Cowardly Republican
I’ve been reading about some polls in which some so-called Tea Party candidates beat out Republicans candidates. Although this may be cause for great excitement within the Tea Party movement, it would be a serious mistake to think a TP candidate can win general elections.
As much as I’m dissatisfied with the ineffectiveness and the lack of guts demonstrated by the current GOP roster, running out of the party and setting up a new political shop is extremely unwise and Ronald Reagan said as much over 30 years ago when he said,
“ What is needed is a new revitalized Republican Party.”
Therefore, I urge all TP members to set your sights on taking over the GOP. Keep the pressure on and expand the movement.
Currently, the Republicans in Washington are a bunch of lackluster, politically correct, do-nothings. Although they go through the motions, they are too focus-group conscious to stick their necks out and demonstrate real political courage.
For example, when Harry Reid predictably and shamelessly pulled the Race Card on the senate floor to sell ObamaCare, all the Republicans did was to robotically feign outrage at Reid’s comments. But no Republican, to my knowledge, bothered to categorically refute Reid’s accusation that Republicans were responsible for prolonging slavery and stopping the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
If the Republicans in Washington are so bound up by PC demons, or they lack the will and the nerve to defend themselves in the face of outright falsehoods when the actual facts are on their side, then they do themselves and the citizens they represent a great disservice and its high time for them to be replaced by fighters like those in the TP movement who are not afraid to fight the good fight!
Tea Party members, go clean the house that’s already built.
Don’t build a new one!
