From a reader:

Mr. Goldberg –
Something I have noticed, regrettably, for the last thirty years or so, is that
Republicans are almost always too slow to react to attacks, appear to be
on the defensive most of the time, and lack something I call the “Atwater gene”.
Once again, the Democrats have launched a carefully planned, choreographed
and executed assault on one of our very best people, Rep. Delay, and here we
are, sitting and waiting for the next wave of attacks rather than counter-attacking
with everything we’ve got.
Every attack on Delay was predictable — heck, it was even announced by
Rahm Emmanuel months ago — and we certainly should have (or at least could
easily have) a mountain of data proving that Democrats (think: Harry Reid)
have not only done everything Delay has done, but have bent and shredded
every ethics requirement ever conceived by Congress!
Why then, are we not calling press conferences, complete with charts and
graphs and photos, of Democrats doing everything Delay has done, and much
more?? Why are we not attacking the very publicly debauched and corrupt
behavior of Sen. Edward Kennedy? How about Nancy Pelosi?
I want to see your wonderful online publication put all of your formidable muscle
behind a counter-assault and behind Rep. Delay, who just happens to be a
very nice man and one heck of an effective champion of everything conservative.
Look, they couldn’t get President Bush because, in the end, his character is
well known by Americans, even ones who don’t pay much attention. Now, they’ve
trained their sights on a victim who is unknown by most, and if we don’t stand
up, bare our teeth and support this man, they just might get him.
Then what will we do? Sit around waiting for the next victim? You cannot
fight aggressiveness with luke-warm words of support. You have to get dirty
with them and kick their teeth in. Make them so afraid of what will happen to
them, that they never, ever again go after one of ours.
Do something!!!!
