Republicans need to don a skirt and grow a back bone: Wisconsin revisited
Canada Free Press ^ | March 13, 2011 | LTC Carmen Reynolds (USAF-Ret.)

Posted on 03/13/2011 8:34:38 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Rush Limbaugh said the only Republican folks with a back bone are Palin and Bachmann.

Last week Congress was apprised by the Heritage Foundation about the provision in the Obamacare bill which appropriates $105 billion towards its funding- a complete and fraudulent circumvention of the legislative process.

In the bill, instead of following the rules and letting the next Congress go through the appropriations process, Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats appropriated billions of dollars in funding for Obamacare without holding a single hearing, or even allowing Members of Congress a chance to read the bill. Why is Bachmann one of the few sirens of this message? Why is she not getting the attention and backing of her fellow Republicans?

As a former female senior military officer, I know telling it like it is becomes unpopular. I’ve often wondered why everything must be sugar coated to be palatable. Why do the guys “play nice” all the time, going along just to get along like some happy sports team?

Take for instance the situation in Wisconsin where Gov. Walker is being labeled a bully. Hardly.

I would have handled the situation much differently. To heck with the $100-per-day fines for the AWOL Democrat legislators! I’m not sure if the $250-per-day fines being bandied about in Indiana are even enough. Lessons must be taught here....

I am accusing the author of being a "dumb-ass armchair quarterback."

If Lt. Commander Carmen Reynolds is a "dumb-ass armchair quarterback" then I'd like to know just what you are.

You use what I do, every day, son. Every day. And so did she. Enough said.

Here is your blather about this article, “I am accusing the author of being a “dumb-ass armchair quarterback.” The author is a retired Lt. Col. who happens to be a female. If she is a “dumb-ass armchair quarterback” then your blather has to be taken as coming from a fourth string bench-warming water boy.
I noticed you did not list your credentials for making the statement. Also you did not mention anything specific in her article that you would debate....no opinion,information or guts. Which is it?

I don't think he invented it; I think he recycles it.

I think her ideas were reasonable and just coercive enough to drag the Wisconsin Dems back to their jobs. No need to pussy foot around, the governor had the right to lay the hammer down, and should have. He built up no good will being nice, all he did was show a bit of weakness. We all know what happens to those how show weakness.....they get bulldozed in the long run.

Oh sure, we have some good male minority candidates...but, I believe the women can take the mantel away and not get attacked...like men. Course, they still get attacked...but, it’s different. Maybe I’m just dreaming....

No, I think you pretty much got it covered.

I think the other Republican governors need to grow a backbone and fast. We need to get other states passing similar legislation to take the heat off Wisconsin. (We need a second front.) Right now the unions are poised to drop virtually limitless cash into a Wisconsin recall effort; a successful recall effort in Wisconsin would look bad for us, and have a chilling effect on efforts in other states. It would be better if the unions were distracted, trying to put out fires in other states.

On Fox, they went to the streets and asked the people some basic questions like: Who is the current VP and who is the current speaker of the house.

One gal said the speaker of the house “is that guy that cries all the time”...

That is what people think of GOP Speaker....freaking sad...

I knew we were doomed when Boehner was chosen for speaker...
Yep, the girls in the GOP have ovaries of steel....

I love Col West. If he runs for President, he has my vote.

I fear we are screwed no matter who runs:

If the ladies run, they will be savagely attacked by the left and the feminista’s. Like Palin. They will go after their kids, their families, again.

If minorities run, they will be labeled Uncle Tom’s, Traitors,etc. Hermain Cain has already been referred to (in a left wing blog) as a “monkey”....Al Sharpton said recently that the only blacks GOP isn’t afraid of are the types like Colin Powell. I guess he forgets about Jessie’s comments about walking down the street....

If conservatives run, they will be called right wing, gun toting, wing nuts, right wing militants, etc. The Rommney bots will be attacking and under-mining as well.
