The GOP should just SHUT UP......and let this thing take its own course.

"The GOP should just SHUT UP......and let this thing take its own course."

Maybe the GOP should, but every pubbie in every race ought to ask their opponent to take a stand on it.

Claire McCaskill, do you think that John Kerry should apologize to our military? Even if it was a "botched joke", doesn't he owe them an apology?

The GOP should just SHUT UP......and let this thing take its own course.

The ONLY REASON the GOP is IN any kind of mess is that they ALWAYS let these things "take their own course". The FOLEY thing "took its own course". The VALERIE PLAME kerfuffel "took its own course". ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION "took its own course". STEM CELL RESEARCH "took its own course".

Letting this "take its own course" means allowing JAMES CARVILLE and HOWARD DEAN to set the agenda. NUH UH. Not this time. Not this issue. The dems are DEAD on this issue, if the Republicans give it even a little effort. They're holding a sharp stake right over Vlad The Impaler's heart in one hand and an 8 pound sledgehammer in the other. There's not ONE GOOD REASON to refrain from taking a swing.

It may take the GOP and ourselves to keep this thing alive. I do not believe that the MSM will keep the story going. Rush and the like will only be preaching to the choir.

I agree. Enough has been said now. Move on.
Remind people why to vote for Republicans.
Kerry just reminded them what liberalism/democrats are all about.

I would normally tend to agree, but the Dems were trying very hard to say nothing in hopes this would just fade away. If the GOP forces them to address the issue, that's two or three more news cycles that the Dems are playing defense over Flipper's comments - and there are only six news cycles left until the election.
