Well I wholeheartedly agree, but let's not forget the fact the Republicans have TWO enemies to fight back against: The Democrats and the Drve By Media. In that regard, if the DBM decided simply to not air Republican grievences or statements it would appear that the Republicans aren't fighting back.
That is in fact happening.
We members of the New Media, of which Free Republic is part, need to hold bothe the democrats and DBM accountable.
The DBM says there is no bias. OK. Then right now is a good time to then ask them, if so, are they going to report at length about the current Democrat Minorty Leader of the Senate Harry Reid's direct ethics violations (after all, he even ADMITTED he was wrong by offering to pay a fine!) as much as they have about Mark Foley, who resigned more than two weeks ago?
Senate Minority Leader, not House Speaker. And Nancy Pelosi is the Minority Leader of the House, not the Speaker. There's only one speaker, Denny Hastert. He got the job becuase a majority of the House voted for him (meaning all Republicans).
The whole country should have shuddered in fear, should have been awakened to the real world.
During the Clinton years the republicans showed what they are made of, and the whole lot of them should have been replaced with men and women of integrity and backbone.
The true traitors are the republicans who give it away, fearful of defeat, their personal advancement their highest cause.
The demorats are slime but they are true to their nature. They are mud dwellers who are proud to have Barney Frank, Ted Kennedy and the Clintons at the head of their parade.
The democrats need a bath. The republicans need a spine; both the voted in and those who do the voting.
Or, maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe all of us are mud dwellers. Maybe there are some who have higher aspirations but basically still live in the muck, building little mud castles of virtue and honor and nobility but unevolved enough to put into practice what they hear in their hearts.
It has been said that you shall know them by their fruits, and we do, but we are lacking in the faith and courage to act on what we know.
Rush had a nice piece yesterday on trusting yourself to be and do who you are instead of living under the weight of others' opinions.
This is the greatest sin of the republican/conservatives; trying to appear nice rather than striving to be good.
