That is exactly the advice (not specifically about illegal immigration) that I sent Perry. He has to come out swinging if he wants to improve his numbers. We watched as W kept quiet, never defended himself against outright lies, and let the left set the narrative. We don’t want that ever again.
We want a fighter not a slow, patient marathon runner. That’s why people love Rush, Sarah, and recently Newt. Conservatives are desperate for the truth to be told loudly and often. If a conservative candidate took the fight to the enemy on a consistent basis, (s)he would receive overwhelming support and probably vast sums of money.
What really burns my backside with the ‘Modern Republican” is this...
Personally, I don’t consider myself any smarter or dumber that the average person. But when I look at the fact that Republicans since Ronaldus Magnus only seem to ‘speak up’ with the ever-decreasing frequency it takes to keep the voters on board...well, suddenly conspiracy theories don’t seem so outlandish. Now I’m never going to buy the Truther thing, simply because I don’t believe GWB is evil. I don’t doubt for a second however that Obama’s crew would do it though, as they ARE evil.
But to the point. I worked for a decade in different aspects of mainstream and internet media late 90s to 2008. I am well aware how that den of vipers ‘works’ and assure you to question everything including their usage of “the” and especially ‘is” ;)
As for the Repubs: Lets say you have a group of children playing baseball near a house and a ball goes through a window. A critically thinking person does not make the leap of ‘logic’ that due to the annual meteor shower, an errant bolide happened to impact and divert a ball tossed at 23.5 deg. relative to the original angle of....
Most likely, Occam’s Razor would direct us to little Billy.
Likewise, when we have an entire Republican political party willing to ignore, even assist the things that they have under Clinton/Gore/Pelosi/Reid/Obama and all the incestual governing combos thereof, well, I’m looking to the tabloids for guidance, not the NY Times. Or I simply admit to myself that the people who say that Dempublican Party exists aren’t nuts.
There is a reason that none of these Republicans play hardball. Perhaps it’s fear of black riots if Obama is ousted. Perhaps it’s the fact that the economy is about to crash due to their stupidity in guiding us down the road to Marxism. Perhaps The Pleadeians won’t allow us into the Galactic Federation until we form a one world government ruled under the guise of Green justice...
But there is a reason that the Republican party refuses to follow its own platform and is hellbent on giving us the BS they do rather than the governance we demand.
We must start raising hell that our ‘party’ (the one that conservatives have as the lesser of the evils...Ah! But is it really?) isn’t following it’s own platform...so just whose platform ARE they following?
I rant, therefore I Iz ;)
