I don't care for this, fancy footwork either. My darkest nightmare is losing all political leverage in America very soon. I honestly feel our Presidents political maneuverings are a result of the rights previous blatant stupidity.
It could be that the conservative right would rather beat the opposition into submission, rather than win their hearts and souls. Please, don't beat me up on that, it's too late, going to bed.
The left has seized the advantage on the battlefield of rhetoric, and the right has been getting killed by it. The left uses words like "peace", "choice", "rights", and "the children"; and it uses images to attack conservatives like: blacks being dragged to death and old women getting pushed down flights of stairs-- anything to represent that conservatives are evil and "intolerant" and that liberalism is the balm to calm all fears of what the inhuman Republicans will do if elected.
What's the answer? I would like our Republican candidates for office to grow testicles and actually talk about the real issues in America. How many Republicans have actually discussed the incredible flood of illegal aliens coming from Mexico, Haiti, The Middle East, Somalia, etc, etc, etc? To actually take a stand on this issue is to risk being called a "racist". So Republican politicians have taken the course of appeasement. They try to be so damn nice and inoffensive that when they open their mouths they sound no different than Dems.
Would that Ronaldus Magnus return! He was the last Republican who was able to seize the minds and hearts of conservatives with humor and grace. Compared to him, today's Republican leaders look and act like spineless fools....
