"An important evolution has occurred in the conservative base. Bloggers, conservative talk radio hosts, and talk show listeners have evolved from party cheerleaders into the conservative power base. "
"Disappointed by the pork and pandering going into the 2006 elections, and ever confounded by the lack of leadership from the likes of Lott, Frist, and McCain, the informed, well-read, well written, and outspoken right has begun to use the new media and its energy to re-right the conservative agenda and get the conservative movement back on course."
Excerpted from retired Marine Major Michael McBride's July 1 TownHall column:"What I Learned in Senate School This Week."
Er, this other McBride comment, "There are already plenty of Democrats around; we just don’t need Republicans imitating them," recalls similar counsel given by former Wake Republican Rep Sam Ellis - - to former Moore County Republican Rep Richard Morgan in 2003: "We don't need 2 Democrat parties in NC."
Hat Tip: Charles G. especially for the North Carolina reference!
