Now there's an oxymoron. “We want the party of small government, big defense.” Now there’s an oxymoron.

How Bush Should Handle Loss [Jonah Goldberg]
I think James Baker and Dick Cheney should take Bush out to the woods around Camp David. After 24 hours in a sweat lodge, he should be given only a loin cloth, a hunting knife and a canteen of water. Bush should then set out to track and kill a black bear, after which he should eat its still beating heart so he can absorb its spirit. He should then fly back to Washington in Marine 1. His torso still scratched from the bear’s claws, his face bloodied and steaming in the November chill, he should immediately give a press conference at which he throws the bearskin on the front row of the press corps, completely enveloping Helen Thomas, declaring, "I’m not going anywhere."

This will send important messages to Democrats and well as to our enemies overseas, who are no doubt high-fiving as we speak.

It's strong words to the party that lost its way. We don't want the Republican party back, we want to conservative party to return. The party of Reagan and the party of 1994 that established a contract with America. In other words we want the party of small government, big defense and a reformist agenda. Like in 1992, when the GOP begins to behave like the Dems the American voters will just vote in the real thing. Good Bye. And hope we never see that behaviour again. Whats interesting is that the Dems elected from the red states essentially promised a conservative agenda. I wouldn't like to be in Pelosi's shoes trying to herd these cats. Don

Now that the ship is under 5000 metres of water and still sinking, they start to think about heading for the life rafts. Good luck to them with that.
