Pirate's Cove

Now, I will admit, Michelle Bachmann went a bit overboard regarding the 2010 Census (which many Conservatives disagreed with me about), but, other than that, she has been on the money for most of the year, is firing Conservatives up, and getting Independents involved. So, of course, some Republican has to speak out. But, how?

The image of travel-ready conservatives flooding the hallways of the Capitol complex to confront members of Congress may not be one that Republican leaders are too keen to project.

A conservative Republican House member, speaking on the condition of anonymity, suggested that Bachmann’s views — and her willingness to state them — make it hard for her to keep staff.

“When your captain’s crazy, it’s time to find a new ship,” the lawmaker said.

Thanks, unknown chicken (deleted) Republican!

And this is exactly one of the problems with the Republican Party. An unwillingness to stand for Conservative Principles, such as the Power of The People. They have been too scared for too long about offending their Democrat buddies and the media, you know, the same people who will run a Republican over with a very large bus in a heartbeat. Then back up. Aim the drivers side wheels, then drive forward. Then complain how mean the Republican is for complaining about being run over. Ok, that was two problems.

It’s high time that Republicans realize that being Democrat Lite, wanting to be liked by the media and Democrats, capitulating to Democrats, forgetting what they were elected for, spending too much, and a few more items, gets them nowhere. They need to move back to the middle, otherwise known as Classic Liberalism, ie, American Conservatism. And grow some cajones.
