The problem is with the wimpy way that the GOP presents it's point of view. They should be LOUD AND PROUD

Vast majority of politicians on both sides have no real political philosophy other than being in power
They are scared to death of the MSM
It is just that the MSM backs the democrats so they appear as fighters
If the MSM turned on them they would go belly up just like most of the GOP

Only thing politicos respond to is pressure whether from the MSM--the Voters or special interest groups

Real statesmen can be counted on one hand if that

Mark Sanford, after standing with his pigs under his arms garnered a 70% approval rating. The MSM wants to paint us as out of the mainstream, but we are anything BUT. It's why this pick pisses me off. Go all out for our principles. We voted them into office because of those principles, not in spite of them!

That's a depressing thought, but unfortunately, I think you're right.
