Maybe GOP leadership is “thin”, but what’s really infuriating is the “southern gentlemen” who keep ending up as Senate minority/majority leader over the years. Mc Connell, Trent Lott, Bill Frist, etc. are all too polite to go up against the street fighters on the other side, such as Harry Reid, Tom Daschle, etc.
The Dems leaders are as vicious as can be, but our side plays nice, actually wanting “bipartisanship”, etc. When we do have power, we cede it to the dems, but when they’re in power, our side gets streamrolled at every turn.
Boehner is much more of a fighter than any of these “nice guys” the GOP has had in the Senate as of late! But no more. We need a “bad guy” from WWE to defend our side!
Geez, that is being awfully gratious. Boehner has only been seen from time to time to take politically safe pot-shots at Obama. Where are these guys on a daily basis taking the Dems to the fire like say someone in the vane of Beck, Church or Limbaugh? Boehner is Newt's big establishment pal and as far as I'm concerned, if Boehner listens to us like Newt did with Scuzzy, Adios chump.
There is no fighting in Congress. It is a struggle of ideas and communication. The left come from the media arts and take in school complex and deep classes in various leftism.
Republicans don’t. They don’t do theator, media, art. They don’t do philosophy, Marxism or even much free market ideas either. By and large they are uneducated, pleasent, hacks.
And, rightly, they get their butts kicked and will continue to do so.
However they represent by and large Republican voter, whom also disdain political arts, philosophy.
A single House ‘Great Leader’ isn’t going to do it.
