RNC Chairman Mike Duncan On Why Conservatives Who Want To Sit Out The Election In 2008 Are Making A Big Mistake. - Right Wing News (Conservative News and Views)
The biggest problem with what Mike Duncan says here, is that we aren’t given a credible alternative in McCain. It’s all very well to say that the democrats would ruin the country. In fact, it goes without saying. But that is a reason to vote against them, not a reason to vote for McCain. If the Republican National Committee wants to get their party out of the minority in government, they’ll need to start thinking of reasons for us to vote for them, rather than always trying to scare us into voting against the democrats.
Look at all the programs that were introduced during that period of time that we’ve had trouble managing, that were are expensive, that have caused us to raise taxes.
Well, why have the republicans had so much trouble managing these programs? Because they were willing to raise taxes to pay for them. If the republican party had the courage to stand against the big-government dems, we would have a chance. The party in general, and McCain in glaring particular, have not shown that.
McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, McCain-Lieberman, McCain-Edwards. Any questions?
