In a year when Democrats are expected to roll over Republicans in the Congressional races, two issues are certain winners for Republicans if they can avoid wimping out to liberal threats and RINO nonsense: energy and immigration. The nation was treated to a raw demonstration of the power of the illegal immigration issue when a liberal governor of liberal New York state proclaimed the issuance of drivers licenses to illegals. Governor Spitzer, now retired in disgrace, had to reverse his order, and Hillary Clinton lost all her momentum by hemming and hawing over this issue.

Definitely support drilling and nuclear, but politically there’s no need to alienate anyone by being scathingly opposed to “alternative” energy like solar and wind.

Too bad, the RNC isn’t getting a dime from me!
You’re right. There is no need for us to dump on alternative energy. However, there is strong need for us to dump on government mandates and subsidies for alternative energy.
Another thing that may help us is the ridiculous decision of the CA Supreme Court on homo marriage.
energy and immigrationNot a chance when the GOP standard bearer is on the wrong side of both.
What a sorry way we have come to this. I felt bad that I didn’t give them money on the last pledge drive, then they do someting so stupid as to let a hack talk all kinds of sh$t and let him get away with it until it’s to late.
Pipe Dream!
Wishful Thinking!
As long as the GOP standard-bearer, A.K.A. John McCain, the presumptive GOP Presidential nominee is on the side of the Democrats on these two issues the GOP will get absolutely no traction on thes issue.
