Mickey Edwards in his new book

Mickey Edwards in his new book, Reclaiming Conservatism, describes the
Constitution as the "apotheosis of political liberalism" and it is reverence
for this document that led to the rise of the modern American conservative
movement. The goal of conservatives is to "conserve the constitution", the
most perfect example of political liberalism. The book is about how
"conservatives moved from the love of freedom to wiretaps, secret
prisons.and a presidency and bureaucracy that places itself above the law".

Calendar makers are already compiling a list of McBushisms. McCain had a
senior moment when he claimed to be a "proud conservative, liberal
Republican". Is it dementia that prompts the "common knowledge and has been
reported in the media that al-Qaeda is going back into Iran and receiving
training and are coming back into Iraq from Iran, that's well known. And it's
unfortunate." statement? Well John, just ask Joe, 'cause it ain't so. Iran
is Shia and Al-Qaeda is made up of hardcore Sunni. Make sense, John Boy?

We are on the Iraqi interstate highway headed in the wrong direction. The
nearest off ramp that will take us out of danger and save lives is visible
and within reach. Will we take it?

Make the lie big, make it simple

Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.

John McCain, in a recent interview, said that when the troops return from Iraq is not important. He also said "The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should." After 8 years of W Bush's incompetence, can we afford John McCain's? Working Americans voted against their self-interest to put Mr. Bush in the Presidency, will they do the same for Mr. McCain?

In 2000, the Republicans were handed control of the Presidency, the House of Representatives, the Senate and the Supreme Court. The results of that control has been a disastrous war in Iraq costing the soul of this country, 4,000 American lives and more than 30,000 wounded Americans. A barrel of oil is $140 and gasoline $4 a gallon. Unemployment is 5.5%, the highest in over 20 years. A surplus built by Democrats has been squandered and we now have a $400 billion deficit. Oil companies are raking in record profits.

Will voters be motivated by emotion substituted for thought, fear, ignorance or propaganda? Will working Americans vote their self interest come November, or be fooled again?
