The following was a comment I made on Dave's blog "A Conservative in Cincinnati".
Running the ball
Liberals had been doing it for 8 years during the Clinton era. The elites on the Right were frustrated as all get out.
When the Right got into power ala Bush, the RINO elites thought it was THEIR turn. Only it was the Liberal's game and they continued to make the rules.
The best way to win is to handle Liberals (and 3rd party wannabes) the same way you handle teenagers.
Feign boredom and tell them to grow up.
Seriously Dave, don't you realize that it is YOUR side that feeds the PC mode and gives them power? It began with Trent Lott when a man making a birthday toast got taken down not by the Liberals but by his own people.
The great weakness of Conservatives is they care more about appearances than loyalty. Think about it.
And that is the truth of it.
The Conservatives may have logic on their side...intelligence...responsibility...they may be the more grown up of the two political groups.
But Liberals unite...like the UNITED States, like Unions, like Family and Community. THAT is their appeal.
Liberals are like those popular kids in school, making all the rules on what's popular and acceptable.
Conservatives are still nerds, apologizing and dancing to the tune of what's supposed to be cool.
It is why, despite 6 years of a great economy, a return to our lives (no attacks on American soil), and a decade where Conservatives held most of the power, Libs continue to run the ball.
And why they will take back the White House, stack the aging Courts, and why we will lose the war and be attacked again.
Because Conservatives care more about what the Liberals think of them than being reasonable, responsible, and boringly grown up.
