See the update… I can’t believe this protest wasn’t reported by the MSM. I figured they’d downplay it, but to omit it entirely is pretty shocking.

Us.

So.. your recommendation to counter the “lie, repeated often enough..” ??

The GOP was attempting to recruit and failing miserably. What do you make of that?

One is either part of the problem or is part of the solution…if I recall this old 1960’s tidbit.

The GOP is part of the problem. Too busy backbiting, too busy trying to stake out territory for individuals, and not very much effort given to finding common ground…other than Obama is a train wreck.

That is no way to gain a majority.

Letters and emails and any other effective means to communicate with the “leadership” on the Right…even stopping in to their local offices when they are in town. But, not just complaining nor just pointing out what the other side is doing or not doing. Instead we should be providing alternatives, offering solutions, making suggestions to improve the movement on the Right….you write one, then get four or five of your friends or relatives to write one, or the same…and get the word out, to the top.

Make them pay attention. If an elected member of Congress gets one or two letters…pretty much will ignore them. Get a few dozen and they might tend to see a problem that needs fixin’…and with a few solutions offered, perhaps they can staff it out, get it on the floor or in the well. A few hundred, or more…then they know that something is amiss…build on it.

Until that happens, from us, the talking heads and pundits will call the shots by the mere fact of their visibility, even though they are all pretty much sequestered inside the Beltway and out of touch with the rest of the country.

Part of the problem or part of the solution?

Each of us must ask and answer that one for ourselves before we can ask it of the “party” or of our “leadership.”

The GOP helped get us here.
