| halogamer1989 said: What do you think about the following piece I wrote? My Viewpoints for a Successful GOP Resurgence 1. Drop abortion from platform. Although it is inherent to specify the nature of God by the Republican nature that all life is precious, use PACs as ends accomplish those controversial means. 2. Observe more on the middle class by appointing more “everyday USA” candidates. Voters see eye to eye with the people who they can best relate to, VP candidate Sarah Palin is a perfect example. Stick by this. When the converse from the left occurs, as in the instance of calling the AK governor “Sarah Plain” subjectively point that hypocrisy to the Democratic platform—Why criticize the middle class when you strive your best to work for them? 3. Implement Fair Tax rhetoric. It is simple idiotic to see the laments of the average business and worker suffer from a broken tax code that is outdated and insufficient for the modern 21st century. 4. Implement a GOP “New Deal” of sorts. Know thy enemy and work from within. Use refitted factories during war. Implement a recycling program that uses the metal and steel from old cars that are ruined, specifically in the South and landfills. Do not waste what is already here and contribute to more “PAYGO” debt. 5. Eliminate all earmarks and utilize the private sector to seek out flaws in government spending proposals. 6. Seek out and destroy all wasteful military waste. Account for the “black budget” and make all secret programs known to members of the Congress and the Executive branch. Subversion of government and unknown uses of citizens money to undermine the Constitution or potential free will is not only dangerous and opposite of the Founder’s intentions but evil. |
I agree with just about all of these except number 3.
#2 is good, but you choose a really poor example...at least from my point of view.
Everything else is pretty sound and I think could benefit one or both parties.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
