There was no coverup. HERE is the whole problem. OUR side has decided to play it as a "plauge on all their houses" rather then holding the Junk Media accountable for their factual errors.
I would love someone to ask one of these people. WHAT should Hastert of done? A Rep comes to him and tells him about 2 emails sent by another Rep to one of his constituents. Remember Hastert is an older male. Imagining he is going to have all the hip late 1990s dogma about how to spot a Sexual Predators down is nonsense. They look into it. The emails are not actionable. They sit the guy down and tell him to knock it off. HE knocks it off. There is NO report of any contact AFTER the warning was issued. Innocent until proven Guilty ISN'T just a slogan. In the perfect world, what was Hastert suppose to do?
I agree, I think the Republican Congressional Leadership has been very weak. However, we should be thinking only about winning Nov 7. House Cleaning takes place AFTER you win and start setting up leadership for the new Congress. You do not clean house BEFORE you win.
I agree-unity is what we need now, not intra party bickering. To be honest, I think the Dems are overplaying this hand...
Yes. We should be shouting
"You do not clean house BEFORE you win."
Agreed. Human Events website has a top 10 list of good choices that could be considered afterwards. But first we must win!
I agree about the GOP leadership (or lack of it). Hastert has always seemed to be going with the flow from the day he was installed. He reminds me too much of Bob Michel, the lame, wimpy, minority leader that the GOP had for years....more interested in his title than what could be accomplished.
I agree MNJ!
I really think the Repubs have an aweful time responding to this crap...but you have to remember they are under a microscope designed to only entrap them. The press just waits for them to make the wrong move. And they are in Washington where everything is amplified 10 fold...so I guess I would be a little skittish.
I get so frustrated with them not standing up for themselves but....they have to play it light. Remember the MSM still controls the megaphone and until that is no longer the case we are going to have to always step on eggshells and in the proccess seem skittish.
