The Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele found his spine today, issuing a blistering statement towards the Democrats about their plans to rebuke Joe Wilson because he refuses to apologize AGAIN.
In another stunning example of hypocrisy, congressional Democrats are wasting taxpayers’ time and resources on a legislative measure to censure Congressman Joe Wilson so they don’t have to talk about their exceedingly unpopular health care plan. Without question, Joe Wilson made a terrible error in judgment and has wasted no time in extending a personal apology to the president. The president has accepted his apology. If we are going to march Members down to the well of the house to apologize, Joe Wilson is going to have to get in line behind Nancy Pelosi, who attacked the intelligence community who protects us, Charlie Rangel who cheated on his taxes, Jack Murtha – a walking scandal, and we all know how the Democratic leadership tried to protect William Jefferson. Democrats don’t want an apology. They want a side show – something to shift the focus away from their government-run experiment on health care.
It amazes me to no end that we have to “find our spine” to take on the Democrats and their drive towards socialism.
There has been too much emphasis and adherence to the “good ol’ boy” philosophy where decorum and civility trumps truth and principles. Where “get along” is far more important than doing and saying the right thing. We conservatives need to understand that we sometimes must get our hands dirty and our noses bloodied in order to protect conservatism and the American way of life that has been the mainstay of our history for the last 230 years. What made our country great is the belief in three basic tenets “God, Family and Country”.
