the current status quo of the Constitution. Didn’t you know it’s ok to subvert the constitution and the conservative principles of status quo and legal order when it’s in our favor?
Senator McCain, please don’t let those of us down who got you elected in the primary in the first place. When talking radio was bashing you it was us, the center-right, who backed you up.
