Napoleon is attributed with making the famed comment; when your enemy is destroying himself, don’t get in the way.

That is a lesson the GOP has never learned and most Republicans in congress seem genetically incapable of learning. 

Obama has made a huge mistake with his Libyan adventure.  Liberals and Conservatives are skewering him for it.   Obama is on the ropes over this one and his entire Middle East policy seems to have no purpose other than turning the Arab countries into one massive Islamist state.

Obama needed something to get the GOP to start self-destructing again and get them fighting each other instead of him, so he tossed out the one card guaranteed to do that.

Amnesty

Speaking in El Salvador, on his way back to America, he called on the GOP to join him in enacting Amnesty.

Obama understands the GOP very well.  The GOP is probably the only organization in the world that has surrendered more than the French Army.   The GOP is more ADD than I am and has a singular inability to stay on message.  Finally, the GOP is much like my dog.  If I pull out a treat, I don’t care what else is going on, that dog is there for the treat.   Obama knows all he has to do is bring up amnesty and the RINOs are going to start slobbering all over the place for it.  The GOP will surrender its values and this will reignite a civil war in the Republican Party.

Obama takes the typical liberal racist view that all Hispanics are pro illegal immigration.  Obama believes that just because people are Hispanic, they have only one point of view and that point of view is determined by the color of their skin.  Unfortunately, the GOP falls into that same trap.  The simple truth is not all Hispanics are for illegal immigration.   There are some that are.  There are a lot that are not.  Amnesty will have a huge cost, not only in money but also in political upheaval in this country.

The GOP lacks the singular ability to stay on message.  Michele Bachmann is one of the few members of the GOP who knows how to tenaciously stay on message.  This is something the Republicans should learn.  Her interview with David Gregory a few weeks ago on Meet the Press is a classic example of how to stay on message.

Bachmann’s message has been simple.  No continuing resolution without cutting $105 billion for Obamacare.

The GOP had a great chance to stay on message and not only defeat Obama in a landslide of epic proportions, but they could have had the opportunity to establish the GOP as the dominant party for the next twenty years.   The messaging is simple.  Obama is bankrupting us and we are going to cut the budget, balance the budget and save the country from financial collapse and national insolvency.

Unfortunately for America, the GOP is doing its best French Army imitation and is reverting back to its norm of unilateral surrender and forsaking victory at all costs. 

Two hundred years ago, Napoleon led the French Army across Europe.  He was a great general and when he was leading the French Army, they did not surrender.

The Republicans have some very talented conservatives.  The problem is, they are not the ones leading the party.
