You don't need better press agents, you need leadership that will stand up to the crazies. Unfortunately, the RNC chairman is too busy with his lavish spending of donor dollars and too intimidated by the Glenn Becks and the old people in the funny hats screaming about "getting government's hands off Medicare" to get any kind of message out.
The Democrats let their most extreme elements run their message in the 70's and wandered in the wilderness for years thereafter. I predict the same for the GOP if they don't stand up to their radicals.
"I think you are missing The Needle's point. In the context of his time, Jesus was a "liberal", just as the Founding Father's were in their time."
Jimt is correct.
If Jesus were alive today, Bill O'Reilly would cut his mike, Glenn Beck would be ranting that he was a socialist, Rush Limbaugh would be making fun of his hair, and Ann Coulter would be calling him a f*ggot, then trying to convince everyone she was just kidding.
You claim this is "nationalizing health insurance", which is absurd, the bill does nothing of the kind. Actual leftists like Kucinich derided the plan as a "giveaway to the big insurance companies", which is equally idiotic.
Jesus was a liberal commie. And those followers of his were even worse:
ACTS 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
4:34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
4:35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

Can’t Force Insurance
This steveital person's brain is apparently a lot like a pinball machine. The ball just caroms about randomly and there's a lot of noise.

Ignorance abounds on both ends of the spectrum.

What Did GOP Bring to the Table?
And the Senate Bill, BTW, was very similar to a bill proposed by Republicans in 1993. The bills compared:

What Did GOP Bring to the Table?
A crap bill that insured fewer Americans and didn't cut the deficit nearly as much.
