It’s good to criticize those in the media who long ago lost sight of the word “balance” (not to mention “fairness”), and there are plenty of us on the outside pointing this out. But you, who have the mantra of “GOP leaders” — where are you? Your silence is shocking to the point of disgraceful. At best, you are inept. At worst, you are cowards, unwilling to engage your political foes.
There is no shortage of issues and opportunities available to you. You should be having a ball exposing and neutralizing the leftist press, not to mention the left-wing political opposition (or do I repeat myself?), yet you’re AWOL from the debate.
Finally, someone else is saying what I’ve been thinking for months. Are Republicans too polite or too afraid?
Despite the GOP’s silence against Democrats’ attacks on President Bush, he’s still ahead in the polls. Can you imagine what those numbers would look like if the GOP fought back and exposed liberalism for the inconsistent rubbish that it is?
