“Who ended up being painted as the “bad guys”?”
***********************************************
[rhetorical answer to your rhetorical question]
The Left controls the media.
The media controls the “paint brush and palette”.
Conservatives will ALWAYS end up being painted as the bad guys, no matter what we do.
Therefore, since we will be labeled (libeled?) the bad guys anyway, DO THE RIGHT THING!
The old school-yard rhyme said, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”
If we (and the conservative members of Congress) are such wimps that we cower at the threat of mere words, what will we do when they bring out the “sticks and stones”?
My point was that the Repubs need to do something that is effective, with teeth in it.
No, I don’t have any idea what.
They need to - but won’t - do something that will wound him politically or slow him down.
