The Left's venom started immediately after Bush beat Gore and did not let up once in 8 long, long years. We have been beaten down, mocked, laughed at, scorned, ridiculed on a daily basis and now were expected to just lay down and let the Looney Left put any old radical they want on the Supreme Court?
We need to get our moxie up. We need to get our fighting spirit up. We need to let the Looney Left know that the Conservative Movement of President Reagan is not dead.

I hear you, but I disagree. SOMEONE must play the role of the grownup. Both Democrats and Republicans have been acting childlike - my way! My special interest! Me being in the majority, etc.
I vaguely remember when both parties agreed that politics stops at the waters edge. A Republican, Arthur Vandenberg, said this during a Democratic Administration – Harry Truman’s.
Just as Senator Vanderburgh saw the need for a united policy, it is time again for the Republican Party to lead us back to sanity.
We need to work at the local and state level to elect truly conservative Republicans. At the same time, we need to distance ourselves from the Rush Limbaughs of this world. I was truly offended when my party invited Limbaugh to give a keynote address. As a regular contributor to the RNC, I have stopped all contributions and asked that I be taken off their mailing lists. The only exception if Marco Rubio, who has been endorsed by Jeb Bush in his caducity for the US Senate.
For all of you – both liberal and conservative – we need to learn to work together for the future of our country. I do not want us to wind up as another ‘banana republic’ where the first task of the new regime to to kill the members of the old regime whether physically or through the media.
