Republicans, even RW ones, admire & respect backbone. I heard it on RW radio today:

[AnotherMother4Peace]

Two right wing personalities on (KFI - LA) discussing how they were both better off now then they were 4 years ago, as evidenced by the stock market, and then how they thought Biden's "Bin Laden is dead, and GM is alive" statement was a powerful one. It was a short, but sincere discussion. They then quickly realized they might not be following party line, and went back on message.

I do believe right wing Republicans admire and respect backbone.

1. Michael Steele just said Michelle's speech was "a hell of a speech" & that he "was an American"

and had to give her props where props were due.

I tell you - this honesty, compassion, and BACKBONE thing is going to go far. He even said her message was powerful. WOW

2. Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

8. Your rudeness underwhelms me. nt

10. I do not now, nor will I ever care what a repuke

has to say about me, my party or my backbone. No Democrat could take this personally.

3. I think what you're saying is important.

I doubt that we'll get many Republican votes, but hopefully the few folks on the fence might be inclined to vote for Obama, based on our stand.

7. CP - I'm honored! Those people on the fence, Independents, moderate Repubs, Repubs that go into the

booth and secretly vote for Obama, or abstain from voting, WOMEN!. We'll take them all. It'll take work, but tonight was a great start - BACKBONE!!!

4. Jon and Ken?

They have some silly discsussions. I don't know how they get an audience.

6. No, not them - the guy on right before them - I forgot his name. nt

5. I have been saying that for years... even the American electorate at large admires backbone.

THAT is why they went with the Tea Party in 2010. If we show serious starch this year, it'll be why they stand with us in 2012.

9. Agreed! BACKBONE! Say it loud, Say it proud! nt
