Can Republicans win without scaring the hell out of Americans?
I’m listening to the speeches tonight, and it’s clear that one of the major themes of the Republican convention this year relates to economic conservatism. The traditional enemies of government and liberals are getting plenty of attention. All the speakers from Carly to Meg to Mitt to Huckabee are spending time on this, and they’re putting everyone to sleep.
This is natural for a Republican convention, but I wonder how well this will play in the current political climate with the state of the economy after eight years of Bush.
If their theories are so good, why did things go so badly under a Republican president and a Republican congress?
I suspect this theme won’t help much.

I actually feel bad for BO after Rudy BRUTALIZED him
Rudy is doing a good job. We’ll see if it’s effective.
I think most normal intelligent people can understand that Bush is not a normal Republican, he was a mistake, the type you liberals would have aborted.
What i don’t understand is why McCain is afraid of the neo cons.
I think it’s clear McCain emerged as the choice during the GOP primaries exactly because he was the only candidate with a renegade image, who did not follow the purely Bush line and in fact is rumored to even intensely dislike Bush.
So once he gets the nomination, he runs right into the arms of Bush Cheney, embracing every extreme failure of that administration????
It’s McCain himself who is driving his campaign into the ground, go figure! He has zero chance of winning
