"I'm not totally disagreeing with you, but the times we live in people wouldn't stand two seconds for ramrod style, but they'd vote your aggressive ass complete out"
It has always been the Repubs contention that we try not to act like the friggin DemonRats. We try hard to be better than that. It also seems that it comes around and bites us in the a$$ when we do. I think Gingrich would agree. I have heard him say lately though that we sure as hell need to close ranks a hell of a lot better than we are currently. You would think we could at least brow beat some of these Benedict Arnolds.
While it would be greatly appreciated by most Republican Voters to at least see our elected officials stand up to some of the bald faced lies these pukes are spewing, I am afraid they are all gun shy given past experience. The MSM rakes the
Pubbies over the coals every time they so much as fart.
There is also the estimation that as much as 40% of American Voters could be independents. That figure seems mighty high to me, but Kerry definitely did better than I had expected. That is the problem with career politicians, they are afraid to offend any potential voter. It is the only thing that can explain their failure to address our immigration problems.
