No need to panic or is there? I guess that sort of depends where you are at on the ride. This is like the first drop on the roller coaster its dark and you’re not even wearing a seat belt. Eventually you know the ride will stop; at some undeterminable point, getting there in one piece just became a critical unknown.
When Democrats faced this reality in 2004, you know the Bush "mandate". Which really wasn't a mandate rather more of a snooze button response, as we watched our party crumble on principle? We had too many critical players from the yellow center line of the moderate ranks. Every thing the Liberals have done to the Democrat Party since 1992 has been whitewashed by the sacrificial scandals of a select few. This total manipulation is only made possible by the divisions in our own party.
The tact for mending these divisions is to first define what topics exist and acknowledge common interests on these issues. We must in the interest of our country come together as Republicans to the common points and debate amongst ourselves these areas of disagreement. Honest debate at the least creates respectful dissent, but also allows for a more complete disclosure of the facts. To do this we must encourage complete participation without exception. If we continue to allow selective political assassinations within our own ranks we will never achieve our full potential.
As we see and hear everyday Democrat after Democrat is given a pass by the media on issues they would see one us eliminated over. Our media reminds me of a Verizon network commercial, we just follow the "drive-bys" where they lead us. We examine there interests verses the facts and report the obvious and deliberate inaccuracies of their positions. We hypocritically call for open debate on issues we have no intention of compromising on. The all or nothing campaign of the "Reaganite" misses his greatest asset. His oratorical ability to build his case on a palatable united foundation created his popular public support even amongst democrats. He didn't cut them down or call them names; he let their own faults dictate their fate.
Instead of arguing with the under the influence of one Barack Huesien Mohamed Obama Jr. crowd let us instead resolve ourselves to repair our own crowd. We must replant the seeds of Conservatism but to do so we need an enriched environment for seed growth. Not all seeds will grow the same but we must learn to be able to separate each Conservative growth from the weeds of Liberalism. The weeds of Liberalism exist only to reproduce and destroy any other form of growth even their own when necessary.
We can talk about Blago, Clintons, Jackson & son, Kennedy, or Soros but that tit for tat isn't going to advance our cause. The main players are not the ones they have thrown to the overboard. They have jumped the shark so many times and yet we keep watching them do it. The whack-a-mole conclusion can be seen at any Chucky Cheese, they just keep popping out of there holes. But we keep smacking back as if we can accomplish great things like spending $5 on a plastic spider ring. That sounds like government spending to me!!!
The GOP needs to attack the hive which is at the core of their indecency and common interest.
