Loser McCain's Top Strategist Still Trying to Give Advice

.
Steve Schmidt, Senator McCain's top adviser from the presidential campaign, is still a loser and still giving loser advice. On Friday he told Republicans to ditch Religion and support same-sex marriage.

At a Log Cabin Republican Convention in Washington DC, he urged Republicans to support civil unions. "If you put public policy issues to a religious test, you risk becoming a religious party," he said. "And in a free country a political party cannot be viable in the long-term if it is seen as a sectarian party." "If the party is seen as anti-gay, then that is injurious to its candidates" in Democrat-leaning and competitive states, he said.

In other words, all that matters is the survival of the Party itself. What it stands for, the principals it holds, are irrelevant. Winning and keeping power are all that matters.

My quesion is, if what a Party stands for doesn't matter or is fluid to the times, than what is the point of being a member of that Party? If the only reason for being a member of a Party is to be on a "team" that works together to gain control of the power in the community, than I suppose what he said makes sense. But most of us choose a party that best reflects our beliefs out of a hope that it's candidates will support those beliefs while in office. We're not trying to get "just anyone" elected. We're trying to get someone that REPRESENTS us elected.

This "strategist" for McCain obviously missed that point during the Presidential campaign and is still missing it. He thinks that for many of us, the social issues are of equal or less importance than the economic issues. Therefore, in the hope of obtaining our economic goals, we should have no problem letting go of what we believe is socially important.

That's obviously how he advised McCain during the campaign. That's why McCain's team marginalized all that Sarah Palin stood for. And that's why so many conservatives couldn't stand McCain.

What a dunce.

He and his fellow jerks, those that are currently in control of the Party, may very well win their way and get the Party to wimp out on what it has stood for for so long. But in doing do, they will lose millions of conservative voters, who will simply walk away to find candidates that are willing to stand for the social issues we care about. We have no interest in supporting Steve Schmidt, Senator McCain, or any of their ilk. They can have the Republican Party if they really want it. Many of us are already so fed up with it we're actively searching for a new, better, third party. Maybe it will be the Tea Party.
