Beware GOP Frontrunners

One our favorite writers is the inimitable Marshall Miller who writes his Thoughts from the Right Side column for the Dodge County News in Lilburn, Georgia

Mr Miller points out an incontestable truth:

" Beware media-designated "frontrunners." The media got their man John McPain the nomination, knowing he would lose to Hussein. Rudy Giuliani, despite the media buildup in 2007 and 2008 failed miserably at the ballot box. Gerald Ford and George Bush I claimed to be stronger than Ronald Reagan in '76 and '80 but we saw how foolish that claim was.  Ford guaranteed he could beat Jimmy Carter in '76 and didn't. Ford also said in June 1980 that Reagan would lose to Carter if nominated. Former Cal. Governor Arnie says the Tea Party will be gone when the economy improves. Liberal Republicans are losers. They always claim to be "electable." Remember the media trying to get Colin Powell the nomination in the mid-nineties?  They yapped about him constantly. Just check who was raving about him and you knew it was a hoax. Newt Gingrich and Bill Kristol, both Ph.D Repubs, fell for it and tried to make it happen."

 Even a liberal  Democrat was right on this one :

  " It is both a right and a responsibility of a democratic society to manage immigration so that it serves the national interest."
      - Rep. Barbara Jordan (D-Texas)  1936-1996

    I liked it. Of course, I'm biased, since I wrote it. Notice too, the clever media tried to get McCain the 2000 nomination over G.W. Bush, figuring he would be weaker for Gore in November. Many forget - if Gore had carried little West Virginia in 2000 (five electoral votes), he'd have won without Florida. He never set foot in the Mountain state. Thanks for all you do, Elvis. I tell all to read your great site and try to mention you in each column. Wes Riddle does fine work also. Keep fighting.
