Yes, I know, I swore to stop writing political stuff here, but I’m human and sometimes the urge to yell “I TOLD YOU SO!” just becomes overwhelming.
Particularly of late when I’ve been taking so much flak from the McCainiacs and GOP bobbleheads who keep preaching that the Universe will implode if Obambi wins the election.
Of course, as of this date, even some of the mainstream columnists have seriously discussed the possiblility of McAmnesty naming Joe Liberalman as a running mate. Personally, I don’t think even McRino’s THAT stupid (but you never know with such a megalomaniac!), and THAT’S not even the main issue I want to address.
What I predicted with a high level of confidence has, indeed, come to pass. The National GOP has totally revised its party platform to accommodate McIdiot’s natural leftism, and it’s a fulfillment of my prophesies going back to my earliest essays in 2006, right here at The Island.
You can read the entire AP story here.
Some salient quotes:
“Republicans are putting John McCain's campaign priorities above some of their pet issues, including drilling for oil in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and denying citizenship to the U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants… The panel turned back a move to deny citizenship to U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants. Opponents raised constitutional concerns and said the proposal would complicate life for McCain, who has sponsored legislation giving illegal immigrants a path toward legal status but now prioritizes border security.”
"I want to give him a platform he can run on," said Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour. "I don't want to stick my finger in his eye."
WHY NOT? He’s been sticking HIS thumb in the eyes of conservatives for decades!
“Republicans are also doing a balancing act on climate change…the platform acknowledges a human role in increased carbon emissions”
Amnesty. Citizenship for “anchor babies”. “Climate change”. Cap and Trade. Those four issues alone – all McIdiot’s positions – are enough to totally BANKRUPT this nation, and all are issues upon which the National GOP has CAVED, following the path blazed by the California GOP lo, those many years ago.
You can read the entire article for yourself, but the bottom line is that the National GOP has shown itself willing to do the same thing the California State GOP did a couple of decades ago: throw conservatives and the conservative ideology and principles under the bus, because the only thing that matters is WINNING! As a “party”! It doesn’t matter if that party doesn’t stand for anything anymore! Just a “lighter” version of LIBERALISM!
The last national party that followed this strategy was the WHIG Party in the mid-19th Century, and BY GOD I hope the same thing happens to the GOP as happened to THEM!
I am outraged!
