Putting “Sound-byte” Republicans on a Pedestal is Hurting Conservatism
I just read this evening that Carrie Prejean is going to be co-hosting Fox and Friends. And to be quite frank, there’s very little as conservatives that we could be doing that is less constructive than this.
Putting people like Carrie Prejean and Joe the Plumber on a pedestal does absolutely nothing for conservative progress in America. These are average Americans, who aren’t politicians, and yet are somehow treated as if they are the new incarnation of American Conservatism.
Who’s leading us right now? Steele? Boehner? Limbaugh? Do we have a slew of limited-government conservatives in the wings for 2010? Do we have anyone who stands a shot at the white house, as a proactive candidate?
We currently have bigger unaddressed issues as a party.
Mr. Wurzelbacher toured very briefly with the McCain campaign, got a book deal… and for whatever unexplicable reason, became an impromptu war correspondent. (Pajamas Media, I’m looking squarely at you).
These people aren’t going to take charge in the 2010 fight for Congress, and they’re certainly not going to be anything more than a blip on the political radar when the 2012 Presidential elections roll around.
Mr. Wurzelbacher called the president out on his so-called tax reform, and Miss. Prejean expressed strong support of traditional marriage.
That’s it. And that’s all it should be.
