The Future Awaits the Bold

"Exit stage right" which is the left side of the stage from the audience's point of view. I think that is McCain's problem. From his point of view he thinks he's a maverick conservative, but from anyone else's point of view he's a limp wristed proto-liberal RINO with military credentials. Ho Hum! That being said there is a war on for the soul of the Republican Party, the remnants of Bush and McCain's helpful ministrations in reinventing the party to look like Democrat-light. I'm sorry. That's not what we need. We need a return to principle. SEE HERE

You know, "principles" — those rules by which we live grounded in our experience and knowledge of the Good! Socrates, Plato and Aristotle would know what I'm talking about, but damn few of our modern day politicians seem to know. The Republican Party sends me surveys to tell them how to think. I don't want a party guided by surveys ... besides it's hogwash anyway. Every one of those supposed surveys ends with a plea for money. So it's just a fund raising ploy.

We need a party that stands for principles and actually acts on the principles it stands for. Right now what we have is a big hog feeding contest and the pigs have pretty much emptied the trough.
