Errr guys, hate to be a superior Brit and all but you’re making the same mistake our tories made. You’re resorting to navel gazing, looking inward while the Dems are pushing the self destruct button.

Paul is a kook playing on peoples ignorance of banking and finance, Bachmann is probably a loon as well, but they are hammering home the message that Americas very survival depends on low taxes and less restrictive government. The side issues can wait. Unite under that banner and you can win it. Because the Tories over here haven’t pushed conservative principles in over ten years theyve lagged behind and now they will inherit power not because they have a worthwhile vision but because we are sick of Labour. Thats no way to move forward.

I say this to you, and this goes especially for Charles Johnson…

Instead of running a witch hunt for conservatives you don’t like how about hitting up google and finding some new people you would proudly stand for and start pushing them forward. This negativity, this self destruction, this bickering is not attractive. You cannot fight this on a negative. Find a conservitve you can get behind and really go with it. I would suggest Newt Gingrich as a starting point. And who gves a damn if theyre creationists or whatever. That only matters if government controls schools. If you push a real conservative agenda, schools would be outside government control and if parents want to set up a creationist school them let them build it, send their kids to it and leave them be. Isn’t that what america is about? freedom to choose?

Push a positive message instead of airing dirty laundry in public. This is no time for a right wing civil war. Ron Paul is a kook but he’s done much to excite people to the possibility of low taxes and small government and made it trendy rather than the domain of fat balding corporate bosses. Thats a massive asset. Exploit it! Celebrate his kookyness but keep him on a leash.

Gingrich is right. The GOP is just the right wing of the big government one party state and we need to start referring to the past and present as the Bush-Obama administration to distance ourselves from big wasteful government. If David Cameron came out with Bachmanns speech on spending I’d be chomping at the bit to vote tory but while we have this tory lite leftoid pastiche of conservatism I can’t even vote.

Regaanomics won it for Reagan and Thatcher and kept the right in power for a long time. It worked then and if it worked then it will certainly work now. But only if you find your messiah as the left did with Obama.

Mccain was a big government guy and he compromised for the media. He had no courage of conviction and cow towed on Cap and Trade and global warming, even Palin was too timid to stake her ground on CNN. They sold out to the media. Can you see Ron Paul saying anything other than that which he is truly convinced of however wrong he may be? And thats why he’s attractive to voters. Conviction politicians are few and far between.

Now if you can find a conservative with principles, a decent monetary and foreign policy, someone of conviction and courage, you will leave Ron Paul standing looking rather silly. The electorate will not be impressed with negativist sniping. You want to defeat Obama? You want to defeat Ron Paul? Give us something WE can believe in.
