As long as the likes of Romney qualifies as "Republican" and is accepted as Republican by the likes of Levin and Rush, I see that sincerity has some other definition than the one I put to it!

It's HARD to go against the voice of the Powers That Be; but it can be done.

It's tricky to tiptoe through the mine field, but you can do it.

No its not. At all.

Power is taken and wielded. It does not ask permission or negotiate. It does not seek consensus. To buck the powers that be, you simply do it. Not in a random haphazard manner, but with intent, forethought and a plan.

Shrinking violets do not win followers, lead armies or rule nations.

Power also scales. Not everything has to be a WW2 level undertaking but the same thing applies.
