And this is truly my last on the GOP before November 2008...Why, you ask? Well...it's simple, really - I'm sick of the whole bloody mess...THAT'S why.

By haystack

John McCain wins Florida. Rudy is set to endorse his candidacy, Huckabee sucked all through the process...and Romney is the Conservative we all knew better than to believe.

M'kay...and, now?

Well, see, this Presidential race was always about who in the GOP could win against the Democrat contender...and secondarily about whether Conservatism ever really had anything to do with it, or whether the plan all along was to seat Conservatism in the upper deck of ideas at Foxboro stadium...forced to endure piss-poor Governance over the course of the next 4 or 8 years...and we know where the GOP has decided to place her bets...don't we?

Congratulations are in order for Johnny Mac and the Mittster...and while I had endorsed Rudy after Fred had his butt handed to him in SC (knowing full well I would never have actually voted for anyone willing to take my guns, destroy the concept of "family" and willingly let more babies be butchered so as to not anger the female gender's insistence that they be allowed to commit murder because they are women), it has become quite clear that the GOP actually LIKES pretending that Conservatism is something that it isn't...and, as the youngsters like to say...I'm down wid dat...

As a Conservative first, and a Republican if it suits me (assuming Republican candidates want to attempt some level of engagement with conservative-minded constituents) I accept that I must support whomever is NOT a Democrat in November. While it may appear to be John McCain, in the end...all that will matter is that I vote for one who is NOT a Democrat. I get it.

There's always 2012...and until then, LOCAL elections will mean EVERYTHING.

In the mean time...Rome burns...
