The current state of the GOP brings to mind the surviving Marines in Aliens, with no shortage of demoralized hacks lamenting their inability to resist by channeling Private Hudson: “Maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events but we just got our a**** kicked, pal!”

So what? So we took a hit on the Fiscal Cliff. Stand up, brush off and get back into the fight. This is no time for self-pity, no time for weakness. Every combat leader knows that when you take a hit, you regroup, reorganize, and prepare to counterattack. The defense is but a temporary, transitory period that serves just one single purpose – to prepare your forces to resume the offensive.

I think it might be "game over" when the Republicans kind of forget to mention that we can't go into the alien nests and destroy the 90%+ "voting"/replicating because That's Raciss!, and the DemoAliens have a court order saying so...

This can't be said often enough to the eGOP.

It may or may not be the reality behind closed doors, but out in the public perception, the eGOP only seems to have a defend and fall back strategy.

Their offense is to not give too much away while trying to look good for the One Stream Media's propaganda feed and, of course, to not be called racist.
