Question of the day: Does the GOP have enough balls?

And no, I’m not talking about basketballs or baseballs or golf balls. You know what I’m talking about — excuse the language, but we need to be blunt. And you know that it’s the question that will hang over the Republican Party from now until November as it tries to persuade the base — let alone the American electorate — that it can provide a real alternative to the current crop of big government corruptocrats in power in Washington. So: Does the GOP have enough balls to fight the Left or doesn’t it? You know about my doubts. You’ve heard my warning about McCain Regression Syndrome. Now, I want you to read every word of what Andy McCarthy has to say about the GOP leadership’s abandonment of Jim Bunning — and what it says about the lack of Republican fortitude in the war against the permanent, ever-growing Nanny State. Andy speaks the truth. Hard truths. And fiscal conservatives/Tea Party activists need to shout them from the rooftops. I’ve invoked Phyllis Schlafly many times over the past year in urging the GOP to provide true choices instead of echoes. Actions speak louder than words. So, alas, does feckless inaction:

My answer - they had better shop around and buy a pair PDQ, or We The People will be shopping for new representatives. The Primary Elections cometh...

When Mitchie the Kid has to be dragged from beneath his desk, kicking and screaming, just because he has to decide when the senate should adjourn? Oh yeah...I’M HOPEFUL AS HELL!!

If you mean beach balls to keep them entertained while they are on their perpetual vacation from reality, they no doubt have plenty.

What the Republicans need in response to the Tea Parties is a “Testical Festival”

Only problem: In order to have a "Testicle Festival" you need testicles.

We're SOL!

Precisely my sentiment during the last presidential election.
My vote was squarely for Governor Sarah Palin and we unfortunately had to accept RINO Senator John McCain as part of the package deal.
Donations to that campaign happened only after she was named as his running mate.

Yesterday, I faxed my Senators - Kyl and RINO John McCain - and asked them the exact same question. No cajones.

They won’t answer. I have tried it too.

The last letter I got from McCain, answered somebodys question, but it sure as hell wasn’t the one I asked ;-)

I would challenge anyone to ask if they had the balls. Vote every Rino out and vote in a Navy Seal.

You are precisely correct...
Senator Bunning could have used a very simple explanation (like you illustrated) of why people can't have everything wanted.
What happens when unemployed outnumber the employed in this country?
President 0bama is toying with healthcare...that would resolve itself with more people working.

Yeah. We've got Palin and Bachmann who, between them, have more than most of their male counterparts combined.

AMEN!

Honestly, I wish she didn’t use that headline language. We are conservatives, aren’t we?

Michael Steele has been RNC Chairman since January 30, 2009.

I had big hopes for his leadership. He is a fiscal conservative with a great resume, but he doesn’t appear to have a killer instinct against the Dems when we need it.

He was very popular with the GOP voters in MD (with Bob Erlich), but in subsequent contests was unable to inspire any disillusioned MD Dem crossover; after which he seems to have lost his way.

He has no support on FR. Don’t remember when his term is up.
