Stop flinching
"The sad fact remains that our leadership in the GOP is very good at flinching in the face of leftist jabs. They go something like this: Senator “A” is a bigot, and a meanspirited reactionary for opposing my bill. He wants to see seniors eating dog food and children dying of malnutrition, and ten million homeless people living under bridges.” Senator “A,” coming from a small town or suburbia, is used to working on political problems the same way the local Chamber of Commerce addresses them. They put all of their partisanship and personal religious beliefs aside, role up their sleeves, and work together to promote the economic expansion of their communities. Senator “A” has no experience whatsoever in dodging these kinds of extreme personal attacks, which are right out of V.I. Lennin’s playbook. So he flinches. "
