Half of all U.S. wage-earners pay no income tax. Yet that half and their families receive free education K-12, Medicaid, rent supplements, food stamps, earned income tax credits, Pell grants, welfare payments, unemployment checks and other benefits.
Why should poor, working- and middle-class Hispanics, the vast majority, vote for a party that will reduce taxes they don’t pay, but cut the benefits they do receive?
Sadly we spent all our time trying to occupy the GOP rather than build a new party.
The GOP has become pretty corrupt. The democrats still have the edge but not by much.
There are some good folks in the GOP and any building needs to start with them.
The GOP is only dead, if it opposes America.
As long as the GOP fights for America, the GOP wins.
So. Fight for America GOP.
I don’t see a GOP candidate taking CA or NY anytime in the near future. Obama lands Air Force One in both states long enough to fill his money bags. Union employees, the unemployed and hispanics own those two states.
It’s somewhere around 50-50 (according to the odds makers). If Obama wins in November, democracy and political parties will no longer be relevant to restoring freedom, and it doesn’t matter what happens between the November election and the unavoidable consequence of that mistake.
If Romney wins, the GOP name will survive. Whether it survives as a big government leftist party or is taken over by the Tea Party is the real question. I want decent Americans to take back the GOP and keep the name (such as it is).
Will we become more like Europe?
Or, Mexico?
“In the long run”, said Milton Friedman, and as an economist, Jew, celebrity, and a Nobel prize winner, he’d know better than most, “we’re all dead.”
Start with Allen West!
Buchanan hasn’t been right about anything his entire life. He’s properly attacked here on FR for his views. Why would any rational person believe him now?
I’ve got a good congressman here in Michigan. Tim Walberg is quiet but he’s a solid conservative.
Buchanan gets a portion of things right.
Others not so much.
He’s like most people that way.
That strategy is for every Republican in a solidly blue state to switch to the Green Party.
If the Green Party gets a sufficient percentage of the national vote then they can become a real third party. The ultraliberals will then feel more comfortable about joining them. This will bleed people away from the Democrats allowing Republicans to win a plurality of votes in many elections.
This will require conservatives to vote for people whom they violently disagree with and who in some cases will be reprehensible human beings.
The ultralibs believe that Obama is a pawn of Big Business. They hate him almost as much as we do. We need to tap into this by supporting the Green Party.
But we won't because good Christians will be repulsed at the thought of voting for gay atheists, 2nd Amendment supporters will lose their lunches at the thought of voting for a gun-grabber, Pro-Lifers will deem it immoral to support a pro-abort, etc.
Voting for a Republican in California or New York or Deleware is truly a wasted voted. Voting Green, although problematic, at least has the advantage of being strategically advantageous.
He’s right, of course. The only way to stop the ongoing destruction of this country via the immigration system is to completely overhaul it to mirror Australia’s, which is based solely on merit, abilify to speak English, and need for employment in hard to fill areas.
Obama has completely opened the southern border via executive fiat, choosing to simply not enforce laws on the books.
Legal immigration is a problem just as much as illegal immigration is a problem at this point, but no one dares tackle it. The average legal immigrant does not contribute to this nation in a positive way, and the statistics bear this out. It’s simply an addition to the national debt.
The reason things haven’t been even worse is that Obama’s economic policies (ie destruction) have slowed immigration to the US.
The cultural rot will, of course, be what finishes us off. Down the road of hedonism we go...
Alas, there’s nowhere else in the world for the rest of us to go, so it’s stand and fight or shrug and move on.
I must agree.
In February he said that Israel was a bigger threat than Iran.
