It is certain that Republicans will lose seats in both chambers of Congress. The only question is how many. And yet, that’s not the worst which will befall the party of Lincoln this year.
The post-mortem of these elections will register loud, screeching, knee-jerk noises of the vultures and the hyenas. These cries, to which the faint-hearted are extremely susceptible, will demand that the Republican party abandon its defense of faith, family, and freedom, at home and abroad. There will be ransom notes asking for the party to forget those who have no voice: the unborn. Pundits will spin statistics, as they always do, telling us how the GOP’s fight against terror and its stance for human rights cost it the suburbs. Blah, blah, blah. Essentially the same nonsense one heard in 1862 and 1866. The moneyed faint hearted class of believe-nothings wants to use the frustration of ordinary Americans and attendant incompetence of a few Republican leaders to pry away the raison d’etre of the Grand Old Party.
Thank God, Phyllis Schlafly is still alive and vibrant. It shall be up to the stout hearted like her and her kind to keep the GOP feet to the fire, to give the RNC a spare backbone when little people like George Pataki and Christy Whitman advocate wholesale capitulation. It will be in the wee hours of November 8, 2006 that the battle for the soul of the party will begin in earnest.
Martin Luther King Jr., said it well that the “character of a man is revealed not in times of comfort and convenience, but in moments of confusion and controversy”. That time of confusion and controversy descends on the Grand Old Party on November 8, 2006.
Will the Republican Party stay true to its character?
