Gingrich in 2004 (What happened to proud Republicans)

Let me start by telling everyone that I will always be proud to call myself a Reagan conservative. I mean lets face facts here, the party didn't want Reagan, the people did, and the party knew they could win with him. Bush was picked as his running mate to appease the blue blood Republicans. Even though I support the Bush family, it seems at times that they're diplomats and not politicians. In a time when we need leaders whom could care less what the rest of the world think of us, our Republican leaders leave our President out there to fend for himself during a very important election season. Republican leaders have more ammo to use against Kerry than the state of New York had against John Gotti. And what do we hear from them, only one thing; Dead Silence. Would Reagan stand for this, would Gingrich stand for this, and by now we know that Bob Dole would not stand for this. This is because real men stand up for what they believe no matter what. If Newt were to run for office tomorrow, I would be on the stump for him in less than a second. Why ? Because real conservatives believe in hard work, financial independence, and the smallest government possible. The great evil in any country's history always leads back to one thing, THEIR GOVERNMENT. I always refer to Bill Parcells as the last great football coach. I truly believe that Bob Dole and Newt Gingrich (and maybe Pat Buchanan) may very well be the last true conservatives. My message is this: Bush get dirty, get political, tis the season. Dick Army and the rest of the Republicans, its time to stump and drive home the victory. No one ever won an election without getting a little dirt on them. Stand up for what you believe in, fight for what's good in this world, and in the end you will always be victorious.
