Most conservatives (Hannity, all of us, etc.) know that to beat the rats and dump Reid, devise a N-point plan that most sides of the GOP believe in, nationalize the election, like Contract with America, defend the onslaught of media detractors. Your base voters would come out in droves.
But committing to a major issues agenda would cause media to focus on it - which the GOP fears; they are incapable of standing up to that. More important, it would shut out donors hoping to cash in on the opposite $ide of that agenda. So losing is ok to the GOP.
That is the Achilles Heal of the GOP. They are unwilling to fight over the big issues. All that McConnell knows how to do is negotiate the Democrat position to a lesser extent.
What many decry as being RINO is simply being afraid to fight for opposing opinions for fear of what the MSM might say.
We need to purge the battered wives from the party and put new blood in place who aren't afraid of their shadows, and who won't cower from their own power.
