It’s Been a While, But Coulter Nails It

There’s so much complexity to this year’s election that analysis will go on for months, and probably none of it get the true meaning. But one thing is for sure, John McCain started the Republicans off without a chance to win. Granted, Republicans had a tough road overcoming Bush and the economy, but I think an articulate candidate who actually held right wing ideas.

This is possibly evident by the fact that green initiatives and gay marriage lost in an election that Obama won. But conservatives stayed home, or held their nose, voted third party…and moderates voted Obama..because you can’t be a Democrat lite and expect to beat a Democrat. You have to offer an antidote to the other side, not a weaker version.

Coulter gets (in rare form lately, unfortunately) it spot on in this week’s column.

Excerpts:

Republicans lost this presidential election, and I don’t blame the messenger; I blame the message. How could Republicans go after B. Hussein Obama (as he is now known) on planning to bankrupt the coal companies when McCain supports the exact same cap and trade policies and earnestly believes in global warming?

How could we go after Obama for his illegal alien aunt and for supporting driver’s licenses for illegal aliens when McCain fanatically pushed amnesty along with his good friend Teddy Kennedy?
How could we go after Obama for Jeremiah Wright when McCain denounced any Republicans who did so?
How could we go after Obama for planning to hike taxes on the “rich,” when McCain was the only Republican to vote against both of Bush’s tax cuts on the grounds that they were tax cuts for the rich?
And why should Republican activists slave away working for McCain when he has personally, viciously attacked: John O’Neill and the Swift Boat Veterans, National Right to Life director Doug Johnson, evangelical pastors Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and John Hagee, various conservative talk radio hosts, the Tennessee Republican Party and on and on and on?

….For now, we have a new president-elect. In the spirit of reaching across the aisle, we owe it to the Democrats to show their president the exact same kind of respect and loyalty that they have shown our recent Republican president.
