What would they do if they owned a network anyway? Not always, but most of the time when a Republican appears on one of the talking head shows with a 'Rat, the Republican is totally ineffective. They don't correct the 'Rat lies, they just sit there looking slightly guilty (for what, fer cryin' out loud??) and let the 'Rats talk over them.
This country, and the Republicans in particular, need to come to an understanding about what we're up against. We can't play politics as usual, or we'll all be paying homage to the moon-god. (Those of us who still have our heads, that is.)

You realize of course that you're discussing politics with a horrible and loathsome Democrat?
I agree that conservatives in general are not very good at communicating conservatism in a positive light. That was the gift that Ronaldus Maximus had: the ability to communicate a positive conservative vision for the future and have others want a piece of that vision.
Contrast the message of a shining city on the hill with the GOP message of the 2006 election: vote like your life depended on it, because it does. Not exactly a positive message to rally the troops, is it?
Practical politics is the key in my view. Part of that is communicating a positive message for conservative issues at the grassroots level.
There are so many areas where conservative ideas and values are doing so well for so many people that it's just a crying shame that conservatives can't seem to communicate that.
