Republicide:  the Party’s Suicide Pact

Have the republicans entered into a suicide pact? The party’s latest stratagem, a national “listening tour” would be laughable if it wasn’t so piteous. Republicans lost the House in 2006; followed by a disastrous campaign in 2008 that enabled Nazi collaborator, George Soros to install his Marxist marionette in the White House, and the party’s solution is to send out in the RINO’s?

Reasonable minds must surmise that the party is not being run by Michael Steele, but rather by the Democrat party. Internal sabotage is the only tenable explanation. Jeb Bush did a good job as governor of Florida. He’s a good person, as are all of the Bushes. Nonetheless, is this really the right time to have someone named Bush running around trying to sell the Republican brand? We allowed the democrats to select our last presidential candidate, RINO- in- Chief, John McCain, with disastrous results. Without the tireless efforts of John McCain, George Soros would never have been able to get McCain-Feingold passed. This abominable piece of legislation makes it possible for Soros to purchase large chunks of the United States government with impunity. So, the crafty republicans put McCain out front and center as the best possible champion of the Republican Party. Mitt Romney is out on the republicide tour as well. Mitt’s father, the late George Romney, former Michigan governor and wildly successful businessman, earned his fortune in the car business. Mitt is an economic whiz kid. He knows about all there is to know about the automobile industry. Mitt is what we call a turnaround artist; he turns tottering enterprises into lean, thriving concerns. Why are Republicans not using Mitt Romney effectively? A computer could not have designed a better spokesman on economic issues. Why is Mitt not regularly explaining to the American people why Obama’s policies are so treacherous and offering alternatives? Of course, we don’t have the votes to get any of it implemented, but he is the right person to educate Americans about what we should and could be doing to salvage the auto industry and the free market economy. We should be hearing from Mitt every time TOTUS spews more twaddle about the economy. Mitt: do the counter point!

Republicans keep allowing Democrats to define the Republican Party

Another daffy idea: how about if Republicans start talking about issues Americans actually care about? Republicans avoid health care like the plague. But the dems run on it. Again, perhaps a little education about the glorious socialized medicine programs in countries like Cuba could prove illuminating. Don’t forget the photos of patients laying in their own filth with flies buzzing all around. At the same time, the party needs to offer up a few free market solutions. May I also suggest tort reform? Yes, the trial lawyers will take up arms. So what? It’s the right thing to do. It’s also less risky than it sounds: Americans HATE lawyers. Spotlight John Edwards repeatedly. And, whatever you do, Mr. Steele, stop with the moderate centrist palaver. The middle isn’t where most people imagine it is. Is someone publishing a book about the Great Moderates in History? Rush framed it perfectly in his CPAC 2009 speech. We have strayed too far from our core principles and we rely on policy instead. Core conservative principles have never changed and they never will. Policies change all the time. It is that capriciousness that has led to distrust of politicians. The typically astute Bernie Goldberg, made cringe worthy assertions to Sean Hannity, when he insisted that Republicans need to adopt centrist “policies”. No, they don’t. What they need to do is explain to the American people what conservatism is. It’s really not that menacing or abstruse. Conservatism means honoring the US Constitution. Republicans keep allowing Democrats to define the Republican Party. Now we’re the party of “No!” Fine. Run with that. We certainly are the party of no: no fascism, no tyranny, no appeasement, no confiscatory taxation, and no trampling the Constitution. Now, someone from the party, please get out there and educate the American people as to what it is we reject and will indeed obstruct. Can politicians set their egos and ambitions aside just for awhile? Can they stop waffling around with policies they think will get them elected (recent history suggests otherwise) and focus on actual principles? The consequences of quiescence will be cataclysmic. The margin for error is slim. Can we get off of the Republicide track? We have another chance coming up in 2010; it may well be our last. Let’s hope the party won’t abdicate its responsibility in the name of going along to get along.
