Republicans Versus Democrats
By: David Hallstrom
In the war, yes I said war, between the Republicans and the Democrats, the Republicans are losing.
The Democrats think of only one thing. They don’t care about America, they don’t care about what is right, they only care about defeating the Republicans.
Many Republicans, who used to care about America and what is right, now care about only one thing. Not losing to the Democrats.
As far as I can tell, there are very few real Republican politicians left. One of those true Republican politicians is President Bush ( I don’t count Secretary Rice and Secretary Rumsfeld as politicians because at this time they are appointees.). President Bush, however, has several very large problems. He is too honest, he cares too much about the American people, he has moral values and he feels that doing the right thing is more important than being popular. These problems used to be considered assets in a President. Now they are considered liabilities.
The Democrats who have united, behind the far left, union leaders and the ‘Hollywood Elite’, have spent the last five plus years turning those assets into liabilities. The mouthpieces for the Democrats have spent that time spewing half truths, mistruths and out and out lies to the American people about President Bush and the Republican Party.
President Bush has been so busy trying to do the right things for America that he has not taken the time to fight back. Additionally, due to his values he has refused to play the dishonest games that the far left has been playing. Due to the foregoing his poll numbers have sunk very low.
Many Republicans, especially conservatives, who have apparently forgotten the old saying “United we stand, divided we fall”, have become very worried about poll numbers and about their own personal agendas, and are therefore not only abandoning the President, they are speaking out against him. They don’t appear to realize that by doing so they are ensuring the takeover of our government by the far left Democrats. The Republicans, especially the far right conservative Republicans are becoming just as bad as the far left liberal Democrats. They may have different agendas but they are both trying to reach them the same way.
The far right can not, however, beat the far left because the far right are not as good at lying and distorting the truth. The far right still have an underpinning of certain moral values and that puts them at a disadvantage.
Many Republicans have forgotten that they came to power because the majority of Americans longed for the return of the values that the Republican Party stood for.
I understand that not all Republicans agree with everything that President Bush is trying to do, heck, I disagree with President Bush on numerous subjects. However, if they don’t get unified behind him they will find themselves out of office and their party out of power, and that would be a shame. The Democrats have moved so far to the left that if they take over, I really fear for the future of America. President Bush may lean slightly to the right but he is basically a moderate and he cares about the American people, sometimes, it seems, more than he cares for himself.
