“We gotta watch what we say,” Gowdy told the audience. “We gotta stop saying stupid things. That’d be a good place to start.”

The Republican, who has been a stalwart of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, went on to discuss the damage Republicans have done by saying things that are inaccurate about minorities and noted the effect such comments have on the for rest of the party.

“I think actually Luis Gutierrez said it best. He’s not prone to giving advice on Republicans. … And he told me, ‘It is one thing if the voters don’t like you. It is something else if the voters think you don’t like them,’” Gowdy said. “And without naming names, if any of you want to go on Al Gore’s invention and Google it, Republicans have said some things that are just impossible to justify during the immigration debate. Has it been many? No. But it doesn’t take many. It just takes a couple and if you are waiting on the media to be fair, that’s not going to happen.”

He has to mean dumb things like these to name two. Being carful would be very helpful


Rep. Don Young (R-AK) “My father had a ranch; we used to have 50-60 wetbacks to pick tomatoes,”.

And

Rep. S. King “For everyone who’s a valedictorian, there’s another 100 out there that weigh 130 pounds and they’ve got calves the size of cantaloupes because they’re hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert,” he said. “Those people would be legalized with the same act.”

Congressman Gowdy's advice implies that if Republicans are careful enough they can escape criticism.

He's dreaming.

The Democrats and the MSM have amply demonstrated that, if necessary, they are more than willing to make stuff up.

Gowdy is way too smart to think Republicans will escape criticism.

He's just saying don't hand it to them on a silver platter.

I agree with him. BE SMART, people.

Tingles is just a mouthpiece for his party disguised as a journalist. He needs no reason to lie smear and trash the right.
