I Am SO Sick!

I received the following essay in the form of an email this morning.  It was from the younger half of Two Sisters From The Right.  Physically she's just fine, but her "illness" refers to her mental state as it regards politics. 

Like her, I too am sick, as are millions of Americans.  The very powerful Obama political  machine has silenced our voices.  Natural causes silenced one of Conservatism's greatest voices, Andrew Breitbart, but the powers that be in government, and the left wing, liberal mainstream media does not allow our voices to be heard.  This is the reason why many of us have become "citizen journalists" and have turned to the Internet as a means to vent, and to express our frustrations and our concerns. 

Is there time to reverse gears and plan another course?  Presently there are no clear answers, but anything has to be better than what is happening now.  Today we read that Mitt Romney has issued a directive to his staff to minimize the strife between candidates and to try to achieve party unity.  We pray, for the sake of the GOP that others follow in his steps.

In Philippians 1:27, Paul makes this very clear: “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.” That is, he says, “Live day by day in the Roman colony of Philippi as worthy citizens of your heavenly homeland.”

Santorum, Romney and Gingrich make me SICK every time they slam each other (which they do every single day).

If I were a presidential candidate, and if I had the best interest of the nation on my conscience (NOT my own personal gain), my message would be this:

• "I want to be president and I am qualified to be president. These are my policies; this is what I believe; and I hope you will vote for me. BUT.....at this time the most important thing for American voters to do is to make sure they rid their country of the most destructive administration they have ever placed in power.  To that effect.....please note that ANY Republican candidate is a better option for the USA than another four years with a president who is consistently and recklessly destroying individual freedoms, tanking the economy, and shredding the Constitution."

I realize candidates can't express themselves that succinctly, but there are so many ways they can convey that message.......beginning by avoiding calling each other weak, untrustworthy, incompetent, etc.    A united front is the ONLY thing that will ensure a GOP win. How can they expect American voters to get behind their efforts if all they do is bicker, criticize and complain?  

 

Voters need to feel that, if their favorite candidate is not nominated, either of the other two is a viable option. Instead, Santorum followers think Romney's weak and Gingrich is two-faced. Romney's followers think Santorum is wishy-washy.....etc. etc.

 

Meanwhile, the Democrats stand by champing at the bit.....ready to pounce on any and all stupid remarks that come out of Republicans' (or conservatives') mouths while they themselves are firmly united in their quest to destroy America as we know it.

 

Are Republicans so extraordinarily dense that they just don't see this?    Do they not see that they are destroying themselves?

 

HOW can stupidity and mindlessness reign so supremely within the party that can save us while cleverness and quick-wittedness is so eminently employed by the bad guys?  If this is truly a battle between good and evil, evil is going to triumph. And I believe it could have been avoided if Republicans had heeded a well-known biblical warning: "A house divided against itself cannot stand."
