Here the press, including Orin, should take some responsibility for excluding the good, and spinning the negative. The Bush administration has been remarkably consistent in their message, even to the point of inviting media criticism for always being "on message". The media does like sensationalism, particularly if it undercuts our efforts in Iraq which would tend to support the Democrat position that fighting in Iraq was a fraud. Is it ineptitude, or bias? Both are well documented.
The reason, the media intones, is not for lack of facts.
It is for lack of efficacy.
That is, the Bush administration haven't kicked the media's ass and embarrassed them to the point of humiliation.
Good God. Someday, Conservatives will awaken to the key to the success of political power in America.
What is the key?
Read on to find out, if you dare. Schwarzenegger's got it. Reagan had it. Dad Bush did not and lost. McNader doesn't have a chance. Senate leader Lott and now Frist were AWOL on this quality, and it has seriously undermined the Bush administration because of their lack of it. Buckley, in spite of his intellect, never had it. Neither does Will. But Rush - the man practically invented it and sweats it from every pore. Miller's got it. Coulter? Oh yeah, she carries the torch proudly. It saved the 2000 election, and is the only thing that will save America.
Does W. Bush have it? Yes, but he's reluctant to use it unless he feels he must, when it is sometimes too late. He needs to get it front and center, flat out, no holds barred. He is isolated by advisors who do not have this quality, nor understand how important it is.
What is it?
The Segway? No.
It is the Power of the Warrior Crusader, the fierce and menacing street-wise take no enemies Freeper Conservatives.
Freepers are largely responsible for taking back the election in 2000 with grassroots robust protests and effective dissemination of the truth at a time when our entire lives and futures could have turned on a more passive approach.
Like our forefathers who created this great nation, Warrior Freepers share a burning desire to protect and advance freedom and liberty in the world, and to expose and destroy the Evil of creeping Socialism. We have a deep, immovable passion for America, and we are Good.
It is my opinion that the foremost quality for nominating a candidate for future political office in the new millennium is simply this (to paraphrase Elaine on Seinfeld:) IS THAT CANDIDATE WARRIOR FREEPER WORTHY?
Almost nothing else matters. To be a Trent Lott sitting-duck, or a Bill Frist debating with the demagogues Schumer and Rangel, you need to be a courageous fighter first and foremost to penetrate the left-wing media conspiracy, withstand and anticipate the lies and deception of the Socialists, and get in the faces of the voters.
The Liberal Liars rely on the good-natured and pious polite intelligent conservatives of years past when they spread their deception and shamelessness across the air waves directly to the voters. If not, no amount of intelligence, qualification, or experience can make up a lack of this quality.
But now, Warrior Freepers are holding these weasels accountable, by their throats. You are either WARRIOR FREEPER WORTHY, or you are not a qualified Conservative candidate.
