Reclaim Conservatism

Well, last night after work I went to the Downtown Renaissance Hotel inSt. Louis with some College Republicans.  I may not be the greatest fan of McCain, but Iam totally against the Obamassiah. So we waited there to see if we can get a glimpse of our next Messiah, but he arrived and entered at another entrance.  It was nice to see some of the young Republicans out there, it gives me hope that our younger generation is not totally lost on the “Progressive” Socialism that the Democrats are talking about.  All in all it was a pretty fun time, and mostly friendlywith the Obama crowd.  The only real confrontation was between some Obama supporters and a couple that had asign against abortion that showed what an aborted fetus looked like.  But other than that we just had the McCain supporters on one side of Washington Ave, and the Obama supporters on the other.  I am sure there are pictures and some video out there, all the local channels were there and local newspapers were also, if I find any I will post them here also.

Monday night outside the Renaissance, a couple dozen McCain allies, most of them area members of the College Republicans, underscored that theme. The group waved pro-McCain signs and posters declaring “Change We Can’t Afford.” Nearby, a smaller number of anti-abortion protesters nearby waved a giant placard showing aborted fetuses and other signs decrying Obama’s support of abortion rights.

Obama, for his part, made no mention of the protesters. What his victory for the nomination signaled, he said, was that many Americans were embracing his approach to politics and public policy.

“I believe in the politics of building people up, not tearing people down,” he said.—-STLtoday

Yes,he is off to a good start with all the Hillary supporters going to McCain and alienating those bitter people.
