You won't find a better summation anywhere than her last sentence: If Republicans were one-tenth as rough with the congressman who wants to withdraw troops in the middle of a war as they are on a congresswoman who calls it cowardly to withdraw troops in the middle of a war, we might have a functioning Republican Party.
God how I wish this party would grow a spine.
And then, of course, there's Senator Edward Kennedy. And the folks at the Crawford Coffee Shop -- (laughter) -- would be somewhat shocked when I told them I actually like the fellow. (Laughter and applause.) He is a fabulous United States senator.-- President George Bush, Jan. 8, 2002
You are right, ProtectOurFreedom, most of us here wish the GOP "will grow a spine". The RATs fight with knives, bar stools, chains, and handguns. The GOP "fights" with one hand tied behind their back and with their head implanted up their butts.
This is a bitter pill to swallow, but let's be real--Bush and the GOP are very French-like.
Should a congressmen "get rough" his name and reputation would be so slandered by the MSM that he might not get elected dog catcher. What Ann said about not being afraid of the VC but cowering at the MSM is some food for thought.
God how I wish this party would grow a spine.
