Diamonds in the rough?

Rush said: “Pressure creates diamonds”

Here’s the pressure I see, but I wonder if we’ll find diamonds?

The Republican party is dead.

If you’re a Republican politician reading this… I’m sorry. Your party is gone. It exists in name only right now.

Why is it dead?

The progressive wing of the party, headed by the Bush family, and most recently by McCain, have turned the party of Reagan into democrat light. Too many issues that the Gipper stood for have been turned on their heads by the current “leadership” of the elephant party.

A few (R)s get it… Mark Sanford explaining that there is a point where spending our childrens’ money years before they earned it is a great example.

But… the Republican party is dead.

Will it be a phoenix, and have something rise from the ashes, or will it continue as a Democrat-Lite?

That’s the question before us now.

What the Republican party needs isn’t another Reagan. What the Republican party needs is a good housecleaning.

The deadwood needs to go, and go now.

Mr. Steele needs to do one thing right now: Pull out and dust off the Reagan mission statement and platform and ask every member of congress, every governor, every elected official with an (R) next to their name, and swear that they support that platform

or get the hell out of our party.

Then, Steele needs to start publishing lists of recent votes by said legislators who voted against those principles.

Those folks need to be told: this is your last term. Help us pick your successor, or cross the aisle like Spectre. Get with the program, or get the hell out of Mr. Reagan’s party.

Mr. McCain, it’s time for YOU to make that decision. And every other “progressive republican” out there.
