The big question is can this fight be fought in the midst of a presidential campaign? Could it backfire and be used against our candidate?
Since O does not have a positive economic record on which to run, his tactic appears to be one of distraction from issues of importance to the american people. So far, with mainstream media assistance, he has diverted public attention to the "Republican war on women" by means of free contraception, marriage via his announced support of same sex marriage while dredging up an incident with Romney from 49 years ago! - and we are only in the month of May. This election is evolving into one of the ugliest battles we have ever witnessed.
With 24/7 news, the public now relies on sound bites to make their decisions. Few are those americans who will take the time to read and research key issues. IMHO, it is important for the Republican candidate to develop a list of key issues that can be addressed in short, simple statements that will garner and hold public attention. He will need to stay on topic and not allow himself to be pulled into the deceitful web of discord carefully calculated to distract. We have just experienced 4 years of growing socialism under Obama and know, from his open mic comment to Russian president Dmitri Medvedev, that he plans on winning and how Russia will benefit under a 2nd term.
It will take a concerted effort on behalf of the few (like us) to protect our nation or risk facing the same future as Greece and now, God help us all, France. Can Obama's progressivist agenda be halted? Yes! Seven years after being voted into power, Spain's Socialist Party, was voted out last year. I credit Pope Benedict XVI's visit to Spain last summer as key to rallying the catholics and opening the eyes of others who had been lulled into a false sense of security. The pope will not be visiting the US this year, so we must rise to the challenge of defeating O and his socialist policies.
I agree with your points completely.
Yes, we must rise to the challenge of defeating the socialist. I’m happy to finally see a leader like Cardinal Dolan that will lead the charge.
