Republicans a Bunch
of Wimps
Fridays with Erick Erickson
Forget the oft used analogies of the “Stupid Party” and “Evil
Party.” While the Republicans may still be stupid and the
Democrats evil, it is increasingly clear that the Republicans are a
bunch of wimps.
In the past week, Democrats have said the Republicans want women to die
and old people to starve. They’ve accused the GOP of hurting
kids. Barack Obama himself has entered the fray. He says
the GOP would turn the nation into a third world state. He says
the Republicans want to hurt the elderly with their Medicare
reforms. Nevermind that he is the champion of death panels.
All the while, the Republicans keep talking about wanting to reach
across the aisle. They are perfectly willing to go along with the
Democrats in raising the debt ceiling. They are perfectly willing
to help the Democrats cut only $353 billion from this year’s
deficit. They are perfectly willing to let Obama keep lobbing
bombs at Tripoli for no apparent reason.
The Republicans have gotten it in their head that if they just play
nice and look leaderly, the nation will embrace them. Instead,
the GOP is getting defined by the Democrats. They are getting
pinned down by a media willing to push the Democrat talking points and
their polling is correspondingly going down hill.
John Boehner and Mitch McConnell don’t seem to understand that we need
fighters not lovers right now. The Republican Party has turned
into the Party of Wimps. If they don’t start throwing punches
soon, they’ll be undone and so will the nation.
