I will hopefully be able to get the entire pro-war, fear mongering, divisive, partisan, liberal bashing, farewell address up here soon. Goodbye for now, Willard. America is a more unified and stronger country without you. Your dishonesty and lack of understanding for the needs of the average American will not be missed in any way.
Something tells me this is not the last we will hear from Willard. Many bloggers are already making comparisons to other conservatives' failed attempts at the presidency and other offices and their later successes.
Nixon's quote after his failed senate run is 62' is one of my all-time favorite election related quotes and relatively apropos to this blog:
"For 16 years, ever since the Hiss case, you've had a lot of -- a lot of fun -- that you've had an opportunity to attack me and I think I've given as good as I've taken.....But as I leave you I want you to know -- just think how much you're going to be missing. You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference."And we cannot miss the obvious comparison between 1976 era Reagan and Willard. Aside from the hair, Reagan (also?) famously laid the groundwork for his next run with his concession/suspension speech at the 1976 GOP (Watergate) Convention.
"This is our challenge; and this is why here in this hall tonight, better than we have ever done before, we have got to quit talking to each other and about each other and go out and communicate to the world that we may be fewer in numbers than we have ever been, but we carry the message they are waiting for...We must go forth from here united, determined that what a great general said a few years ago is true: There is no substitute for victory."See you in 2012 Willard!!!
