The GOP has damaged its brand name; they have made themselves meaningless, and are probably going to go the way of the Wigs. I see many are more loyal to a rotten brand then to the underlying values they are supposed to represent. Some of you will buy anything thrown into the Republican cereal box. I voted for Mel Martinez the last time around because he made the right noises and had that little R next to his name; but; after the latest immigration fiasco, I will be pulling to throw the anti-American SOB out of office. The Republicans can either run a replacement or lose the seat; the choice is theirs.
We must understand that the left has changed the culture through incremental changes. They have shown us how for 30 years the culture has been nudged from Beaver Cleaver conservatism to Queer Eye for The Straight Guy socialism. We have been like frogs in a pan of slowly heating water. Many of us were not even aware that it was happening. This stealth methodology is so below the counter that we do not know it is being used.
Obviously, the Republican Party is playing a similar stealth game to swing the culture to the right. Because it is happening so subtily, we think they are doing nothing. Some are asking, "Where's the beef?" The trouble is that in order to engage in a stealth operation, you cannot let your enemy in on the strategy. You cannot tell anyone that the beef is under the counter in a brown paper wrapper.
