Obama and his gang of Alinskyite thugs are not as tough as they look when we know how to fight.
Well, well, well, elections actually do have consequences, don’t they? Millions of Americans are indeed suffering the real consequences of the Republican Party’s mealy-mouthed, yellow-streaked performance during campaign ’08.
Oh sure, both the Democrats and the willfully myopic media are most to blame for the Obama presidency, but it is high time that the Republican Party hotshots do a little introspecting of their own.
How is it that the American electorate knew so little about Barack Obama that they could stay stoned on hope-dope all the way to the voting booth? How is it that Jeremiah Wright’s racist, anti-Semitic tirades had not been heard by every man and woman in America before election day? What yellow-bellied nincompoops permitted the Democratic Party to turn the presidency of the United States of America into a garish, iconographic, messianic ego trip for a single individual with no qualifications but a teleprompter and a real-world resume fit for the back of a postage stamp?
Election ’08 was a clear case of Republican abdication. It was a propaganda war fought banana-republic style and John McCain was all but missing in action. Barack Obama didn’t have to win. All he had to do was show up for his coronation. Heck, the guy didn’t even have to put an American flag in his lapel or lift hand to heart during the national anthem. He just had to show his face, remind Republicans at every weak moment that he was black and the whole lot of hotshots sang his praises almost as much as his Democrat enablers.

Republicans are on the government team.
0bama gave us the tea party. If McCain had won things may have been worse. The difference now going into the 2012 election is that the republicans are on par with the democrats in terms of social media. In 2008 Palin did not even have a facebook page!!!
Let’s take a ride on the WayBack Machine, shall we??
I said in 2006, that if the Media could convince the Sheeple that a 4.4% unemployment, and a 14,000 DOW were Nancy Pelosi’s “Worst Economy Since The Great Depression!”, was true, then the media could convince the sheeple of ANYTHING....
I lament to this day that I was so correct about that.
Remember Chucky Schumer on the NBC Evening News screaming “WHERE ARE THE JOBS, Mr. Bush!”, and all of the “McJobs!” bs?
Rule #1: FIGHT BACK!

You are on to something here. Too many Republicans are for the big government programs and higher taxes. Too many of the Republicans are genetically programmed for reach across the aisle and compromise politics. Too many Republicans have more in common with the Democrats than the Tea Party. Conservatives must target these confused souls and defeat them in the primaries. Conservatives also have to decide on one conservative candidate early and unite behind that candidate to take on the establishment hierarchy.
Excellent article.
Object is to win Romney, not compromise.
One of the most irritating things about Bush was his inability or interest in fighting back.
Dems own the press - we can’t crush them in a propaganda war... ever.
