To make a long story short, THIS is the republican party as it exists today. We have waited and waited thinking that doing the same things over and over would heal it even as it got worse and worse before our eyes. Even as it filled up with dead tissue and became gangrenous. Loyalty to our "dog" has nearly cost us its life. Everyone was saying, (and believing,) that Conservatism was dead, including mister newt. Even Rush, bless him, could not rouse us.
Then along came Sarah, the sister from hundreds of miles away to pay us a surprise visit. And she has supplied the common sense medicine we needed as no one has for decades.
Say what you will, whether she runs, whether she doesn't, she brought us a different way of looking at things. She took on her own party giants and like David, she whupped Goliath in front of GOD and everyone. She didn't back down. She said no more of this crap and corruption. She is still saying it, and WE are saying it too.
WE are saying it loud and clear. The dead tissue that corrupts the body MUST be exised lest the body die, and with it, everything that this country has ever stood for. Even the worst Sarah basher on the planet recognises what she has done, and make no mistake, it WAS her, and her alone, who brought this thing to a head.
Now they say she engenders fear within the party, but I say it isn't JUST Sarah they fear. It's US and we ARE the "party." See, Sarah was alone when she came, but she is not alone anymore. Not by a long shot. All she did was say out loud what we all knew but did not have the guts to act upon.
Well, it's all different now. And we will NOT back down.
Wonderful analogy. Unfortunately, too many, as shown here, are wed to failure. Since you’ve used a dog analogy, there’s another that comes to mind. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
Excellent analogy! Seeing cellulitis (sp?) And open wound in a dear relative who lost his life to gangrene (too hard on his heart)...I can relate well..
“she brought us a different way of looking at things.”
So true!
And obama helped us see the light in his own way.., congress made the light even more illuminating—tea parties are evidence of this!
