"Yup, I'll remember it at the polls and will vote for a Republican over a Dumb-o-crat! As for the Republicans responding to the outrageous allegations and lies it will come in due time. Right now they are busy handling a disaster and and their actions speak louder then words!"
I primarily agree with you, except that not all Pubbies are handling the disaster and they need to get their hineys out there and start discussing what other Pubbies are doing and the failure of the NO Mayor and the Gov of LA. Otherwise, they're going to be more and more on the defense (as they often find themselves). They need to get out there on the offense for a change. I think they've tried to be Mr Nice-Guy and above the fray, like they ususally are, but it doesn't work w this. While I'll agree that there's plenty of time for finger pointing and blame later, the Dims have come out swinging and politicizing this and the Pubbies need to respond now.
I can't remember the last time RINOs effectively and propmtly responded to the hysterics of the Left. Usually the hysterics are just repeated so much that they become truth.
Even during the 2004 election, the Swift Boats were the only ones fighting the SPIN machine.
2006 is going to be a Waterloo for the GOP.
I won't hold my breath while waiting for this to happen. For some reason, the GOP just can't handle the media and loudmouthed dem's. They have a very poor media/pr department.
