R-igg it up!

Hey everybody!

I just wanted to let everybody know about a new conservative
news service I’ve been using lately: www.R-igg.com.
Most of my Facebook friends (ok ok, all of them) have gotten an invitation to
their Facebook group, and I’d like to take a moment to describe what it is.
Essentially the creators have taken the web processes of Digg.com and have made
it into a conservative social network, letting the community pick top stories
of the day and letting you stay on top of the latest news and commentary on a
continuing basis. Feel free to give it a try!

The Republican Brand is Not Dead

Today I saw a news article saying that McCain needs to pick Bloomberg because "The Republican Brand is dead". When I read those words, something in me just snapped. The last few months have been full of speculation about November, and there are so many loose ends that have not been brought together, so I decided I'd go out and enlighten some folks about how everything is really going to go down.

First of all, Bush approval levels should be a clear indication that Bush is not a real Republican. Any time an approval rating goes below about 50%, it means people of both parties are having an issue, and truth be told, some of Bush’s greatest opposition comes from those on his right. Most Republicans disagree with a lot of his policies, especially as they are, well, too liberal for them. But the media still seems to have this perception that he represents all Republicans, and that any Republican represents Bush (even as they usually tend to run from him). I don't see the big issue here- Bush is not running for a 3rd term, he's not on the ticket, and I highly doubt McCain would have him as VP. Regardless of what happens this November, we will not have G. W. Bush in the White House any longer.
