Entry: Why Michael Mukasey? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/why_michael_mukasey#5772 Post contents: Did anyone ever think Bush was a true believer in pro-life? It was a marriage of convenience for both sides and prolifers have to know that we got all we could given the current make-up of our political class, the state of our culture and the pre-occupation with the "war on terror". Let's face it Rudy is the man the establishment GOP will rally around and social conservatives will try to rally behind one candidate to stop him, but who will that be? Should he win the nomination we will be instantly marginalized and have to unite behind a 3rd party candidate and hope he loses (badly). Our next step will be to build on the ruins, shape and design a new party that has at it's core a platform in line traditional Christian thought. A coalition built on economic populism, social conservatism and a more humble and realistic foreign policy could be very potent. Who will lead it in it's infancy? None of this will be easy and the temptation to despair will be great for many. Yet, is there any other alternative if all the tea leaves are correct? Chesterton once said to the effect; "It really isn't hope until the situation is hopeless." I'm filled with hope. Sent at: 2008 07 09
