Very well said. Bravo.
Just another example of Republicans not "selling" their message well enough. This is what the Republican Philosophy actually IS. Yet, if you heard this from our President, and those running for office right now. The difference between Republicans and Democrats would be so obvious. AND.. I bet you couldn't WAIT to get to the polls!!! Instead, we sit back and listen to the news on TV and the Dem pundits rambling on and on about their fantasies; and take them at their word, as if it were reality--throw up our hands and say...it's over, we shouldn't even try. We've lost.
NO...We need to go on the offense, everyone. We need to be proud of what our Party Platform/Philosophy is.
Analogy: Being a good parent doesn't make you popular, but it's the right thing to be. If we looked at the World's problems and how America, under the Republicans, want to handle it....you can easily see the correlation between America as the Nanny, and the terrorists as the bratty children. Americans need only to watch an episode of Nanny 911 to realize what needs to be done in this World.
Okay...that's the end of my rant ;-)
