GEN. Colin Powell is wrong to say that the Republican Party must move to the center: Now is not the time to try for triangulation.
This is a time for the party to stand firm on its principles until this nation again comes around to the GOP's way of thinking. This process will be driven by the consequences of President Obama's program.
The challenge brought by Obama is no longer just theoretical: He means to pass the ultimate leftist agenda and has the votes to do so.
As a result, our nation will be unrecognizable well before the 2010 elections. Business will march to a beat drummed in Washington. The top producers will be hounded by confiscatory taxation. A majority will pay nothing or receive government welfare. Our health-care system will be destroyed. Illegal immigrants will be well on their way to citizenship.

I am not of the opinion that the majority of the current crop of republicrats has enough spine to mount more than token resistance. Its up to them to prove me wrong.
If the GOP is seen as a moderate force, a party just looking to split the difference, voters will cynically conclude that there is no distinction between the parties.
Houston....I think we've got a problem

Bingo. The vanguard for change has to come from outside the beltway. There is a small remnant of conservatives, but people like Coburn, DeMint and Boehner need outside help. In 1994 it was Contract with America. I think the theme for 2010 needs to be Fire ‘em All.
Anyone care to play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon?
I’ll go first: Kevin Bacon was in “Apollo 13” with Tom Hanks who was in “You’ve Got Mail” with Meg Ryan....
Except for Sarah there is no one.
We must tell them to:

“I’ll go first: Kevin Bacon was in “Apollo 13” with Tom Hanks who was in “You’ve Got Mail” with Meg Ryan....”
Who was in Courage Under Fire with Denzel Washington, who was the Manchurian Candidate..
Is Morris moving right or is the rest of his old gang moving left too fast for him to catch them?
General Colon who?
He has been moving right since 9/11 but I still don’t trust the little toe sucker. Let’s not forget that he and his wife were consultants to “zero’s” kenyan cousin odinga in that infamous presidential election.
“I’ll go first: Kevin Bacon was in “Apollo 13” with Tom Hanks who was in “You’ve Got Mail” with Meg Ryan....”
Who was in Courage Under Fire with Denzel Washington, who was the Manchurian Candidate..
Who was in Glory with Matthew Broderick...
Colin Bowell is headed for the drain field..
Who was in the Freshman with Marlon Brando, who was the Godfather.
(Marlon Brando) Who was in Don Juan De Marco with Johnny Depp.
did i just lose? or do we keep going til someone gets there?
Cynically conclude there is no distinction between the parties??? Look, Dick ... may I call you Dick? ... there may well be some distinction between the parties ... the fundamental issue is that whatever differences there are, they are not sufficient to alter in any meaningful way the path that Democrats would have this country travel.
The scope, scale, and trajectory of Leviathan government is not altered by either party ... every year it costs more, taxes more, regulates more, grows on its own failures, and makes us less free as a people and as individuals. In that regard, there is NO distinction.
I was going to go with Marlon Brando in the Godfather to Al Pacino to Al Israel in Scarface to my dad who knew Al to me.
And that is how I am connected to Kevin Bacon.
Cool. How did your dad come to know Al Israel?
Thanks for playing the Kevin Bacon game with me. I didn’t cheat altho i considered it and decided it wouldn’t be in the spirit of the game. You really had me cornered with Marlon Brando tho.
