Republicans are in trouble NATION WIDE and the reason is because no one on our side is willing to fight. Our leaders are too busy apologizing. Nothing makes our side buckle like Cindy Sheehan with a mic or a group of disorganized Code Pinkos.
Another problem on the national level is that New York and California would vote for Adolph Hitler, so long as he was on the democrat ticket. That's a huge head start....
Americans like winners. Despite the rampant corruption and extremism of the Dems, they act like winners (helps to have the One Party Press admittedly).
Repubs still act like wimps and losers.
Big problem and getting worse, lead by Apologizer In Chief Bush.
The only fighter who has announced is Duncan Hunter, and if you think there are no fighters, more are in the background.
I really think this is the root of so many FReepers supporting Giuliani -- he gives the impression at least that he won't take crap!
I'm personally far from supporting anyone yet for '08, but one thing I always did rather like about Giuliani is that he's not mealy-mouthed, the besetting sin of most Republicans. Sadly.
You nailed the problem. The Pubbies are a bunch of spineless wimps.
