The Townhall Blog header reads "GOP Turning Up the Heat on Obama and ACORN"
Are they turning up the heat, or just whining and wetting their pants?
I've failed to see where the GOP (presumably the RNC) has taken steps to actually DO anything. Is ACORN some big secret that was just learned in the last two weeks? No, it's been around a long time. Has the GOP done anything about them? No.
Now it's too late for this election cycle.
Will the GOP do anything about it starting now for the next time (besides use it as a fundraising boogeyman)?
Probably not.
Another example of the GOP's great liability as a party, the inability/unwillingness/distaste for closing with the enemy and fighting it out.
"Vote for us, we're not as bad as the other guys" is the GOP rally cry every election year. Just keep us incumbents in so we can continue to eat lunch at our club, have our prime rib the way we like it and our martini stirred not shaken; golf every afternoon and adjourn on Thursday for a long weekend. We got ours and could care less about anything else (except getting reelected).
