Guest Opinion: Why Conservative’s have lost…
2008 is another example of how the party is not united enough to defeat the machine that is building on the Democrat side…
By Warren Okuma
So what happened to the 2008 Republican primary? First, there was no clear conservative candidate. Secondly, the liberals and neutrals (Fox News, is fair and balanced) controlled the debates, and thirdly, open primaries, where Democrats can choose our candidate, although this was not the most significant factor. Regardless, we conservatives just got totally owned.
First a historical perspective. How well did conservatives do in the 20th century Presidential elections? From William McKinley to Bill Clinton there is only three solid conservatives… Ronald Reagan, Calvin Coolidge, and maybe Warren G. Harding (yeah I know), out of 18 presidents. It looks like conservatives drop the ball five times out of six.
So, we need to get our act together and become serious about electing a conservatives or we are going to fail five times out of six as we just did. That brings about the solutions section…

Current NUT
The utterly BRILLIANT left wing ideologue scientist, Nobel winner, internet creator, and "Champion of the chad recount", Al Gore has once again wowed us with some more amazing feats of observation.
Gore says the most recent Myanmar tragedy, Cyclone Nargis, which claimed 200,000 lives, was the result of Global Warming.
Nice job, Nostradamus.
This has brought on a chorus of rejection from scientists worldwide that claim that NO storm could be directly attributed to either the global warming phenom OR the science... neither of which could support Gore's claims.
And this is supposed to be one of the left's "best". God help us. He could have been PRESIDENT. -
Current BOLT
The passing of Tim Russert brings to mind, for me, the importance of excellent journalism. Russert was one of the finest. While loving life, he would still grill your butt on anything that was the buzz... no free passes, and he understood that journalism was the 4th branch of the US democratic process.
Our US political process and the field of Journalism will sorely miss Tim Russert.

The most stupidest dumbest ignorantest thang I have heard from the left lately...
Paul Begala, bomb throwing liberal pundit and talk show man, recently made clear what the left truly thinks. And remember, the "left" is supposed to be the party that blacks should love and vote for.
Said Begala "We cannot win with egg heads and African-Americans. OK, that is the Dukakis Coalition, which carried ten states and gave us four years of the first George Bush."
I totally agree by the way. You cannot win with only black Americans. You CAN win with only eggheads, though...
This insinuation that African American support of Obama is the reason for Obama having ANY chance is correct. I think what Begala is saying is the same thing Clinton is saying, in a more veiled way.
And I think what Begala is trying to say is "Obama is propped up by an African American vote- and that is IT. He cannot win without it."
I agree... but I think it is a stupid to take that approach, or point out such a point of view, especially if you are a person from the party that claims (falsely) to represent the black community BEST.
