This seems to be a problem with republicans, even the ones we sent to Washington. Just heard Jed Babbin on a local radio show here in Indy saying the GOP is not in charge. The word is that the dems are still running things.

I don’t know what is wrong with the republicans, but they are going to find themselves being challenged with 3rd party candidates if they fail to lead.

You are too young to remember it but there was this IMPEACH EARL WARREN sign up for decades down toward Franklin.

I know the guys who paid for that sign thought of both Democrats and Republicans as being somewhat short of being patriotic.

Many flowers shall bloom eh!

Did you catch my post elsewhere on the experiences of Oliver P. Morton, Civil War Governor, and the need for Republicans to escape to Madison Indiana to avoid being murdered by the Democrats who ran the legislature?

Bet you didn't.

All is not as it seems, and Indiana has a history of quite vigorous, violent even, political debate and conflict.

This seems to be a problem with republicans, even the ones we sent to Washington.

They are consumed with their portrayal in the media, and deep down believe that the left-wing media defines reality. They do not realize that their constitutents can think for themselves. Until they stop worrying about their images in the press (a losing battle, which they also don't get) and start acting on their principles with consequences being damned, they will forever be the kid standing at the seashore ready to dip his toe in the oncoming surf and then running away at the last minute.
