I don’t think even the hard-core liberals would want to see Nancy Pelosi as Speaker Of The House again. That woman was a public relations disaster for them. Who else have they got who isn’t despised by the moderates and independants, as well as practically everybody else who bothers to vote? And she’s so power-hungry that she will not go away until she finally drops dead.

Excellent comments. You, I and GeronL are essentially identifying the same demographic that cost the election in 2012 which is the 6 million strong blue collar conservative vote. They sat it out.

And to think the GOPe strategizes to replace that lost conservative demographic with Hispanic votes; idiots.

There is too much gloom & doom on this forum. What is needed is the grassroots efforts to primary out all those tired, senile old RINOs, some of who have been hanging around congress since the Nixon Administration. Activists all over the country are working hard on it. Others, like some of the posters here, are just giving up. If some of you had been living in our great-grandparents’ time you would have said:
“Hitler has conquered most of Europe, and he is now bombing London into submission. His army is vast and well-organized, and the German people are solidly behind him. All hope is lost. We may as well surrender.”
Where is your spine? Where is your determination?

Are conservatives repeating the mistake? They take it for granted that the electorate in 2014 will be the same as in 2010.

The mistake was electing a bunch of weak cowards who bore the label "Republican". And no,the mistake will not be repeated - - at least not with my vote, unless I see amnesty flushed down the toilet for good and the Democrats shut down government rather than see their communist "Mengelecare" killed.

Yes, it is actually hard to believe they could be so clueless.

Yup, the ‘Rats have controlled the House for a long time. Even during the so called GOP majorities. The GOP are weak sauce losers.

Agreed again.

While all you say is true the reason the GOP lost the last election is that the Rats have ready access to a sufficient block of voters that the GOP does not. “The Nonexistent Voter”. The recent post about the number of Registered Rat voters in NC over 112 years of age is just one more example of it. What ever else is true if the Rats can just “adjust fire” in the precise booths needed they can’t be beat. This is why they fight any effort to fix vote fraud so fiercely.

How would you be able to tell the difference?

Expedition of our decline. No more strongly worded letters of protest or other contrived "resistance" to the tyrants on the Left who will soon be the absolute masters of the weenies and traitors "on the Right". Those on the Right don't mind because they are followers vs. leaders and will still lord it over the People.

Here's more.

With landmark lawsuit, Barack Obama pushed banks to give subprime loans to Chicago’s African-Americans

Bill Clinton’s failure on terrorism

And, of course, Obama and Hillary's failures in BenGhazi and Egypt.

Add a number on this site who divide folks who are mostly conservative, because they are not exactly like you. When you or others divide that group-you’d be better off spending your Obama divide and conquer game on HP as that is where the low info voter is. You can change some of them there. you will not change anyone here. You will run off donors.

You seem to be one of those low information GOP groupies that live in the past with the fantasy notion there are two major political parties in the USA, the democrats and the republicans.

I live in the reality of the here and now where the two major parties in the USA today are the ruling class and the country class.

It’s not a divide strategy, it’s an argument with a new point of view that will turn the GOPe on its head allowing for a take back of the party. Call it a hostile takeover.

Disgruntled corporate GOP donors can go kiss the rings of democrats if they like, and many have. But then they find there they are at the bottom of the barrel, whereas with a little thought they can decide to back American ideals with us, else we tell them no deal.

Lobbyists only want legislation that is in their interest of their clients and all we want is allegiance to conservative principles. They play ball with us by our rules, we play ball with them; it’s that simple. Else they can go cut a deal with the hard left who they know they can’t trust or who they know will bury them with political liability.

GOP donors that court democrat power centers might as well put their heads on the chopping block because their assets will eventually be consumed by the unions including government unions. There are too many examples to list of these occurrences.

So their selling point has been you go with our RINO or else you get Obama-Hillary. We’re changing that, you go with our conservative or your RINO gets primaried.

Hispanics go with a winner or they follow La Raza. The GOP has had no real winners since Reagan, so La Raza smiles. The GOP has many fine conservative Latinos but they are not controllable by the likes of Rove so they get shunned. Only the Rubios who agree to follow the GOPe script get the spotlight. That is going to change.

So there’s no point in planning a divide of hispanics because there is nowhere for them to go except for where La Raza tells them to go. And we are not ready yet to tell them to come to us because we are still fighting the Rockefeller republicans. When that battle is completed, then we’ll talk.

You want donors? Get with your Tea Party Chapter and help them achieve non-profit non-partisan status with the IRS.

Reading assignment for you:

PS - Over the last 13 years I gave more than $30,000 of my own hard earned greenbacks to GOPe sponsored causes and candidates. I want my money back.

“We’re /you’re changing that.” What is the “we” stuff? You have mice in your pocket? Ants in pants? Why not state what “you and you alone stand for.” America was founded by many rugged individuals.-They had basic values when it came to rights, freedom of religion, self reliance, plus other things. They were not into divide and conquer as many had just seen the Church of England tell them who, what, etc.. We had 13 colonies and not all were the same religion.One was even catholic. We had basic principles we agreed on then. Sorry if a person is not my ideal candidate after going through the process, but; I will vote for that person vs Obama or Clinton.Yes, I wish things were much more conservative-but; I see some too far gone also. Even in the military we did not have all pilots,SEALS,other SPECOPS, etc. It takes many different skills to make a team/unit. I hope you will realize that not all can be you. And anyone who wants there money back-Well,we call them “Indian Givers”.I do not want to know one.

In the last year plus some on the site have become like attack dogs. Sad. Maybe GED’s will help some.

You’ll be happier if you find youself a nice little RINO blog where you can find fellow RINO commiseraters to ‘share’ with.

Here’s one for ya:

FR is not for everybody but it is first in its class and is a leading forum for conservative thinking. It is also tremendously effective. You may not know it but Freepers were crucially instrumental in the 2000 Bush-Gore Recount in Florida and without their activism, Gore would have won in 2000.
