We have 30 GOP governors. They should be looking at an electoral college proportional voting system to fight against demorat vote stealing.

Not holding your breath for that one, I trust.
I’m sorry to sound so bitter, as I know I have on FR ever since November 7, but I just feel so discouraged now. The Soros Administration now has it hooks into so many things. These people are evil, but they are brilliant and have studied and plotted their way into mounting the country’s takedown. How many executive orders will we see, in the coming years, that just go right around Congressional authority?
“Romney didnt sit on his lead, he was still building it when crowley snatched it away...”
You won’t catch me defending that beast, but even so, Ryan was effectively muzzled and Romney was running a REPUBLICAN campaign from MA...which then showed up with his get out the vote implosion.
“She’s a “ladyparts voter” (new term which I take credit for coining).”
And she actually mentioned a ladypart in explaining her decision - and I’ll leave it at that.
No, I’m not holding my breath for anything. I have been as sick as you since Nov 7th. I have watched zilch TV news - nada. I even turn down the radio on the hour and half hour.
I wish I could be Felix Baumgartner, but I wouldn’t jump. I’d just stay in my balloon capsule up there happy as a clam that I jumped off the earth.
Right now I feel like a guy denied parole and have to wait out another 4 year sentence. I was so counting on that Nov 7th parole. I was beginning to taste freedom again, and the door has been slammed shut.
They are pure evil, and the republican party refuses to shovel the crap right back at them. And the idiot voters are more empowered by the word FAIR instead of the word FREE.
Maybe we should move to Singapore. It’s just been declared the least emotional city on earth.
Amen to all that you say. Except moving to Singapore. They have stolen my country, but I refuse to be evicted.
So glad I have my faith in God to sustain me.
A blessed Thanksgiving to you.
“...and the country is not evenly balanced between the two parties.”
You’re right. That explains the conservatives and patriots controlling 30 states, up from 25 in 2010.
I agree with that statement....about the "volunteers"....but the rest of the "volunteers" are MOSTLY UNION people and students (another form of a union for the demothugs). In the city where I live (a MAJOR SEIU city) we have very FEW DEM Precinct people....it's the UNIONS doing all the vote buying...and then there is the fraud...
YES...to everything you said...although I fear we’ve LOST the cultural war, and that the only thing that will help us regain our grownd is all out civil war...I pray I am wrong.
YOU have said it so well....exactly as I feel. Especially the last 2 sentences!!!
Can people stop with this “Reaganesque” pining? Ronald Reagan was a unique historical figure that will never be repeated. Even if it were to be repeated, it won’t happen in time for 2016. The Reagan phenomenon had a long lead time and there’s nobody in the GOP politics that fits the bill.
Reagan had unique personal qualities like charm and a quick wit that virtually nobody in GOP politics possesses. He also had firm values and beliefs in the American system that nobody in the GOP establishment possesses. The GOPe didn’t have them when Reagan ran for office and they don’t have them now. If you can find someone who was in the entertainment/sports field who has a long career in political activism culminating in two terms as governor of a large state who will run against incumbent President of a deeply divided party during a severe economic downturn then okay maybe. But don’t expect someone like that come along just because you want them to.
We need to cede politics at the National/Federal level and concentrate on state houses. Hear me out. It is there, at the state level, relief will come from Federal Tyranny. Secession needs to be on the table as an option too.
"Reaganesque" does not mean an exact clone of Ronald Reagan. Not sure where you get that idea. Reagan's success was not because he was an actor or a governor. Reagan's success was due to his unique ability as a conservative to connect with large numbers of voters. The great communicator who backed it up with solid conservative principles.
Reaganesque candidates with a combination of conservative idealogy and mass communication skills is exactly what we need not only for President but in the House and Senate.
Reagan’s success was not because he was an actor or a governor. Reagan’s success was due to his unique ability as a conservative to connect with large numbers of voters.
Who is trying to do that? You're missing the point. We need conservatives who can connect with large number of voters in the Presidency, House and Senate.
A blessed Thanksgiving to you too BiggRed, and hoping you don’t have too many Blue family members over for the turkey.
From the age of 6 on, I always took my son to the voting booths with me to teach him the importance of this precious right. He is slightly to the right of Attila the Hun now. Musta worked.
Thank you much and most heartedly agree with your comments on this post.
I don’t know what it will take to turn things around, but I do feel we have an advantage in the off-year elections. We kind of have two electorates now. The dembots primarily come out on the presidential years and overwhelm us.
But they are too lazy or unconcerned during the midterm elections, and that is how we make gains in the House and Senate. I don’t mind gridlock provided the pubs really dig in.
If it looks like the GOP is on a perpetual slide into presidential oblivion, those states with republican governors and legislators may consider casting their electoral votes based on congressional districts.
That way Philadelphians can vote 200% of their population but only get the electoral votes of Philly and not the whole state. I’m not crazy about the idea but that may be the only return fire we have left short of the return of Ronaldo Magnus, and I doubt if the moocher voters would understand or appreciate his greatness.
