We can take the low road, but remember the media covered for the left when they did it.
When the democrats went overseas and criticized President Bush in foreign press and in interviews, nothing was said about the policy that politics stops at the water’s edge.
When the lies about the admin were spread all over the media abetted it.
The media is not neutral. Anything that goes below the belt like the other two sites which shall not sully my keyboard did, and they did say some hideous garbage, was covered up.
We will not have that luxury. The GOP must be as cunning as foxes.
Further to your point, I do believe we are in uncharted water here. Never in the history of the Republic has the opposition party had so many forces working against it. The media and it’s overwhelming advocacy for the liberal ideology will make it all but impossible for Republicans to mount a measurable resurgence in just four short years.
I believe that any opposition that the new house minority leadership offers to the administration and congressional majority will be painted as 1)sour grapes 2)thwarting the “will of the people” and finally 3)Radical right wing extremism.
These are very troubling times indeed. And, to agree with the original poster, these are no times to play nice with your opponents. This isn’t a friendly Sunday afternoon day of tennis, this is a battle for the soul of the country. The Republicans should act accordingly.
