Should the club have had the meeting at a shooting range and invited a liberal newspaper...probably not. Do dems do far worse things (mmm, mmm, mmm) and assume that they will blow over instead of eating their own? Hell yeah!
Republicans simply adopt the outrage of the left over stupid things that will run out of steam and end the career of a decent man who could elevate conservatives in an otherwise hostile environment (Broward Co FL).
We need to ramp it up on liberals and force them into the same same no win situations and at the same time allow our guys a little room on errors to see if they blow over or not. Allowing the left to determine our fate and dominate the conversation can no longer be an option. A favorite teacher of mine once told me that no matter what you did, someone else with do something equally bad or worse within a week...wait it out.
I live about 30 feet outside Wasserman-Schultz’s district and have lived here for 2 years - utterly mystified as to why she is in office. She does a reasonable jib of reading the DNC scripts - but is not particularly quick on her feet.
Geez, if this gets eveyone’s panties in a knot, they better not attend the range where my pals and I shoot. LOL!!
I’m glad he’s quitting, there is no room for PC defeatists in the coming elections in 2010 and 2012.
If he would quit over this he would cave to any liberal compromise.
That is the most amazing thing. Republicans run when no one is chasing them.
He doesn’t know who did it, yet he’d rather resign than get to the bottom of it or maybe just apologize and move on.
How can we possibly hold anything when we can’t even govern over small stuff.
Liberals feed on outrage - if nothing’s handy, they have to find something out of the blue to be outraged over.
Ed needs to grow a pair.
He seems way too in touch with his inner unicorn.
Anyway (and seriously now) sorry this happened.
Starting with getting rid of the hyphenated names and actually making a decision as to who they really are.
If I’m correct, Wasserman-Schultz is a highly partisan dem who has made more than her share of nasty personal attacks on republicans/conservatives. I doubt that she would have apologized had she been the perpetrator here - but who knows. In any case, this wasn’t a great move, and inviting the liberal press to a gun club probably wasn’t a great move either. But I’m tired of republicans apologizing and beating themselves up for breathing when the left would never think of doing such a thing. Look at Wasserman’s colleague Grayson. He won’t apologize for any of the vile things he says about republicans and his boss Nancy won’t ask him to. Why the double standard? We have bigger and more important things to worry about right now. I hope this can be the last time we read a story like this.
The above said, the incident is no real threat
What a bunch of pansies. No wonder Republicans cannot make any headway in Broward, Palm Beach or Monroe...and VERY LITTLE headway in any non-Cuban section of Miami-Dade.
Ed needn’t resign. Find some other reason for DWS to be on the target: “Dumb White Socialists”, for instance.
And for the Republicans to be hanging out with anyone from the SHAM-SENTINEL...utter stupidity.
In short, she's a professional baby-killer in her off-duty time, and anti-freedom when she's in Congress.
Her initials on a target is not a problem ~ no real Republican would be bothered.
Fur Shur I wouldn't allow young children near her,
Why would he resign? Republicans need to stop apologizing and instead say, having a bit of fun, so what?
Geez! Can’t anyone have any fun anymore? I made a Mii of my boss on the Wii so that I could “beat up on her” on the boxing game when she’d given me a particularly hard time! Its just a way to blow off steam! No apology should have been necessary. He should have responded with the usual liberal comback...”I’m sure the American people have more important things on their mind”.
Why all the fuss? I keep telling y’all and y’all don’t listen. This PC crap is exactly that. CRAP. It should be flushed into the sewer with the other pond scum and sewer [Democ]Rats.
So the heck what. FALSE GUILT. Just because you have felt like murdering someone doesn’t mean you’re guilty if a third party murders him/her. Just because you’ve wished a DemoncRat dead, hung, shot, or mutilated doesn’t mean that if it happens you bear any guilt for the crime.
Republicans do need to grow a pair. Starting with Mikey Steele. He’s a NICE GUY according to my parents who know him. BUT he isn’t forceful enough to lead a choir.
Do NOT Apologize for someone else. Do NOT Explain for someone else. If you didn’t have anything to do with it, say so and let it drop.
No wonder the CONSERVATIVES have given up on the GOP.
Lighten Up. Make NON PC Jokes and LAUGH at them. It won’t kill you and it is good for your sanity.
So a Pole, a Pope, and an Actor walk into a bar and the bartender says what will you have? Christian Brothers, what else, says Pope John Paul II. You have to be very deep to understand that . . . or slightly demented.
So what? He should have put her picture up.
Blown out of all proportion.
Silly.
Th apology only made it worse.
In this case it IS a sign of weakness.
Wow.Dumb to do it in the first place and chickenshit to resign over it.
