We don't fight back and explain why Republican ideas are better.

That is most certainly true for the vast herd of republicans -- they simply cannot articulate a vision of a stronger future based on conservative principles. Unfortunately, we need the once-in-a-generation truly great leader to break through and do that. Two come to mind - Reagan and Gingrich with the Contract with America. It was done before and let's pray to God Republicans can come to their senses and do it again.

Nowadays, when someone like Palin comes on the scene, a lot of Republicans attack her. Or if Rush Limbaugh is attacked by the Democrats, the head of the RNC goes on TV and says, "You know, those Democrats have a point."

What did Palin and Limbaugh have in common? It's simple: Average people really like them. They have mass support and can attract cheering crowds.

The Republican Party needs to get its act together and stop attacking every Republican who stirs up mass support.
