The more I see of the Republican Party’s responses to the Obama putsch, the less faith I have that they will get their act together before the mid-term elections.
Even the fair-haired youngsters like Governors Jindal and Crist, are about as thrilling as a case of dyspepsia. Their handlers are touting them as fresh faces from the conservative wing of the party, but their performance shows little more than conservative rhetoric and tepid accomplishments. Think John McCain without the Geritol.
The party need eagles and all they can seem to find is parrots. They need party leadership with the passion of B-1 Bob Dornan, but they elect caricatures of Don Knots. They need a General Patton and they offer Gomer Pyle. Instead of mimicking Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson, they act as if they were tutored by the horse whisperer. Is there no one in the party that can beat Chuck Schumer in a footrace to a TV camera? Isn’t there anyone in the Republican Party with even a spark of fire in his or her belly?
Where are the statesmen with the daring to spit in the eye of the socialist hordes that are trying to ravage our Constitution? Where are the leaders who can explain to the base that there is more to running a country than mouthing platitudes and taking the “right” stand on abortion? Who will stand up and convince the party that to win, they need to put righteousness in the platform, but leave God in church? Fundamental Christianity in your heart and in your deeds is admirable, but on your sleeve and from the podium, it’s mostly a pain in the ass to Jews, Mormons, Catholics, Agnostics, Pagans and even Atheists, many of whom share the conservative values of the born-again, but refuse to put up with proselytizing.
Who in the Republican Party will lead by example, instead of political expediency? As Glenn Beck pleads..."Say what you mean and mean what you say.”
Elected politicians of the GOP…it’s time to lead, follow, or get out of the way!
