I had a rather heated exchange with Republican telephone solicitor who called recently. He expected me to be “outraged” at Obama’s 500-person European entourage and other secondary issues. I asked him what strategies Congressional Republicans were employing to combat the Obama administration on illegal immigration/border security, taxes, further “swindle-us” programs, corporate bailouts, single-payer healthcare, etc? I inquired about the seeming void of Republican leadership, principles and ideas. No response to my questions but further “outrage” over Obama’s European escapades. I told him not to bother to call back until Republican leadership was ready to listen rather than talk.
