Throwing rocks at a president with a 70 percent approval rating won't get America's entrepreneurial engines running again.

Riiiight...

Only "throwing rocks" at conservatives can do that!

This is well said. I’m sick of the nit-picking and the failure to lead, to espouse conservative principles, and to stand for something, on the part of the Republicans.

Who the hell is Matt Towery. He built the party? He doesn’t even merit a Wikipedia entry.

“This proposal probably has a million holes in it. Readers, feel free to help me find them.”

A fussy scolding, then a valuable financial lecture—”Buy low, sell high!”
What’s not to like?

Throwing rocks is justified when Hussein just undid everything W did to keep us safe since 9/11

I think this guy misses the point of the bailouts. He seems to think that the government is using tax dollars to help the economy recover. I don’t know where he gets such an idea. The point of the bailouts is to use tax dollars to buy future votes for Democrats. Thus, his idea, while it might seem to have some merit, is a non-starter.

Gosh, I wish they’d actually engage in some constructive critique. The closest they’re coming now is mildly suggesting that the bailout is too big and not properly targeted.

They win on differences — both negative (Democrat ideas stink like last week’s fish and always have) and positive (Republicans have good ideas and here they are). One without the other is worthless.

“I’m already weary of members of the Republican Party and other conservatives doing little else but throwing rocks at the new Obama administration.”

I’m not. You have to show that the Lord Obama and his cult followers are fallible.

start coming up with new ideas and counter-ideas of your own, instead of making hateful or smart-alecky remarks just to sell books or attract attention.

I'm right where I've always been. America is slipping over the edge, because she has let go of her founding principles. The founding principles aren't even taught anymore, so who can be surprised if people who were never taught them don't believe them or know what they are?

I don't have to "come up with new ideas". I have to keep preaching principle, and when the conceit of the moment fails to deliver what it promised I have to explain, based on principle, why it didn't work and why it was never going to work.

Throwing rocks at a president with a 70 percent approval rating won't get America's entrepreneurial engines running again.

I'm supposed to avoid criticizing someone just because he's popular? Is that what passes for punditry at Townhall these days?

Well, the author is half-right. The GOP should have nominated a real conservative and showcased up-and-comers at the convention. Instead, they had Rudy, Romney, Lieberman, etc instead.

However, that doesn't mean that Republicans should bend over and not criticize Obama either.

Bill or Rights and Constitution enforcement. It's what conservatives are supposedly trying to "conserve", it's what libertarians demand, and it's what Reform party folks have been trying to "reform".

Doesn't matter if something in the above doesn't jibe with what the Big Tent RINO's have been peddling. Get back to basics and you'll bring in the Base.

Get used to it. It's payback time.

No problem Boss man, but first I have 8 years of hell to get even for.

Then White Toby be good boy... really good boy Boss man.

I am a white that can’t get it right, clinging to my bible and guns.

I’ll go to my grave as a real man, knowing that I was right... and with my boots on.

Get over it, and start coming up with new ideas and counter-ideas of your own, instead of making hateful or smart-alecky remarks just to sell books or attract attention.

Conservatives have produced many ideas, oh arrogant author. The Republican party has carefully and deliberately abandoned or outright ignored most of them in its maddened race to the center.

You fight with the materials at hand. The Democrats have the WH, House, Senate & the Media. We have... rocks. I wish we had more, but until Obama overreaches that’s about all we’ll have.

This guy is foolish. Since 2001, the democrats have walked out in front of cameras with bags of stones and nasty mouths. An look who won? They weren’t coming up with new ideas.

The GOP best be doing the same. At least for the moment.
