Here’s what I see the real problem for the Republican party, more specifically the Conservative party. With few exceptions, politics doesn’t sway our most qualified to run for a government position. When you weight, “yeah we know we are right on the issues” vs. “yeah, and the scumbags will go after my own children” during the campaign, it makes it difficult to get enthused to run for any office.
With the climate today, best represented on this thread by the insufferably and predictable hack BC, why would anybody of sound mind subject themselves and their families to the constant bombardment of idiots with a medium to advertise?
For us to win and dominate, we must first destroy the real enemy in our midst than enables these progressive flimflams. And we do that by beating them at their own insidious game.
Don’t go after the lame politicians from the Left – that’s the easy part as it apparent Obama and the Left can’t find both butt cheeks with two hands. Go after their smear merchants. Personalize it against them with few restrictions and be willing to make it nasty and humiliate them when and where necessary. Think Sidney Blumenthal and William Arkin – and play for keeps. 
Sooner or later, you have to bloody a bully’s nose. And we still haven’t learned how to punch. Now is the time.
