I have no problem with a party using the issues of the day to fundraise.

On another subject, I like that change in attitude I am seeing from the GOP House. It is about time they grew a bit of a backbone and started taking on the opposition instead of quaking in fear of the media.

To those of you advising the Repubs to moderate their stances on the issues because they will turn off voters, I say that you have swallowed the medias talking points hook line and sinker.

Bob Dole, John Mc Cain and Mitt Romney were not tea party candidates. And they ran campaigns that tried not to offend the moderates. And they got their heads handed to them on election day.

This time,run an aggressive campaign. Stand up for your principles do not apologize for them and be assertive and take the press head on when they start the inevitable smear tactics. People hate the media,a lot. Make them an issue.

If its Hillary for the Dems, do not handle her with kid gloves. Make her take positions on issues. Question her qualifications,after all,what has she accomplished in her time in public service? Anyone?

I want the GOP on offense this time,and maybe,just maybe,they are figuring that out. Offend Blacks Gays and Hispanics? Most of that is feigned by the media anyway, plus the majority of those groups are NOT going to vote for you. Stand up,show some courage, and let the chips fall where they may.

Whole heartedly agree, ab.

A lot of politicos are Type A personalities, or they wouldn't be where they are. Their (perceived) status means a lot to em'; and the MSM has power to seriously affect that perceived status.

So they question is...do they "deny themselves and take up their cross"...pick up the sword and start swinging...or just hold on to status and go along to get along. It's been the latter. We'll see, now that it's either now...or never.
