Unity at all costs?
We will never regain our momentum unless the RINO effect abandoning the conservative agenda is clearly understood: The traducing of Tom DeLay, Bob Livingston, while Republicans remained almost silent was WRONG.
Republicans shilled themselves and the conservative agenda as long as it got them votes, and when the going got rough? They bailed. Hastert is one, a beck and call man for RINOs. He would not even let the AG prosecute a felon who was caught red handed ( Jefferson, the Dem Kick Back Bagman from Louisianna), going into the election's final months, DeLay and others saw no such respite.
People are responsible. They have to go: That includes John McCain, Arlen Spector, Dennis Hastert. The party will NEVER regain power without the conservative agenda.
Unity at all Costs is NOT the way to go.
Instead, ask how we can get men like Tom DeLay to step into leadership roles in the Republican Party.
Thanks for helping me illustrate my point. While in office, and even after he left, the DBM lied, distorted, and misconstrued DeLay's statements/positions on a daily basis. DeLay was their personal dragon to slay. I'm convinced he was a successful target they helped to politically destroy. Even DeLay himself stated, when he resigned, he was doing so to prevent the DBM from using him as an anti-GOP lightening rod.
Delay isn't stupid. He KNOWS the power and bias of the DBM. Because of this, he could not move into the leadership.
