Preventing The Unthinkable

Great column by Ben Shapiro about what Republicans have to get busy doing in order to prevent the unthinkable happening in 2006. Here's the last paragraph, and a good summary:

If Republicans want to win in 2006, they must emphasize this simple message: Judge the Democrats by their friends. They protect terrorists for political expediency; they protect illegal immigrants for political expediency; they protect Islamofascists in Iraq for political expediency; they protect those who do not work at the expense of those who do for political expediency; they protect radical abortion and homosexuality advocates for political expediency. Americans may be unhappy with Republicans, but Republicans must make clear that the alternative is a country run by those who consistently side with enemies of the American people.

Did you see Ted Kennedy bloviating at one of the pro-illegal immigration rallies a couple of days ago? Honestly, that man makes me ill. Talk about the poster boy for sleaze.

I agree wtih Shapiro, I think the Republicans need to stop letting the Democrats put them on the defensive. Go on the offense for once and STAY there. Whenever someone in leadership gets bold and goes on the offensive, it always seems to work. Then they fall back into the old routine of explaining away the latest Dem lies about them. We have the majority. We need to CRUSH the Democrats and get some positive things done.
