Dear Republican Party

I am going to be blunt and maybe a little crass. The Republican Party needs to grow a set. I am talking about balls. Look it is not your job to be loyal opposition. It is not your job to help the new President be successful. You tried being Democrats-lite in the last election. No one elected you because why vote for the imitation when you can have the real thing? McCain was like dry humping; not really satisfying, but it beat no thrills at all. McCain had no traction until he added Palin to the ticket. Imagine that, people actually flocked to her rallies and the Repubs got support when a Conservative was added to the ticket.

Look Republican Party, take a page from the Pelosi/Reed playbook. Fight for what you believe in. Playing nice has not worked in the past. The liberal press isn't going to show you any love no matter what you do. They are just going to screw you and throw a fifty on the dresser on the way out the door. No kisses, no hugs. Get over it.

If you stand for smaller Government then vote that way. At least when you go down in flames you can do it with your integrity intact. No compromises. When you give in on your principles you may be both holding the stick at the end, but your half will be covered in shit.

People respect those who stand up for their beliefs. Put up the good fight, lose with grace and you will be surprised where you are in two and four years. This administration is headed up by a loser with no accomplishments that has picked losers for advisers and cabinet posts. The Democrat-controlled Congress has even lower approval ratings than outgoing Bush. If you are perceived as part of the plan, instead as opposed to the plan, you will face more losses.

Trust me on this -- Go, fight, win.
