Why is this news?
Karl Rove wrote an article for the Wall Street Journal today entitled ”The GOP Must Stand for Something.”
Well. Duh. Congratulations, Karl. It only took you eight years to finally grasp what we’ve been telling you and the president all along. The GOP must stand for something.
We think we stand for lower spending, for lower taxes, for allowing the states to attend to those duties which are the states’. We think we shouldn’t be running amok invading places when we have no national interest at stake, but when the decision IS made to invade that we should go balls out until the mission is well and truly accomplished beyond any doubt. We think the president should be a role model whether he wants to be or not, setting an example for others to follow. This means, among other things, that it shouldn’t appear that English is perhaps his third language. We believe that America is for Americans and people who want to legally become Americans, and that WE are our primary interest in the world, not our trading partners. We believe we should get out of the way of business and allow them to innovate and to reward that innovation. We believe people should get to keep as much of the money they earn as possible. We think the Constitution says what it says and that it is the centerpiece of our laws and our system of government. We’re just sorry you’ve spent eight years not agreeing with us. If you did we might not be where we are today.
Yes, Karl, the GOP must stand for something. Too little too late, you finally figured this out. Now get out of the way. Those of us who are left have a hell of a lot of cleaning up to do.
