Where Things Stand

Like a bad relationship gone sour the Republican Party is suffering, badly. A friend of mine was at NRCC Offices in Washington on Wednesday the day after the Mississippi Congressional race and she told me it was like a morgue in there. With 3 straight house seat losses most folks think that the GOP will lose upwards of 20 house seats this November, another devastating defeat.

The Republicans need to reevaluate themselves, bring back fiscal discipline and actually stand for something; simply voting against the Democrats solves nothing, but rather we need leadership that will truly tackle the issues that need to be addressed.

The repertoire of the GOP can be a good one, but what is it? We are not the party of Ronald Reagan anymore and anyone thinking we ever will be again is delusional. During the Republican primaries you would have thought as though Reagan was the second coming of Christ, that he would rise from the dead and save our party; not happening folks, sorry.

I honestly believe we need to get more in line with the George H. W. Bush way of leading and stop acting like tough guys pounding our chests. Cowboy diplomacy stopped being cool in 2003, let’s move on.
