One of them being the fact they sat back and let our side do the complaining of Republicans for them
Don't get my wrong .. I agree our party needs to get their act together ..
Yes, the spending is getting out of control .. which is one reason why dems would tack on $$$ amendments to Bills that had nothing to do with the Bill ...
The immigration issue needed to be fixed .. but having Pat Buchanan and others go on TV & radio and make comments like we should round them all up and throw them out at once .. only scares people into the opposite direction
There was also a reason Harry Reid would quote Michael Savage on the Senate Floor
We have to realize that the Dems managed to get their act together and out smarted us
They knew to stick together even though most of their candidates were running as conservatives
The NOW hags and NARL knew to shut their traps during the election process while the likes of Casey, jr went around claiming he was pro-life
Notice how we didn't hear the women in Hollywood screaming at rallies about how Bob Casey was going to rape women if he was elected
The Dems also knew to keep their traps shuts or quickly file amendments to their tax/expense forms whenever a scandal of theirs started to brew
They also knew how to run and win this campaign on sound bits .. which is why they followed candidates around with camcorders
So yes, I agree that our party did lose their way from the promises they made in 94 and that needs to be corrected
But we also need to think outside of the box .. for if we don't .. we are bound to get stuck in that box
no worries....
some plans are in the making....
we will get through this.. but we have to be willing to take the party back....and not let the RINO's and elites abuse us.....
