Why did the GOP lose?
Saturday, November 8, 2008 16:00Posted in category Politics
There is a ton of discussion right now about why the GOP was crushed this week. Most of it is noise.
- Some (inexplicably) think that the GOP has lost independents because they aren’t conservative enough
- Some think it was because McCain’s strategy centered on baseless attacks (i.e. calling Obama a socialist, communist, terrorist)
- Or was it because McCain tried to attack Obama for being inexperienced while pushing a VP candidate who was mayor of a town of less than 10,00 people two years ago
- Or is it because Obama’s campaign is better with this crazy Internet thing
- Or maybe because some conservatives couldn’t decide if Obama is more like Karl Marx or Dwight Eisenhower
It’s time to take a step back and realize what THE PRIMARY CAUSE is: incompetencehttp://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/06/bush.legacy/index.html?eref=rss_politics. For the last eight years, you have given incompetence a face.
…and when you suggested the country elect the oldest president in history with a laughably unqualified running mate, perhaps the final nail was that many realized you were likely to continue to lead us down our spiral.
