Put a Cork in It!

                Put a Cork in It!

With all due respect, Senator McCain, your lecturing of your Senate colleagues was unseemly at best, and arrogant at worst.  Like Tom Dewey, you led your party down the road to defeat.  Now you presume to lecture your colleagues on the fact that we lost and need to roll over and play dead when it comes to appointments and policies that are detrimental to our nation!

You have absolutely no claim to leadership of the Republican Party.  It is the Party of Ronald Reagan, not John McCain and Nelson Rockefeller.

You were an accidental nominee who generally sounded more like a Democrat than a Republican.  You were for the bail out and didn’t mind criticizing the free market (of which it is apparent you have little or no understanding).  You were wrong on everything from conservative judges to so-called Global Warming to amnesty for illegal aliens to drilling in Alaska, and that’s just the short list. 

Your defeat would have been even more crushing if you had not selected Governor Palin.  The selection of Sarah Palin turned out to be the one shining moment of your campaign and without the wind she put in your sails, the Obama electoral landslide, and the loss of Republicans at all levels, would have been even greater.

I have two pieces of advice if you hope to have any following whatsoever.  Sit down.  Shut up.
