We got the 1994 Republican revolution. But what has that gotten us? Newt quit, Dick Armey's gone. All of the Republicans that had any fire in their belly have left.
Republican politicians have a short term memory. I want to support the President, but I'm losing sight of where he is leading us.
This President is a man of tremendous character and of quiet resolve. Traits that are sorely lacking among most men anymore today. Traits that are no longer admired...and yet mocked. This President has dealt with a great many issues and done very well by this Country on the whole. Sure there are some issues that haven't gone exactly like all of us on the right would like....That's life!...pick any Administration in our history...and that will have been the case.
Furthermore this CIC is leading not our great nation...America, but he is leading the world in the WOT.
The GOP base cannot allow the ilk of the anti-military, anti-America, anti-success of the WOT Democrats to hold a majority in Congress. Not while we have soldiers off fighting on distance shores. We cannot stick a knife in their back like that....(over domestic policy differences)...
No there are plenty of times to step away from one's party....but this is certainly not one of those times! This is a time to stand shoulder to shoulder with our CIC and soldiers in the field and let the democrats know come hell or high water we are going to defeat you.
08 is the time for this fight - in the primaries -
"We got the 1994 Republican revolution. But what has that gotten us? "
Welfare Reform that was the best conservative public policy in the last generation.
What have we gotten in the last year?
- Sam Alito, Chief Justice John Roberts
- Energy Bill that lets us build nuclear power plants
- Tax cuts extensions (vote this week)
"All of the Republicans that had any fire in their belly have left."
Mike Pence, Tom Coburn ... the beat goes on.
I agree. My Dad (hard-core conservative repub) is loosing faith, as am I. I am honestly afraid that we are loosing our base. People on this forum can defend and call us whatever they want, but I fear that the "loyals" are leaving.
