Republicans have not convinced many everyday Americans of the rightness of our cause.

No. You have fought the American tooth and nail to avoid the rightness of our cause while you pursue the interests of the K-street clowns to whom you sold our country down the river.

How long does it take for people to wake up and see the republican and democrat party are one and the same? Their actions speak louder than their words.

How about getting 100% behind our President for starters? This ain’t rocket surgery even for idiot GOP politicians.

Actions speak louder than words. So don't talk, do.

Who cares what the GOP says...if a number of them are going to do the opposite of what they say when they get back to Washington?

“... ignore the liberal media, and speak directly to the American people”

As in what Trump is trying to do. Sounds GREAT, on paper, except how does the rest of the Republican Party respond when Trump does that? They immediately SIDE WITH THE MEDIA.

Good luck Lamar with that bunch, you certainly need it.

Republicans have not convinced many everyday Americans of the rightness of our cause.

No, President Trump did that. When it came to "your cause" your failure to act convinced us that you were simply feckless, do-nothing, lying-weasels.

So we need to do something different to get our message directly to the American people

Yeah, start passing the legislation that the President asked for. ( Messaging? Twitter seems to work pretty well.)

and explain how the policies we advocate will benefit them.

Ska-rew that!

Get behind the Trump Agenda and tell them: "Whatever the President wants....he will get."

That! Is your damn agenda.

Now GET TO WORK!

it’s time for Republicans to take the initiative and go on the offensive

As usual, they will talk a big game but do nothing. Its all about putting on a show (before elections) to deceive the folks back home. You are absolutely right: the Republicans have sold our country down the river while pretending to be conservatives. We are done with their lies, deceit, dishonesty and lack of principles.

repubs are traitors to their electorate. Until they do what they promised, they remain lairs and cucks.

For eight months they have done NOTHING except dodge responsibility and complain about our president. Oh, and they always recessed right on schedule. I’m sick and tired of these pukes.

They have been offending me since their egregious power grab with the patriot act. We still have no wall, Obamacare and a proposal to tax and spend a trillion dollar stimulus..
Trump is afraid of his veto pen.. or worse, he is just his what his record says he is.
Congress offends me, they have not done their job.
Where do we turn? Away from politics, To God, lest we become Europe, or even worse,have the left stage a civil war, i.e. Genocidal ethnic cleansing of Christians.
Artifa and the neo nazi groups, they both fight for less freedom. Paid protestitutes of the left.

The nation won’t be saved. It’s safe to say that the majority will be for its’ destruction soon if they aren’t already.

Lamar, you dummy, President Trump IS leading the right cause. You, on the other hand, are a waste of time.

Is this turd up for reelection? None of these observations are breaking new ground - if he doesn’t know about this now or hasn’t been acting accordingly throughout his career, he’ll never be effective from a conservative perspective.

What policies is he talking about" Who is he referring to with "our?" Republicans? I know nothing about Lamar Smith. If he is one of the usual Congressional Republicans then he is calling for Republican efforts against the President to be better known.

It is purely logical for prospering politicians who want to keep the gravy train coming to their stations.
