The Cavalry That Never Came ... Mark Steyn

Reasoned response, may I suggest getting involved at the local level where surely there are groups of like minded conservatives who know who the conservative candidates are and are working to get them elected. Tea Party, good place to start, John Birch Society, always on top of who and what is engaged in destroying our way of life as ordained by the Constitution, start a group yourself or find some of the former local elected officials who have had the same taste of tyrannical government and party politics you have seen. If thousands of concerned citizens sit at home you won’t know one another exists, and will continue to bask in pesimism. Read, start a class on the US Constitution, run for office, win lose or draw, you are part of the solution.

Bottom line, the Republican Party locally has a platform that reflects conservative values, read it, support it, and do not whatever you do abandon the principled party, only you can hold candidates responsible for the destruction many of them seem willing to cause. Don’t blame losses on voter fraud, be a watch dog man the polls, there are rules in place in most states to control mischief at the polls, do your part. You are this very minute missing out on a very important primary election where ever you live.

Fail to vote and you get exactly what you deserve. Fail to vote and you saddle others, with your negativity, and more than likely at least two years of a democrat candidate who really knows how to destroy freedom. Bow out of life, and your are essentially bowing down to your masters the democrats, and those who are not in your camp get the same dose. Get in the game!!!

It’s a very demoralizing campaign ad for the Democrats. You have some building set upon by vandals, hooligans, and terrorists...you call for help from the only source possible....and they do nothing. Perhaps in the background, one voice suggesting maybe they should call for the French. One simple thirty-second commercial...destroys the 2016 election for the Democrat running for President, five or six Democratic Senators, and really puts the news media in an awkward position.

There’d have to be someone with stones running ... perhaps Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin or Trey Gowdy, but the chances of that are right between slim and none. No, someone like Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Mitt Romney, Marco Rubio or some other moderate Ripon GOP governor will be the nominee and will be scared to death to run that ad. The geniuses that ran the McCain, Romney and Bush 2000 campaigns will be in charge, again.

If in fact the Democrats boycott these hearings, the issue of what kind of Republican will be nominated in ’16 might very well be as much of an issue in the hearings as whether a Democrat can be trusted in the oval office.
Romney’s decision to punt on Benghazi in the third debate isn’t likely to look particularly statesmanlike when this investigation is done.

One of the head ‘Rats, either Pelosi or Reid, was shown on TV claiming that at least two of the families (of the four dead) want the investigation to be closed down. Of course the two were not identified and the statement is almost certainly false. Huckabee knows from personal contact that at least two families are anxious for the investigation to continue.

If you are right and you can’t beat Santa now, then the next box is the only option.
I noticed Rand when he was setting up to run in ‘16 was a little too diplomatic towards the dems when he spoke to the press.
The gutting of the middle class is almost done, everybody is afraid they are going to lose their job, but I still find it hard to believe that so many believe in fairy tales.
I had hoped that there were a few more Americans left but you are most likely right. A people who believe in nothing will fall for anything.
I guess when the financial collapse comes we will see who is who.

Sorry for the late response. Been out. Saturday, you know.

Thank you for the most helpful suggestions. There is an active Tea Party in my rural county. It seems that tt would be a good place to start.

I admit to being very discouraged by the proliferation of the low-information voters who are in the process of destroying this country. Maybe I do need some attitude adjustment and folks at the Tea Party might help with it.

Had the same exact feeling at that moment, don-o.

I realized it was a pivot point in the campaign, and one I thought could be overcome.

But Romney never pressed the advantage, then, or later.

Up to that night I had real hope we would oust Hussein.

After that, I hoped in vain for the GOP to win.
