Well, lemme see, at the end of the Thatcher government, a damn popular one to begin with, which gradually lost its credibility (much like Bush), along comes a charming, young, but big spending socialist Tony Blair, (your Obama) who wins hands down and then we see the Tories in a ten year civil war (wondering how and why it lost) and became an enfeebled opposition which allowed the New Labour project to get away with murder. There are exceptional paralells going on and I fail to see how the experience of UK conservatives isn’t relevant. Kimberly Strassel of the WSJ was saying similar a few weeks ago. I am not especially pushing an agenda here other than not wanting to see the GOP in the political wilderness for a devade. And I am certainly not opposed to the US having a voice in foreign affairs. Not sure how I might have given you that impression.
