Make no mistake about it: if the Republican Party is to resurrect itself as a true alternative to bigger government, it has to become the party of smaller government in every sense of the term. Otherwise, there is really no reason for a Republican Party. Why on earth would we want a party whose only difference with the other side is the reasons for which it wants a bigger, more intrusive, more expensive government.
And hence, notwithstanding my serious disagreements on campaign finance legislation, I do strongly and undoubtedly support John McCain’s reelection to the United States Senate. So do Sarah Palin, Jeb Bush, and Mitt Romney. His primary opponent, banking on the anger of a segment of conservatives, is simply another big government, anti-liberty buffoon whose sordid past includes rancid earmarks, collusion with Jack Abramoff, and armchair generalship.
We are at war. In fact, we are in two wars. One, a war of ideas and ideals waged against socialism and fascism. Another, a struggle of weapons and tactics targeted against terrorism. Who would you trust to lead you in those battles?
I would pick the Naval aviator and war hero over the disc jockey anytime; specially a disc jockey who has never served a day in harm’s way. It is really funny to hear about borders and national security from J.D. Hayworth, an overweight and florid complexioned man whose facial makeup can barely mask his absolute lack of any credentials on the issues on which he deems himself an expert.
