With all due respect....
NO HE SHOULDN’T HAVE.
If we have learned nothing from George W. Bush it’s that failing to defend yourself/remaining silent in the face of lies and mean-spirited...DOES NOT GAIN YOU ANY RESPECT.
Defend yourself at every turn and call them down for the nastiness.
I admire the guy and hope the rest of the pubs don’t teach him proper Repub behavior is remaining silent in the face of any criticism, playing the game with a different set of rules with a smile, living with unfair double standards, keeping all hairs in their appropriate places and nails polished, stay in the tanning booths as long as required and most important of all...ALWAYS REACH ACROSS THE AISLE.
I agree 100%. Every Republican needs to call out every Democrat every time they make an outrageous statement, which is every day. Sitting back and hoping the media notices what a well-behaved gentleman you are does nothing. If you didn’t learn it from GWB, you should have learned it from McCain. You can be the Media’s favorite Republican for 10 years, and they will still brand you as a foaming-at-the-mouth, right wing extremist when it suits their purpose.
George W. Bush ignored the haters as he should have. Just my opinion.......
Brown’s responses which are sometimes humorous, and always spot on, remind me of Reagan. If he ever decided to run for president, he would be formidable.
Nah, I disagree. If President Bush had drawn attention to the hatred and bitterness aimed at him, he would have been playing right into the opposition’s hand. Instead, he took the high road and ignored it. He had better things to do than to give his opposition reason to continue attacking him. As long as he ignored it, it made his attackers look and sound petty.
Defend yourself at every turn and call them down for the nastiness.
Absolutely 100% correct! For eight years, Bush allowed the demoRATs and the media to pound on him unmercifully for every single thing, and not once did Bush really stand up and hit back at them. Even now, when 0bozo spreads enormous lies about Bush's economy (5-6% unemployment) but 0bozo's economy is now 17-18% unemployment and massive deficits, GW Bush STILL will not respond or call 0bozo a flat out lying SOB. Even Senate or House Republicans should scream & holler back for 0bozo's lies and they just won't do it.
So I think it is a breath of fresh air to actually see a Repub like Brown hitting back at boozer & druggie Patrick Kennedy with a perfect understated reply but tremendous power & intensity. What is Kennedy to do now? Any further response on his part will only fan the flames that he is spoiled brat, petulant loser. It is win-win for Scott Brown and lose-lose for the pig Patrick Kennedy.
“If we have learned nothing from George W. Bush it’s that failing to defend yourself/remaining silent in the face of lies and mean-spirited...DOES NOT GAIN YOU ANY RESPECT.”
And especially with the RAT press, and the RATS in general, who will not respect you no matter what you do, say, or DON’T say...
