It’s so very basic, but yet it made news when Sen. John McCain said it on Sunday in his conversation with David Gregory.
“There’s a perception out there because of the way that this whole contraception issue played out.. We need to get off of that issue. In my view, I think we ought to respect the right of women to make choices in their lives and make that clear and to get back onto what the American people really care about — jobs and the economy.” – Sen. John McCain on “Meet the Press”
This is actually a conservative message.
It used to be that conservatives believed that neither state or federal government should be involved intimately in our lives. Today’s Republicans are now using government to interfere. That’s not a conservative principle or at least it wasn’t until today’s GOP.
This shift has made a mockery out of the meaning of conservatism.
Short and sweet…to the point…and spot on! Thanks, Taylor!
These people are not conservatives, labeling them as such is a disservice to the conservative movement. They are radicals with a 19th century view of women who have been catered to by republicans in their unrelenting obsession to regain an absolute majority and transform this nation into a one party state.
Reactionary I would call it. I heard Charles Murry say on Cspan that the twentieth century was an adolescent rebellion of our country..
I am sure that McCain believes what he said. I don’t understand why some true conservatives don’t stand up to the foolishness brought by the wing nuts. What is the difference between the far right religious GOP and the Mullahs?
Fashion sense, mostly.
Ha!
The GOP doesn’t have the balls to put on vests of explosives and blow themselves up to kill people who recognize they are nuts….YET!
