Do Republicans need a Legislator with an attitude like Wexler or Boxer to begin speaking out?

Why can't we Republicans have a Legislator speak out and professionally cause a voice to be heard on issues that are conservative. Who would be a good choice to do that? Someone that has respect AND an attitude. We always seem to talk after the fact and late. We need to start now being heard instead of always being nice. Name your candidate.

Newt was great. He scared 'em all.

One of the requirements for being a Republican these days is having the spine of a bowl of Jello.
To: VanNay
They already have one: Sen. John McCain!

Without question, the single biggest factor hurting our party today is the lack of charismatic leaders.

We could use a little more charisma, but Wexler and Boxer? Ugh! We don't need to sink that low!
To: VanNay
Some smartalec on the net recently said, "The Democrats may be crooked, mean, and nasty but they got balls." Well, maybe not Boxer.

Because if our people legislate from the garbage dump, then they are legislating GARBAGE, (as does Boxtop and her trasy group).

What conservative ideas is McCain speaking out on?

"They already have one: Sen. John McCain!"
Sen. John McCain is about as conservative as Ho Chi Minh!

An outspoken Democrat is articulate; an outspoken Republican is divisive.
An outspoken Democrat will get lots of air time to espouse the views of the party. An outspoken Republican's collegues will get lots of air time as long as they spend that time distancing themselves from the outspoken Republican.
An outspoken Democrat "shares" his "vision" with America. An outspoken Republican "forces" his "morals" on America.

They already have one: Sen. John McCain! LOL! Thanks, I needed the laugh.

For about 2 years. And then he was as impotent as the rest.

Well, we do have a loud and outspoken Republican Congressmen who voted against amnesty for illegal immigrants and is a famous Bill Clinton-hater. Bob Barr is very outspoken and happens to be one of my personal favorites in Congress.

What about Tancredo??

If you think the Republicans in Congress have acted with principle over the past few years, I can't help but sigh. Likewise, if you think Newt Gingrich looked good on television, I'd hate to see what you consider an ugly person to look like.

Unfortunately, newt let his power go to his head in record-setting time. He quickly became unpalatable even to those of us who initially liked and desperately wanted to support him. I think part of his problem was his hero worship of bill cliton. Another part was his deciding to join cliton in trying to govern our country with his pants down around his ankles.
