Bear down and fight hard politically. Make the case, do the legwork, and help us defeat him in 2010 and 2012.

The much disparaged Ann Coulter gets so many things exactly right, as when she remarked that republicans always prefer to surrender from a position of strength. We enjoy this current “position of strength” largely because the libs are defeating themselves more than the GOP is taking ‘em behind the woodshed.

It’s beginning to look like the dems won’t have veto-proof majorities in both Houses of Congress (thanks in part to dem pols who have better sense than to alienate key groups in their base, eg, the elderly, independents, etc) if Obama has as many accomplishments in 2010 as he has had this year. (Siphoning off taxpayer dollars to ACORN doesn’t count as an “accomplishment,” but a cynical belief that the American people are unwilling or unable to follow the news and know when “foxes” – hyper-partisan criminal organizations violating the RICO Act – are assigned to guard the “chicken coop” – our treasury and what taxpayer dollars that don’t get lost to sticky fingers that always seem to be in close proximity to large sums of money, much like the UN policy.)

I recall how Pat Toomey, formerly with the conservative, taxpayer-friendly Club for Growth, was blown off by Bush for incumbent Arlen Specter (must’a seemed like a good idea at the time, but…), much like FL’s Rubio is being promoted over spineless Gov Charlie Crist. I’m still looking for Rubio to pull it off, but the GOP “mainstream” leadership (an oxymoron: barely republican, often referenced as “moderates,” or RINOs to be more precise) annoys me to no end.

I had no problems with Michael Steele as head of the RNC, but then I found out that the burner was hot, so protective gloves are required to deal with this remarkably so-so “leader.” How does he disappoint? Let me count the ways…

I just hope that the GOP will grasp reality (where the DNC deliberately resists the time-tested notion that lower taxes mean higher tax revenues, eg, Bush’s 2003 tax cuts for the wealthy, which followed his earlier tax cuts on the middle-class, was a historical success) and “find themselves,” coming up with a group identity a bit closer to the Founding Fathers instead of “middle of the road” (giving those in both lanes a better chance of knocking them off). If people really want to vote for dems, why go with faux dem republican candidates?

We have the chance to cut Obama off at the knees in 2010 if we can take enough seats in both houses to take Obama’s veto-proof majority away. I wonder what the RNC will do to try to avoid success here. My greatest fear is that they will “think” of something…and it will work better than intended.
