“Are we having fun yet?”?
President Asterisk strikes again.
“. but no one cared when the One did it...”
And now there is a little scandal so Census can be moved out of the WH if it looks like a pubbie might get in.
Thank you for your civil response. I apologize for making the immediately preceding response so vitriolic. I was trying to make a point that the angry finger-pointing is counter productive.
Romney was very nearly below my minimum level of acceptability. I voted against Obama. But I very nearly decided that Romney was insufficiently different from Obama on several key issues, which would have caused me to withhold my vote for President.
I do not know what the solution is, but I know that the problem is that the party elite have decided they can disregard their base. To acquiesce in that circumstance is to accept being a second class citizen of the party.
Anyone with common sense knew it right away. The rest were gullible fools.
Crudele has been stating for years in the NY Post that the BLS stats are BS. This is probably just some actual proof he finally dug up.
“Go attack libertarians or democrats, not conservatives. But those for some reason do not bother the GOPe because these are all party crats.”
I didn’t think that I was attacking conservatives. Taking control of the GOP is going to be a long, and difficult process. But as bad as they are, and they are almost as evil, in my estimation as the RATs, I personally don’t think that the country will survive a Hillary Clinton Presidency on the heels of Obama. We need a fighter and someone who will not pander to the GOPe while in office. Cruz and Lee, or perhaps Scott Walker fill the bill for me. I am sad to say that Sarah does not. So I continue to ask myself what to do if we have either Fat Bastard or El Senor Bushee as “our nominee.” What I have seen recently is the Tea Party backing candidates who can’t win. A guy like Todd Akin can probably win a House seat time after time in his little corner of the world where there are enough people to elect him that are not offended by his remarks as regards women. But when you run for a statewide or national office, that “protection” is gone as we have seen. I know that the GOPe didn’t support Akin or the other “conservative” candidates, but I personally don’t think that it was their lack of support that was the determining factor in the losses. The lack of a unified organization is the curse and the blessing of the Tea Party. It isn’t “controlled” by any elite group at the top. At the same time, it lacks any good process for vetting candidates for the same reason. The last thing that is of concern to me is the “intrusion” of religious ideologies in the Tea Party. It’s fine to be whatever you want to be from a religious standpoint, but there is clear evidence that the Tea Party has been “infiltrated” by groups who see their religious preference as a litmus test for a candidate. Kinda like the GOPe does with their preferences isn’t it? We are looking for good leaders, people who have good values, but their religion should not be a determinant it deciding who gets to serve us all.
Killing babies isn't ever ok. If your candidate supports that, expect to lose the conservative base.

Well, the strategy of bean counting is to get the vote, but once with the vote, transform it. However the GOPe are fabian. They sell the ropes with which they will be hung with, even when in power.
Why is it democrats play well the middle but then get to enforce their radicalism, but somehow the GOPe plays the middle and then caves to radicals instead of using the position to cool heads and give credence to things of faith, hard work or overcoming race/disabilities instead of making it entitlements?
To call conservatives isolationists or antifreedom because they do not want to import isolationist illegals or islamists is disgusting dirty self centered politics like Chris Christy that is utterly self defeating. This is totally Fabian behavior of short sighted brats.
Bean count over the border or in votes is important, but bean quality is what is needed, and the GOPe has been pss poor on ALL fronts.
Even the Tparty is more inclusive of illegals because it is about respecting legal immigrants. The GOPe has no solution for the legal ones. Why? For the same reason they reject intelligent conservatives from their ranks.
Indeed. Abortion originaly is murder. killing and murder are two different things. Let us not kid ourselves, we are advocating murder for profit of inheritence behind terms like abortion that include both activities of murder and killing in one relativistic pseudoscience term involving no soul nor good nor bad... just plain intellectualization and minimalization behind technical sounding jargon used to describe biology. This is utterly revolting.
The GOPe is talking about votes, BUT IT IS NOT ABOUT VOTES, it is about advancing Fabian concepts because, votes or not, conservatives embarass them.
Tomorrow the TpArty could be vastly popular, they still would hate it. The big tent thing is a ploy. They love to be part of the chicken hawk power that be.
Indeed, let us not kid ourselves. The unelectable conservative mem is such horse crap. People like Chris Christy would still howl attacks at a Tparty candidate even if the candidate had 80% of the vote.
We saw this when Berlusconi got elected to the howls of establishment right wingers in Europe.
The GOPe is not big tent, it is anti conservative and fabian, the party first.
the GOPe like McCain are chicken hawks. They are just as Fabian as Democrats but rely on an image of being pro military when we know they are not so behind closed doors. They hate the military.

Thanks for jumping in there!
This proves that when they need “glitches”, they make glitches. Just like the “glitches” they’ve been needing lately with the obamacare website.
I still remember Rick Santellis reaction when this number was released!
He was more than slightly suspicious.
Holding my nose on election day is not easy as it was when we were in better shape financially.. Now it’s so dangerous beyond belief.. Staying home has more downside than voting for the morons that we are stuck with IE, Obama..
I cannot imagine Romney as liberal as he was, could have put us through what this commie has done.. Our only recovery has to be at the polls in the primaries, and then only if we shake up the BS of starting with the Northeast liberal states, with crossover voters that disrupt our selection..
Any talk of a third party is so idiotic as to not to be taken seriously.. We would not win any election with a 3rd party in 20 years if then, and who is to say that the Libs, wouldn’t find a way to infiltrate that party as well..

You need only go to the Capitol and see which rest room the GOPe uses. Almost to the man, they are totally lacking any testicles ( or backbones for that matter). When you look at a “man” like Bitch McConnell, what does he remind you of? I see Casper Milquetoast with a double chin. The only thing that bastard will fight for is his seat in the Senate. As you point out, when the RATs have any edge at all, they push their agenda like it’s a matter of life and death. The GOPe on the other hand, seemingly only want the trappings of the office, and not have to do the heavy lifting that’s necessary to push their “agenda.” Maybe the problem is, that they really have no agenda other than being a “member” of Congress. Just look at the “Bush Years.” Can you point to anything of real significance that happened for the eight years other than pissing away our young people’s lives and our treasure on the world’s premier $h!t Hole? And look at his appointments. You just have to wonder where he left his brains appointing that guy Schulman to the IRS. Schuman wouldn’t pi$$ on Bush if he were on fire! Bush gave the country Obama on a silver platter of do nothing!
I clearly remember us having a majority and being incapable of pushing something as simple as ANWAR. Completely ridiculous.
