Good post. Got any suggestions beyond Bush/McCain style "bipartisanship" [read: caving]?
I've never used the "B" word in my life, far from it. I want to see our party leaders NOT get along. I want them fighting. Fighting on the House and Senate floor; fighting in every print, radio and television interview they give. I want to see them ATTACK. Attack DEMS; Attack Libs; and most importantly - I want them to start attacking the media, frequently, feverishly and personally.
But, to pretend that the media is going to die some time soon or late (as many on this board do) I think is a grievous mistake. Someone said in an early post on this thread that conservatives should never even appear on NBC and the like. This could be the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
Voters watch television news and read papers despite claims to the contrary. If conservatives and Republicans don't start fighting for these voters as if they are fighting for the very existence of the country - then that's what we'll have - the end of the Republic.
My message would be start engaging, start fighting and stop trying to "just get along."
