Politically Homeless
What a depressing evening. With McCain’s Florida primary victory last night, the Republican nomination is now his to lose. In November, conservatives won’t have a horse in the race. What’s the point of voting?
With the Republican party now going liberal, it creates a conservative vacuum, which a third party could fill. Henry Gomez over at Babalublog.com doesn’t see this as a viable option.
A third party is not an option. There aren’t enough conservatives to ever win a general election. Plus it would create a mess in congress. No, what we need to do is take our medicine, a strong dose of Hillary Clinton and socialism for 4 years so that the party can once again galvinize [sic] around conservatism.
That’s beginning to seem like the the sad and sobering reality. What’s the point of sending a run-of-the-mill liberal (McCain) to Washington? Let ‘em have a liberal fascist (Hillary/Obama). Seems like the country needs a tangible reminder of socialism’s failures (Carter era) before it rejects it again.
Come August, the Republican party will be led by a liberal, leaving conservatives politically homeless. And so I’m changing my party affiliation to none. I am Republican no more.
