Viguerie said today: "It's because no one else is acting like a Republican leader."<BR/><BR/>"The 'Rushification' of the GOP is the natural and inevitable result of the fact that those who are supposed to provide leadership – Republican elected officials and party officers – are doing little to bring the party back," said Viguerie, chairman of ConservativeHQ.com.<BR/><BR/>"Nature abhors a vacuum, and there is no vacuum in nature as empty as the leadership of the Republican Party today."<BR/><BR/>Said Viguerie: "The GOP absolutely refuses to replace the Congressional leaders who helped get the party and the country into this mess. There are many Republican governors campaigning for the Obama 'stimulus' plan that is wrecking the economy and will push America deeper into socialism. Governor Jindal's speech was technocratic, without passion and toothless, and Michael Steele's foolish attack on Rush Limbaugh will, I'm sure, cost the party many millions in contributions."<BR/><BR/>"<EM><STRONG>The anger of grassroots conservatives continues unabated at the weak-kneed, spineless, earmark –loving Republicans.</STRONG>"</EM>Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-26279014835258221382009-03-04T14:34:00.000-05:002009-03-04T14:34:00.000-05:00Ash, I can actually agree with you on much of that...Ash, I can actually agree with you on much of that.<BR/><BR/>Particularily about the part about 'space'.<BR/><BR/>I have truly loved some of my trips around here, down to the Nevada desert, for instance, and the beautiful sky, the mountains off in the distance, maybe even a scene of storm clouds brewing, and a little lighning flash, the smell of the sage brush.

My impression is that Australians, however, have got other things to do with their spare time. They’re not besotted with shopping, because the country’s so large and there are so many opportunities for recreation — that’s probably another delusion of mine, I’ve no idea. But I’ve been to Canada several times and no-one would call Canada a consumerist society, because people have got more things to do — there’s more space. The peculiar thing about England is that we’re so densely populated. When I say there’s nothing to do except go shopping, that’s almost the truth. You know, you can’t climb into your car and drive off into the wilderness. Shopping is all we have. But I think, translated overseas, the general principle of Kingdom Come will hold: there is something about consumerism and late capitalism that is too close for comfort to fascism. There are echoes."<BR/><BR/>http://www.ballardian.com/rattling-other-peoples-cages-the-jg-ballard-interviewAshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06232405130481114127noreply@blogger.com
