MI GOP Chairman Comments on Election Day Results

LANSING, Mich. – Michigan Republican Party Chairman Saulius “Saul” Anuzis today commented on the results of the 2008 General Election, offering thanks to the thousands of GOP volunteers who worked tirelessly to support candidates and turnout voters to the polls.
Michigan GOP Chairman Saulius “Saul” Anuzis:

“Michigan Republicans made a valiant effort to fend off a national ‘anti-Republican’ tsunami. I can’t say strongly enough how proud I am of the individual efforts by so many of our Republican grass-root supporters. As I traveled the state this last week on our ‘Fight to the Finish Tour,’ there was story after story of creative door-to-door blitzes, localized calling rallies, and candidates fighting hard against long odds. Michigan Republicans rallied as a team to fight to the finish, regardless of what pundits and others said or did.

“While others gave up on us, Michigan Republicans never gave up. Thousands of volunteers came out in the final weeks to fight for our values and our beliefs. It is my fervent belief that we are the right party with the right ideas. I do not believe these results indicate a repudiation of those ideas. Unfortunately, America lost faith in our ability to deliver on those ideas. In this environment, there was very little to be done on a state or local level to ride out the storm.

“Our challenge going forward is to renew the faith of the American people in our party. We are the party that represents the best hopes of America. Unfortunately, some of our elected leaders broke faith with the American people, on so many of our Republican core issues, that Republicans lost the ability to appeal to middle class families. On issues of national security, spending, taxes, and values, too many Republicans have not kept their promise to America. But by returning to those fundamentals, we can once again be a majority party. It is more then just tactics and mechanics. It is about believing in and living your principles.

“I believe that when our party once again adheres to our core values and beliefs, and can again demonstrate to America that we can be trusted on those issues, we will make a comeback – stronger than ever.”

This was written by Anuzis? He sounds better than "we were too ugly and too mean" just for trying to get the public to see who are the friends of our new president!

I'm sick of the "we're too mean" wing of the party!
