1. Manage expectations.
2. Serve the people, not the press.
3. Neutralize the grievance-mongers: Confront the race card early and often.
4. Neutralize Alinsky’s avenging angels: Counter the human shield strategy early and often.
5. Don’t fall prey to Chicken Little Syndrome again. Don’t.

11. DON’T GROW GOVERNMENT, SHRINK IT!
10 rules for Michelle Malkin
1. Marry me
2. Marry me
3. Marry me .............
We will soon see an all out assault on the republicans and their attempt to cut spending.
The party of abortion will say the republicans want to harm children.
The party of death panels will say the republicans want to hurt old people.
The party of failed schools will say the republicans will hurt the education system.
The party that spent all the Social Security money and left IOU’s will say the republicans will take away your Social Security.
But the best will be when the party that supports the black panthers and government forms that ask you to identify your “race” call the republicans racist.
Unfotunately, she's already taken.......
In all due respect to Ms. Malkin, I say #1 is for the GOP to grow a spine and #2 is to grow a pair of brass ones.
I guess all that’s implied in her top 10, but these days it has to be spelled out methinks.
#11. Don’t give in to the temptation to seek personal or political gain at the expense of your Constitutional duty.
Number XX (I saw #11 and #12 below already): Be proactive and forceful in countering the upcoming arguments/criticisms/whining from the left. Keep them on the defensive all the time. Use the MSM to present the conservative view/position. Develop and then maintain the courage of your convictions and know that you represent the majority of the American voters!
10. This is your oath of office. Live it: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”
LOL!!
Great list. I might add:
11. Any offer to compromise by the other side must be regarded as a ruse and warrants the tightest of scrutiny. Reagan once said, vis-a-vis arms negotiations, “trust but verify.” Well, in this case, go farter. DON’T TRUST. Verify and verify again.
farter=farhter
Jeez... why did I have to step on THAT word??
farter=farther
Jeez... why did I have to step on THAT word??
farter=farhter
Alright. Coffee time.
I have one request...
Quit making grandiose speeches and pandering to the press, just do some f***ing work.
They will not play by old rules and mores that they never knew about.
The media is scared to death, as they are afraid that even they can't shield the demonRATS from this new crew.
The old veteran pubbies are going to have to get on board or drown {and they are starting to know it}.
I watched a fat frank luntz focus group {on Hannity last night} of new pubbie congress critters and was berry, berry impressed.
They were all saving the right things and I believed them. I know how Washington can corrupt people, but it's our job to keep an eye on our own congress critter.
If they deviate from the course, you've got to be aware and let them know that you know.
#1 Rule = DownSize DC!
Close Entire Departments (EPA, Energy, FDA, Education)
