The Nasty GOP? For some conservatives, the labels “nasty” and “mean” are well earned.

As Peter Schweizer reported in his piece “Don’t listen to the liberals, Right-wingers really are nicer people, latest research shows,” studies have borne out what I’ve always known: Liberals are cheap, ungenerous, uncharitable, unloving, self-centered, envious, greedy and covetous. They’re less likely than conservatives to devote time to ailing or needy loved ones, and they even hug their children less. And this reflects one reason why they support big government: they assuage their consciences by outsourcing their charity. I’ll add to this that they’re lustful, prideful, wrathful, often slothful and, if Michael Moore is any indication, gluttonous as well. In a word, they are the Seven Deadly Sins incarnate.

The GOP goobers can now breathe a sigh of relief. I’m a newly registered “independent”. That’s one less “mean and nasty” donor that they don’t have to worry about anymore. I won’t embarrass them by telling the truth and demanding that the truth always be told. I’m TEA Party all the way now.

I can see this person has a problem with reality being spoken

Precisely.

Geraghty is an echo chamber for the elitist GOP establishment geniuses who gave the party Dole, McCain, and Romney simply because they seemed so... safe. (And anyway, it was their turn.)

Romney, instead of running scared from the Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms, should have amplified his "47%" remark and then offered proof after proof of how Democrats politicians go on vote-buying sprees with the hard-earned tax dollars of people who actually work for a living. Gingrich was definitely on the right track when he labeled Ubama "the food stamp president". (You can always tell you are on the right track whenever you hit a nerve with the rats and see the horror on the faces of politically correct squishes like Geraghty.)

No- we should never mention that people are selling their vote for "gimmies". That would be mean. The fact that these people are little more then prostitutes is mean. White Hetrosexual Male Gunowner Christian NRA member, and I smoke. I know mean. Is an "authorized Journalist" still not knowing that the name of "Barack the Magic Negro" is an LA Slimes headline even worth reading? Hehehe.....

I am old enough to remember when this country was far superior in many ways to what it is now. Yes — contrary to all ideas about human progress, that’s the fact. It wasn’t perfect, but it was better, especially in the grade of human being who lived here.

There were stupid things said and done during this campaign. They weren’t things I would have said or done, so I don’t feel any burden to defend them. I do reserve the right, though, to be angry and heartsick when I see the government at every level and an increasingly ignorant and shiftless populace send this country down the drain. There is not a day that passes that I don’t think — and worry — about what kind of country my children will have to live in.

I think that’s what is happening. God is giving our nation up(Romans 1). Hopefully, national repentance and a return to God will happen but I do not believe it will be during my lifetime.

I’ll go against the grain here and agree with much of what Geharty is saying, with the caveat that without the leftist media out there covering for them, the Democrats would be exposed as the meanest, nastiest bunch of scoundrels this side of the Bolsheviks.

But . . . alas the leftist media is still in control of the dominant narratives in this country and it doesn’t help anything for conservatives to feed into the notion that we “hate” women, gays, blacks, Latinos, etc. It’s not true, at least for me. I truly believe that conservative ideas and policies will result in better lives for nearly everyone (except maybe Democratic politicians, union bosses and welfare cheats). I don’t see why we can’t express our ideas in the public realm in ways that reflect that.

What a complete pansy. Additional proof, if any was needed, that the gop and it’s cheerleaders are long overdue in assuming their spot on the trashheap of history.

Actually, it was a BLACK columnist who first coined the term “Barack the Magic Negro”, but that fact is lost on blacks who are just looking to be offended by Republicans.

Jim Geraghty claims that Obama ran up “huge margins” with women and young people.

Only half true.

Romney got a majority of white women, white young people, and married women.

The Democrats and the MSM have spent the last year pounding the theme of racial division.

The result?

Obama was reelected.

But Romney got the highest percentage (61%) of white voters in modern times.

That percentage will go up in 2016, and so will white voter participation.

So the Democrats want a political race war?

Believe me, dudes, you just got it.

This is the MSM's idea of who's the "victim":

Liberals call conservatives all KINDS of vile, foul things, but let a conservative have the AUDACITY to fight back, guess who is ALWAYS wrong? Those mean republicans!

Don't they know they're supposed to TAKE the criticism and LIKE it?

Pathetic. We must cater to the sensitivities of the “lady-parts” crowd in our every expression of opinion — lest we be tarred and feathered (figuratively-speaking only, thus far, at least) as “mean,” “contemptuous,” etc.

By the way, does this Geraghty fellow even have a clue about how Islam really works? I suggest that he needs to read “Atlas Shrugs” blog daily for three months and then write a piece about what he has learned.

May I suggest that the reality of 80-85% of voting US Muslims going for Obama is not because Ann Coulter said “ragheads.” It has to do with agendas.

It's time to ignore the PC Crap; the left will accuse us of racism, bigotry, homophobia, etc. no matter what. Just keep the eye on the ball, not on diversions created by the enemy.
