I’ve been hearing quite a few Republican squishes whine that Colin Powell isn’t getting a fair shake and that Arlen Specter is such a great loss to the party. I submit that neither one of them was ever in the party. A person can only be so far to the left on the political spectrum and still be a Republican/Conservative. These two are so far over that they’ve always lived in downtown Democratville.
It is easy to distinguish between a wolf and a dog … just watch how they behave. We need to stop thinking as “republicans,” and begin to see ourselves as “conservatives.” If (and only if) we actually have conservative values.
I don’t see much in the way of conservative leadership, though. Bummer.
