The WAPO is the one that broke it. Woodward. Maybe Obama is scaring even them.

Let the two parties officially merge and let's jump on the bandwagon for a third party....it's either that or rebellion.

The Republicans know we're between a rock and a hard place. If we go third party - the democrats win. The social parasites on the left will always vote for the person who promises to give them another dollar.

What we need to do is forget the (R) and forget the (D), and rally people to vote "Conservative".

Vote for a liberal (D) or (R), and you get liberalism.
Vote for a conservative (D) or (R), and you get conservatism.

The problem is - politicians lie. They campaign one way, and morph into a flaming commies once they get to Washington. Oboma ran on lower taxes, ending useless social programs, the second amendment, family values.....these are conservative issues (that's how he won). Now look at what the people ended up with. The exact opposite. A Communist.

The only way to judge a politician is to watch what they do. Pay no attention to what they say. Their voting record will tell us who they REALLY are.

Obama is on 24 / 7 campaign tours to destroy us, we must be pushing back twice as hard.

We are, the Republican party isn't. They're still having bipartisan niceties with their good friends across the aisle. while the latest awful RNC chairman, Michael Steele, decides to play the race card in support of the RAT governor of the PRNY. Not only does this undercut us in claiming that the RATS are always race-conscious and we're not, but calling the RATS racists does not work. After all, Republicans and conservatives are supposed to pay the price with Hispanics for opposing Sotomayor, but the RATS got more support after opposing Miguel Estrada.

The bigger thing that Steele missed was the opportunity to further nail ACORN to Obama and the RATS and throw open the NY governor's race. Here is Bob Schieffer asking Steele a question that he knows is going to get a racial response from Steele:

BOB SCHIEFFER: Let me ask you about something that doesn’t have to do with this interview. The New York Times reports this morning that the President sent word through an intermediary to the Democratic governor up there, David Paterson, asking him to withdraw as a candidate for governor next year because they think he's so far down that it's just going to drag down the party.

MICHAEL STEELE: I-- I-- I found that to be stunning that the White House would send word to one of only two black governors in the country not to run for re-election. And it just raised a curious point for me. I think Paterson-- Governor Paterson's numbers are about the same as Governor Corzine's numbers, yet the President was with Governor Corzine, and I don’t know if there’s been a request made of Governor Corzine to step down in New Jersey. So I-- I just find it to be stunning and also rather bold.
(Source: Face The Nation Transcript, September 20, 2009 [p 8])

Steele obviously takes the racial bait and runs with it instead of doing what he and every other Republican should be doing: Pointing out that Obama and the RATS are pushing Paterson out of the way for NY attorney general Andrew Cuomo who was ACORN's partner in the Clinton administration. While ACORN was running the ground operation in the subprime "you're a racist engaging in economic redlining if you don't lend to minorities" campaign, Cuomo was running it at the command level as HUD secretary.

Long past time to change leadership. 2010 is going to slip away with buffoons like this running things.

Government servitude. We'll be forced to labor under the banner of "Community First."

We'll be just like Venezuela, Cuba, the U.S.S.R., and China. It's a democrats wet dream.

Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson would not recognize the political parties today, but they would sure be right at home in the battle of big government elitist vs. small government conservative/libertarians.

The Republican agenda summed up in five words: “Give us our power back.”

Precisely.

The Republicans, I fear, are once again misreading what's going on. The grassroots fire spreading across the country could easily consume them as well, especially if they ride the tide to victory then just give us the same old sh*t they've given us before.

Personally, I don't think they've learned their lesson. Winning back your majority is one thing, keeping it is another.

Yes, they are. Our paychecks are gone to pay support for the democrat base before we even get them, and we get to keep the few pennies left behind to support our own families.
They're still sitting pretty in Washington while the American tax payer is forced to make bricks without straw. The Republicans look the other way, because it doesn't affect them personally.

Liberties are being stolen in the name of political correctness. Political correctness is designed to silence all opposition to the liberal agenda. The Republicans look the other way, and pretend they don't see it.

No. They don't get it. The government has crossed the line. The oppression isn't happening to them, because they get to live under different rules and different laws.

Boehner better worry about getting HIS party in order before anything else.

How many years did they have the majority, and they sat there JUST like democrat fat-cats doing nothing.

WE voted them into office and they did NOT represent us.

He needs to stop worrying about taking ‘power’ back and get the Republican party together and organized and focused and ready to DO some WORK for a change.

By "suggest," you mean to offer by way of advice, or to warn, and not a recommended action, unless you are recommending ridicule as a plan of action.

Jimmy Carter calling me a racist is no more meaningful than a gutter drunk calling me a 'pizza' on the street corner. Interesting, but not unexpected. Certainly not accurate, and therefore not worth defending against.

It isn't unexpected because a bigot is the very definition of a conservative winning an argument with a liberal. It's the very definition of "shut up!"

Only God can shut me up.

Get ready for increased use of the charge “racism” towards anyone who would dare disagree with Obama.

His ideas are miserable failures, but if I think that, I must be a racist, right?

So I suggest when they resort to that tired ploy, we laugh at their charge and refer to them in a ridiculing manner as suggested in “Rules for Radicals”, by Saul Alinsky

I would further add that we need to put the spotlight on the mdeia for their miserable failure in their traditional role.

Americans are already voting with their remote control by the millions, but they wont go down without a fight so we should include the media in our criticism

When the people find out Obama tried to delay the Afganistan report for 6 weeks while he tries to ram socialized medicine through there will be hell to pay. I do not think the public will accept our troops getting killed for Obamacare.

The only people who will learn this kind of stuff are Fox News viewers and they already know we're dealing with evil. The mindless sheep that still support this guy will always be clueless as they are led off to slaughter.

Again. Woodward and the Washington Post are breaking the story. I think the Libs at the Post are even getting worried about Obama.

Sadly, Republicans are partly to blame for the current mess. During the Bush years when they held serious power in Congress they were little better than the Democrats in spending money and the first bank bailout was on George Bush’s watch. However, the Democrats fresh from Obama’s victory and their retaking Congress went on an orgy of new spending that has piled up debt that even our great grandkids will have to cope with. Fortunately the voters are waking up and are mad as hell.

“House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) says the country is in the midst of a “political rebellion” because his Democratic colleagues are “bankrupting America.””

He’d better be looking in the mirror, there may be a target on his back. I don’t want politicians I want honest Strict Constructionists. I don’t want large government Republicans.

Said rebellion is of a political nature... for now.
