A salesman makes no sales unless he makes calls.

The Republican party refuses to make calls. No sales...

My main problems with the party leadership are these...

1. They don’t hawk Conservative ideals
2. They actually trash party members who do
3. They habitually compliment the Democrats and their fine ideals
4. They actually adopt the Democrat’s model, even going so far as to claim racism if they are criticized by the rank and file Republicans.

Oh who are we kidding. That’s the whole ballgame right there.

The last time the Republican party showed real backbone, was in 1994, when Newt Gingrich was inspired to loft the Contract with America.

After winning back the House and the Senate, the Republicans did fairly well for the next six years. They brought spending into line. We were actually headed toward surpluses, and then our team got the White House.

Talk about a melt-down. In the next eight years we nearly doubled the pre-existing debt, something like 92%.

I will say that the Democrats owned Congress from 2006 on, and the largest deficits took place during those two years, but our team sure didn’t help. Their intransigence cost us the leadership IMO.

Great society programs? Just damn! How damned dumb can you get?

It’s been about a decade since the party lost it’s family jewels. (There’s a case to be made that it went way back beyond that, but I think it’s fairly clear there was a real melt-down after 2000.) It has cost us greatly!

Where’s the Contract this year? Isn’t it time to dust that thing off and refresh it with updates?

Evidently not. The leadership, even at a time like this, can’t craft a clear-cut difference for U. S. citizens to contemplate across the board. No, were stuck in fantasy land, actually hawking pricks like Carly Fiorina and John McCain for U. S. Senate.

The Republican party, the only entity I know that could make whale s—t look lofty.
