His grandfather was CIA. His mother worked for CIA from time to time and who is to say Obama was not brought into the fold. I also always remember the story of Bill Ayers’ father’s home. The mailman was invited into the home for his Christmas tip. He met a young Obama who told him he would be President someday. Obama knew a long time he was going to be in the White House.

I believe if we continue on the sell-out path we are on now, the GOP is finished.

However I strongly believe if the GOP takes to position that US jobs are to be built and strengthened, and turns to American jobs strongly ... RIGHT NOW.

The GOP can embark on a massive regrowth.

It must stop outsourcing. Now though. As things are headed, the GOP is bound for historical irrelevance.

a large swath of dependents
labor unions
fear mongoring
illegal immigration
voter fraud
a dirt stupid electorate
a compliant and complicit media

low opposition voter turnout

And a live for today mentality

He came out of the Chicago Marxist scene back in the 1990s, made some early Commie friends, joined Wright’s Black Liberation church, and then punched all the right tickets in local thug politics, gaming the system then entire way.

I would add that the 2008 financial meltdown appears to have done some sort of lasting psychological damage to the country. People now seem far less trusting of Capitalism and free markets than they were previously. I think the desire for bigger government is sadly real, and is the result of some pent-up desire to see banks and Wall Street punished for 2008.

I think if we had experienced a normal recovery cycle people would have shrugged this off and figured that the markets are self-healing. But because it has dragged on so long (part of deliberate Obama strategy, I’m now thinking) they are beginning to give up on this faith, and are now questioning our entire economic system for the first time since the 1930’s.

Reagan did a very smart thing in that he prosecuted hundreds of bankers in the S&L scandal. It reaffirmed people’s faith in the system. In this case no one has gone to jail for the ‘08 meltdown, and in the minds of many that represents a lack of justice.

True that Obama is the one who did not go after them. But the media has taught the public to always blame Republicans when a businessman gets away with something shady.

45 years of Third World immigration. Obama is their President.

Demographics have changed. In California Americans are a vanishing species.

Thank your local Open Borders Republican. The Democrats sure do, they just don’t do it openly.

Okay, we are in agreement on those points. Thanks for the explanation.

He had help from bigger people than that.

“How can the GOP bring back jobs to the U.S.?”

For a start, by not electing Republicans who push bills like this:

“For example: VDARE.com has good friends in the DC-based immigration patriot groups. But they would be the first to admit that they have been unable to prevent the GOP House Leadership celebrating Obama’s re-election by passing, in the lame-duck session, a bill (H.R. 6429) to increase legal immigration, by giving visas to foreign students who get U.S. advanced STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics] degrees—at a time of massive unemployment among American-born graduates!”

I’m not disputing that, but once he got hold of the Chicago thug machine, he was able to tap into larger Illinois politics (getting himself “elected” to the State Legislature), and then the DNC, which put him front and center as keynote speaker at the 2004 Rat convention, thus naming him as Kerry’s most likely successor (as either president or candidate). Through crook and hook, he won his U.S. Senate seat in 2006, and instead of going to work for his constituents, he hit the 2008 campaign trail.

Np.

It is time to reverse course.

America first.

Either with the GOP, or if they won’t lead with another party.

Stop selling out American jobs.

Now.

Is that bill for workers to work in the US? How does it affect bringing jobs back to the US?

Yes, there IS that (the free stuff); and then, too, there’s the fawning, pseudo-intellectual lamestream MEDIA that hangs on every word of the “Teleprompter King”, strews his path with rose petals, and falls all over themselves becoming in reality what they’ve accused us Conservatives of being all these years.

If he stole the election in 2012 who is to say he didn’t steal it in 2008..
Republicans don’t to know how he did it, and most don’t even CARE..

Thats WHY the republican party is today doing “WeekEnd at Bernies”..
With Boehner and McConnell holding “IT” up by the arms..
Republican “Bernie” Smoking a joint..

Republicans are leaving this corrupt party in droves..
Many I know of personally..

Bush and Juan McLaim were BAD but Romney was beyond the pale..
The republican party is quite dead you know..
Remaining; Republicans have become Morticians..

The GOP has been outsourcing US jobs for years.

You are the ultimate broken record.

Unions hate competition. Democrats hate competition. Conservatives thrive on it.

Your position on trade is the same as Bernie Sanders (Socialist) Vermont and the major labor unions.

I do not, and never have, advocated unions.

A big difference.

Whether you advocate them or not, your position is the same as people like Bernie Sanders and the big labor unions.

You don't like competition and don't understand why it is such a boon to the consumer. If your policies were in place we'd still have the big 3 auto makers in Detroit churning out garbage, union made vehicles.

Competition is a good thing. Bloated, corrupt unions and terrible government policies that prevent us from competing properly are bad things.
