These guys never seem to get it do they?
Redstate.com Editor Erick Erickson tells his audience that they must read a piece in today’s Wall Street Journal which makes the case that the Republicans lost the election in 2006 because of out- of-control spending, and argues that they will lose the 2008 election as well if they don’t work towards “re-establishing the GOP as a party of limited government and economic freedom,” and pick a fiscally conservative running-mate for McCain.
It’s no secret that John McCain believes that his party lost the 2006 mid-terms because of spending (so does former candidate and still fascist Rudy Giuliani), and with a clueless doofus like him at the top of the ticket, Democrats should take advantage of the opportunity to continue to highlight how out of touch with the country the Republican party is.
After all, the Republicans lost the 2006 elections because of Bush’s unpopularity, the war in Iraq, and corruption. And Bush will still be president come this November (and he seems eager to campaign for McCain, which of course could likely doom the Senator’s candidacy), the war will still be going terribly, and a new crop of scandals is threatening to further sully the Republican party’s reputation.
You guys just keep running on the idea that the country hates you because of over-spending. I dare you.
