If you keep retreating, this will never happen!
Republicans have been "saving their bullets" forever. Time to unload.
The visible tree is the one we see,
Here rotten, there broken,
And all racked by age.
The few live limbs poke through,
Poke through tattered tent flaps,
Here and there - - - - .
The deep fertile soil sustains,
Sustains the strong the tree roots
That are now silent,
Waiting for Spring to come.
This Winter is the time for pruning,
Pruning with great care,
To dig out all the rotten wood,
And cut off dead limbs
Long past use.
Who will come to prune and save,
This Grand Old Republican Tree?
The dying tree cannot prune itself,
Thus, it is up to you and me.
I can see Mr. Sowell’s point but I get the queasy feeling that the GOP has no stomach for a fight, ever. What will be their excuse when the GOP holds both houses of Congress? That they still can’t win because Obama stands in the way? And then if a Republican is put in the WH in 2016 what will they say? That the Democrats are filibustering everything in the Senate and there is nothing they can do?
I just want to know WHEN will the time to fight come?
