Are you that naive, or are you playing dumb?
Mr. Tri-partisanship has decided to embrace Global warming, Hillary care and bailouts to name three. He’s being wrung over coals because he’s echoing Democrat policies and Democrat talking points. I don’t care if Reagan rose from the dead. If he did the same I’d slam him down as well.
This obsession with defending people over policies has really got to end. I don’t care if any one of these people were or are your hero’s. I used to like G.W.B. I used to defend him or at least look the other way until he just pushed once too far and that was it. That was my lesson learned. No more. I like Sarah, but if she jumps off the cliff I’ll dump her butt too. Same goes for Jindal, Sanford or anyone else. No more free rides for faces. I expect conservative principles advanced or I won’t give you the time of day.
Newt’s turned, and deserve no respect for having done so. let the media and Liberals fawn over him. that should be enough.
I really like the way this guy said it:
“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.” - Theodore Roosevelt
I would add that whenever I read that quote I fully understand that the phrase "stand by the country" is synonymous with "stand by the Constitution".
“This obsession with defending people over policies has really got to end”
Right on - you can see how much it worked for us during this election
