I am an avid Fox News watcher; I get the hives whenever the TV is turned to CNN. This is due to the terrible coverage CNN and other MSM outlets have given to Israel over the years. Now, of course it is compounded by the unmitigated love-fest given to our new president. Tonight it was sickening to watch the annual National Press Club Dinner. The mutual pandering by both Obama and the press was revolting. Don't get me started on Wanda Sykes. It was a disgrace.
If it weren't for the blogosphere, it would be very difficult to find any independent news reports.
Lately, there have been a proliferation of articles and punditry about the fate and future of the Republican Party. Lots of Democrats giving us their "advice". We don't need their advice. Our party leaders tried to have a normal working lunch in public to prove a point of some sort. At least they didn't put Grey Poupon on their burgers. They are so out of touch, in a dreamland. Lots of back and forth about whether the GOP is going to succeed or fade away as the Whigs did. Much debate about the sanctity of life and sanctity of marriage, but nothing about issues that Americans worry about every day: national security, taxes,jobs, healthcare,the safety of their food, and immigration. I am personally pro-life and believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, but should these issues be the hallmarks of the GOP? Is this what will attract more people to our party? Will this be what puts the next Republican president in the White House?
I believe these two issues are important, but that Americans want more than that. Our party is failing to offer more. Many say McCain lost because of Sarah Palin. I don't think she was the reason, she was a great addition to the ticket but the GOP bailed on her. Much as I have supported him in the past, I believe he was ultimately a tired, weak candidate that did not have the fire in his belly to fight the Democrats. I still find it unbelievable that someone with no experience won the election. I want a Republican candidate that will be a fiscal conservative, someone who values individual freedoms, someone who wants America to be the best, someone who will keep us safe. I want someone who believes in business, capitalism, free enterprise, and that our country is the leader of the free world. I want someone who will stand up to dictators and protect us from islamic fascists, not bow to them. We do not have that person leading our country now. Can the GOP deliver? I hope so.
