First of
all, forget about Obama. He here for
another four years, there’s not a damn thing we can do about it and it’s time
to start looking and planning ahead on a macro scale.
Here’s how we
begin.
We hire Newt
Gingrich as head of the RNC AND make him THE
spokesman for everything Republican.
Why? Because the man is
brilliant, eloquent, and he knows who the enemy is and he’s not afraid to
attack that enemy full force. Newt can
say things in the public realm that our ELECTED people cannot, because they
would suffer political consequences.
Newt, on the other hand, has absolutely nothing to ‘lose’.
The ‘enemy’
of this country is not Barack Obama. It’s
not the left-wing nuts in Obama’s administration or in Congress. It’s not even the idiots who voted for
him. The enemy of this country and of the
way of life envisioned by our founding fathers is the leftist media.
Everyone on ‘my
side’ knows that the media has its agenda and we all know the media didn’t vet
Obama in 2008 and they covered for all his mistakes, including totally ignoring
the debacle that was Benghazi, during this past election. I lay this nation’s ignorant electorate at
the feet of the media, and it’s time to turn the sunshine on THEM and call a
spade a spade.
During the
debates, Newt did this with a smile - repeatedly. He made THE MEDIA the villain by challenging
their questions, and hence their position on issue after issue. I say we need to give this man a pulpit –
make him the party spokesman – and send him out on a regular basis to hold
press conferences and explain what is happening in the House of
Representatives. Tell the public what
our side is trying to accomplish and what the OTHER side is trying to do, as
well. We need someone to go on the
Sunday shows in the off-season and make CONSERVATIVE news. (As much of a
political junkie as I am, and I think I am fairly knowledgeable about what’s
happened the last four years, it wasn’t until this week that I heard Obama had
not met face to face with the majority leadership in the House or the minority
leadership in the Senate since last summer. THAT IS NEWS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN
REPORTED! We need someone out there
SAYING THIS and forcing the media to cover it.)
The
Conservatives do NOT have an ideology problem.
We have a PR problem! Elected
officials are too busy covering their ass and trying not to offend. I say we NEED someone to offend! We need someone who believes in our ideology
to get out there, talk about it, DEFEND IT, and force the press to cover
it. I think Newt would be a great ‘talking
head’ to start spreading OUR word for a change.
I know we will never ‘take back’ the media (because we never HAD them)
but we can neutralize them by exposing their bias and forcing them to COVER
this exposure.
I agree. And Newt should have gotten the nomination.
ReplyDeleteMy wife was complaining that Romney (her guy during the primaries) didn't come out forceful enough. My response, I warned you he wouldn't, and that only Gingrich would have.
