Or they are totally incompetent and refuse to take political advantage of a softball. Did I really have to spell that one out for you???

Why do you think they are so silent about it? I know, I know. Terrified of how they may be portrayed in the media. Could ruin their chances of being voted most pliable.

Pop quiz; What category storm was Sandy? 1? 2? 3? 4? 5? Again, where is the GOP leadership? I know, I know. Bowing to the media so they can get...uh...well...uhm...so the media will be nice to them...and...uh??? As far as I am concerned Christie just disqualified himself from the presidential sweepstakes and anyone who supports him simply wants more of what we have.

| DHS, TSA, not one but two resurrections of Vietnam, Med Part D, The Patriot Act, the auto bailout, TARP. Yeah, those are pretty much on the GOP. You seem to somehow want that slate wiped clean when it comes to Obama doing the same stuff. Well, when one group of pigs stops eating long enough to disparage another group of pigs, I'm sorry, a biased media doesn't have much heavy lifting to do to 'get' the people to not pay much attention to the first group of pigs.

Psy: Let’s start a dialog on how we can get people off welfare. I believe we ought to cut spending on entitlements; especially welfare. We ought to create a system that focuses on educating our kids and getting parents involved in that process. Press: So, you want to take money out of the pockets of the poor. You want to starve poor children. And most people on welfare are black. So you really just hate black people. Psy: I’m trying to do what is in the best intere… Press: No, what I heard was you want to starve black people. You hate black people. Psy: How is wanting them to get edu…. Press: Racism is a blight on this country and you people on the right haven’t learned a thing about history. Psy: So you’re not interested in talking about how we fix… Press: How can we fix anything with close-minded bigots such as yourself? Psy: I’m not a racist. I care… Press: If you cared you wouldn’t be trying to take food out of the mouths of our poor. Your kind of hate isn’t welcome here. See how it goes? I started off with trying to get my ideas out there and got put in a corner by having to defend myself as not being a racist. This is the tactic the left uses. And the GOP has been placed in a corner spending all its time defending themselves when they need to be getting a message out there. Look at what they did to Sarah Palin. A very viable candidate, and yet she was attacked on the most juvenile of things, never having the chance to defend her conservative ideals. I mean the focus became her inability to cite what newspaper she reads and a spoof on her on SNL. And this is the extent of what attracted voters attention. No one out there was saying “I want to hear what Sarah is about”. They were saying “She a dumb snarky bimbo that can see Russia from her backyard.” And do we need to get into what the media did to George Allen and his Macaca comment? Conservatives just aren’t going to get a fair shake from the MSM.

The rhetoric being slung around isn't even discussing those things. MSNBC spends 80% of their time calling the GOP a bunch of racists; not because they created the DHS, TSA, Med D, or The Patriot Act. The GOP are racist because they simply disagree with Obama (who is now in complete support of all those programs), and they want to starve the poor and elderly.

YOU don't like it. Time after time after time. Therefore, I, clearly, don't have all the answers. The 'answers' would be ones folks find acceptable. So, we do more of the same and expect different results. What you want to hear is the same garbage most of us want to hear; "It's not OUR fault! We meant well! It's the media! It's the D's! It's all the things we can't control therefore it's not our fault! The things we CAN control, well, there are good reasons we didn't do so good!" I have the answers. Beat them. Beat them on principle. On being right. That is not acceptable and I am coming to understand, if not accept, that.

But, few want to hear that even on here, a supposed conservative forum. Most on here want to blame the media and the Dems for beating our soul-ess, passionless functionaries who have no stomach for the fight let alone the will to win. But, hey, that CAN'T be our fault for whom we choose to represent us! That damn weather is COLD!!!

Why aren’t you running? Since everyone else out there has no soul. Get in front of those cameras and get your message out there. I’m frustrated on two fronts: 1) you’re right that many of our politicians have no fight in them and 2) you keep claiming you have the answers yet limit them to this forum. You need to get yourself out there. NOW! I can’t say it enough, we can only vote for who is willing to run. You can’t force someone out there; someone like you. People like me are dying for someone with real conservative values and with the guts to take on the liberal media and attack machine. And someone with charisma and passion. And that someone is you Larry.
