Twelve WordsHugh Hewitt tells the Republicans what
they need to do.
Speaking of Hugh Hewitt, this one is worth a
read.
What ought Congressional Republicans to be fighting for and rallying around? It isn't complicated: Win the war. Confirm the judges. Cut the taxes. Control the spending. Twelve words. Not difficult to express, but apparently beyond the ability of the Congressional majorities to articulate and defend. As the worst week for the Congressional Republicans since their rise to power in November 1994 comes to a close (Jumping Jim Jeffords' big bounce is a distant second as that was an individual betrayal, not a collective failure of political will), the electeds are about to scatter without so much as one hour of serious floor debate about the hard left turn taken by the Democrats, or even the latest front page leak of a national security secret. You cannot win arguments that you don't make, and you can't maintain majorities when those majorities make little difference in the life of the country. Mr. Hewitt certainly isn't the first to notice that the Republican majority acts more like a indecisive minority. I could live with that plan.
