WHY THE GOP MUSTN'T NOMINATE A CENTRIST OR SO-CALLED "MODERATE"

IT NOT JUST ABOUT WHAT'S RIGHT; IT'S ABOUT WINNING.

When the GOP moves to the left, it lets the Democrat party move to the Left. And this moves the APPARENT center to the left, too.

But the electorate is not left-of-center; it is right-of-center.

(Obama won the general election because he hoodwinked many independent voters into thinking he was a centrist - AND HE OUTSPENT MCCAIN 8-TO-1 DURING A RECESSION!).)

If the GOP had nominated a more conservative person - instead of McCain, then the contrast between the two candidates would have been sharper and the choice clearer.

(In the last election, both candidates said they'd close Gitmo, sign carbon tax schemes, be softer on illegal immigration, waste billions on bailouts, and so on.)

This kept a few million conservative GOP voters home.

(Some turned out and voted for McCain - while holding their noses) becausew of Palin.)

The Dems turned out their leftist base and then some (because of the MSM, the recession and the $$$).

BUT REMEMBER THIS: The USA is now a nation whose majority believes in the Right to Life.

Running against that conservative core - and as a "slightly more to the right" version of the Democrat party will not bring the GOP victory.

NOT EVER.

Reagan was to the right of McCain - and he got the GOp its biggest victories ever.

Let than be a lesson for us.
