You solve it by the Republicans demanding we see proof of citizenship.

At the very least, the occasional “no one even proved he was eligible to be president” blurted out in various interviews when criticizing issues that Obama supports but most Americans do not.

That is clearly going to take a protest. Berg needs to have as many people at the SC when his case comes back to the SCOTUS. Without a significant showing of people the Big Boys in Black are not going to touch this with a 10 foot pole. The potential for violence after such a ruling would be huge. Think of all of his worshippers. Basically brainwashed cultists.

It is unbelievable what you see in people now. They need to have something like The Baker Act for all these Obamanites. Like detox in a padded cell.

Keep telling the truth to one 0bamabot at a time. Help one open his eyes, then repeat. It is a slow, tedious process.

Oppose everything he does on principle, obstruct with filibuster selectively, and let him solve the problem himself. In other words, set him up to fail. His policies will ruin the country, yes. But he is what the electorate wanted, and he is what they get.

obama is not the problem. obama is only the symptom of the problem. The problem is the people who elected him.

So long as idiots and parasites are allowed to vote the problem will never be solved. It will only get worse.

So, now fear, from the highest court in the land, where their individual oaths are abandoned, allow that fear to usurp The Constitution? The blood of our forefathers runs cold now as they knew fear well and the risks; those who made courageous sacrifices to establish this nation and release themselves from tyranny.

“Republicans in the House and Senate have to find a voice without getting in between a 70+ percent President and the American people”

This is the absolute worst advice that could ever be given, similar to “well we're for the troops but against the war.” Zero should be called to task for each decision that Republicans feel he is in error. This notion of a “loyal opposition” is a complete and utter fallacy. All that will produce is cover for the false messiah’s illconcieved decisions and hamper Republican chances to accentuate policy differences going into the 2010 election cycle.

Any documenation that proves or otherwise the real place of Obama’s birth has long since been sent to Sleep with the Fishes.

George: I’ll call out ‘Tippy toe!’

Jerry: ‘Tippy Toe?’ I don’t think so.

George: Alright, er, OK I got it, erm, I’ll sing.

Jerry: What song?

George: ‘How do you solve a problem like Maria?’

I think it’s a given that the low ratings of Congress are a result of its actions and policies.

Most people (I think) are still unaware that the Congress is majority Democrat; they’re still laying 100% of the blame for the economy on President Bush.

However, with a Democrat Congress having a far left Democrat president to push through some of the really unpopular stuff that Democrats have always stood for (no matter how they marketed themselves), people will see the results, and Obama’s ratings will slide.

His ratings aren’t in the 60-70% range because of policy; they’re there because of marketing. In marketing, the customer base only sticks around when the product delivers as promised.

It is the job of Republicans to point out that y result is a result of x policy; our media is not likely to do that crucial job.

“So long as idiots and parasites are allowed to vote the problem will never be solved. It will only get worse.”

Yeah sport, you got it right. What's amazing to me is that the Dem's have waited so long to buy an election by promising 95% of the people a tax cut. This so called tax cut which is nothing more than a cash hand-out to about 75% of the working population, has secured a Dem majority for the foreseeable future. Now, more people do not pay taxes than do pay taxes. So, guess which party the majority of voters will pull the handle for from now on? I don't think appealing to their higher morality or shaming them will work. I think the only shot that Republicans have of winning either house or the presidency is on the national security issue. For this to occur would require a WMD attack with causalities and deaths in the many thousands. Not something that I wish for but in my opinion that's about the only thing that would cause those who have been prostituted by the Dems to change their votes to Republican.

How Do You Solve a Problem Like Obama?

Have press conferences and townhall meetings back home where the GOP representatives take questions- unlike the White House. Even the mainstream media will be starving for real news instead of staged events within a few weeks

Have a real alternative simple workable plan, with a mantra. (STOP THE CLASS WARFARE. Let all of the American working people keep and decide how to spend the money they earn) Rush Limbaugh has done what McConnell and Boehner have yet to do. Shame on them.

Mumble sympathetic sounds to the democrats as they realize that the boys from Chicago are effectively trying to reshape this society and rule this country by executive order. If and when the Congressional democrats form a circular firing squad, make sure Obama Pelosi and Redi are in the center.

Not the GOP.

Flame away ....but I would start using Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals against the Democrat Party.....

I would start with #9—The threat is more terrifying than the thing itself......

Have the GOP start leaking to the media that there is a movement among the population to stop producing wealth because of the current and possible future tax structure...IE—letting the Bush tax cuts expire....

The Conservatives have become the radicals for change..

Just an idea...feel free to expand or offer your own....
