Fighting Back

Note to ALL Republican candidates (both currently running for President, and those who seek higher office):

I know there is an unwritten rule that says we, as Republicans must "remain above the fray", that we must "take the high road and stay out of the gutter" against our Marxist Democrat opponents.  well, with what we are witnessing in this Presidential election cycle, it is time to echo what I have been saying for awhile now:

WE MUST fight back!  Period!  Enough of this cowering in the corner when the Democrats threaten to attack!  Enough throwing our candidates overboard when the media launches FAKE attacks against that candidate.  If the Democrats want to play dirty to win, then we need to do the same.  WE don't need to sink into gutter politics per se, but we do need to fight like hell to protect ourselves.

For instance, in the fight to nominate Justice Sotomayor, Republicans bent over backwards to accommodate the Justice "because she was Hispanic and a woman".  Republicans didn't want to "offend" anyone.  Again, we proved to be weak, and we nominated a woman who, by all accounts, did NOT deserve to be on the Court.  Yet, Conservatives remained silent.  Now, the Democrats on the other hand, tore down Robert Bork and again tried to do the same to Clarence Thomas.  They were successful once, but failed the other time.  Again, silence from many Republicans.

Republicans now control the US House of Representatives after the people put us into power and gave us a mandate to govern.  Yet, what have we accomplished?  NOTHING!  Oh sure, we have threatened to impeach Eric Holder over Fast and Furious, but nothing has come of this investigation yet.  In fact, nothing has really been said about this scandal outside of a few Conservative Congressman.  Too, in the budget fight, the Democrats got the Republicans to agree to levy taxes on the rich in exchange for a payroll tax cut.  They screamed louder, and we caved....AGAIN.

Then, we have the case of Herman Cain, an outsider with a tremendous story and a tremendous background.  He was tarnished, WITHOUT proof by the media establishment, and many REPUBLICANS jumped ship and piled on Mr. Cain.  Instead of fighting for our candidate, the Party and many Republican voters once again cowered silently in the background.  Now, Mr. Cain has dropped out of the race.

Well, I for one am sick and tired of "playing nice" with the media and the Democrats.  I am even more tired of being told by our "intellectuals" (I use that term loosely) that we must "be above the fray".  No wonder Republicans keep losing elections.  Well, I DIDN'T GET THE MEMO!!  Enough is enough.  If the Republican establishment is going to sit idly by while the Democrats fight dirty, then so be it.  I, on the other hand, will engage on every front possible.  Note to those who want us to remain civil: SHUT UP ALREADY!
