The talk show hosts are ginning up the sheeple against republicans rather than against democrats. Winning elections is not about being bullies, it's about persuasion.

I'm tired of having to settle for the lesser of the evils just because the Republican Party lacks the leadership skills to LEAD people. Instead, the Republicans keep moving leftwards instead of LEADING the nation to the right. Today's Republicans in Congress are no different from the Democrats of 20 years ago. Yes, the Democrats have slid further leftward, but that is no excuse for the Republican Party to abandon its principles and slide leftward with them. The fish rots from the head. The Republican Party is rotten at the leadership level in the RNC. How long are we going to tolerate having the party run by people who ignore the party platform and who supports candidates whose views are counter to the traditional values of the Republican Party?

Sticking to pronciple isn't bullying.

Don't let Democrats convince you that surrender is the only way to be liked.

And you have the mistaken idea that winning means giving in to the opponents ideas, and parroting a watered-down version.

What we have is "Big Tent/Big Gulp"-ism...the "Party over Principles" crowd have run the business into the ground by alienating it's customers.

Like Reagan, you win with ideas...you win by fighting for your ideas...not "persuading", because all that does is let the "persuaded" twist in the wind until they are "persuaded" back the other way...you win by BEATING the other guy...not agreeing with him!

Winning is about doing what is right...not just to get re-elected. When we elect these hosebags, they are supposed to do their jobs, not pad their pockets, mouth platitudes, and get invited to parties!

Just because a Traitor has an (R) next to their name, they are no less a Traitor!

Winning without Values and Principles is not winning...it's feeding at the public trough!

And THAT is what we got with "Compassionate Conservatism"...that is what we got with "diversity"...that is what we got by trying to out DemonRAT the DemonRATs...and that is what we got by letting this Country become the playthings of two political families...Bush and Clinton!

No more...nada...zip...time to throw them all out and start again!
