Anti-EU Parties Soar in "Political Earthquake" Elections

The New American
26 May 2014

With European Union bosses working overtime to finish crushing what remains of national sovereignty and self-government in Europe, the public across much of the bloc appears to have had enough. In elections to the European “Parliament” — not a true legislative body in the traditionally understood sense of the word, but the only elected outfit in Brussels nonetheless — political parties opposed to the ongoing EU takeover made massive gains. Meanwhile, in another troubling omen for the super-state and its proponents, less than 45 percent of eligible voters actually cast a ballot in elections held over the last several days.

>>No, you can thank George Bush and Karl Rove for Obama.<<

There is a lot of substance in that statement. Bush’s “high road” doctrine let any and all slams against him go unanswered (Katrina was one the fastest and best responses to a disaster in modern history and Bush let the left define it as Conservative neglect).

But other than the Black vote, the “Conservative Purity” vote helped obozo in 2008 and probably was the difference in 2012 (and obozocare could have been killed in 2012 by Romney).

The prefect is the enemy of the good/not that bad.

You can expect more f these mindless attacks as the establishment continue to cajole and threaten conservatives "Vote for the crap sandwich or you'll get Hillary"

Our retort? We don't vote for crap sandwiches GOPe, so start getting your priorities right in the primaries!

Bush and Rove’s policies lead to one of lowest approval ratings in American History when
he left office. A 27% approval to be exact. Yep 27%

That gave us Obama. The GOP had all three branches of Government
and spent like drunken sailors.

So, you can thank Bush, Rove and the GOP for Obama.

Decades and decades of “moderate leadership” has brought this country
to the brink. Reagan was the only exception.

What part of that do you not understand?

Your way isn’t working. Time to try something different, like another
true conservative, like Reagan.

Hell, I'm at the point now where I will vote just as aggressively against Republicans as Democrats

Yes, I believe the Republican party must be destroyed first.

Whatever is left in the ruins can be shaped into a Conservative party.

And don't hand me a bunch of nonsense about irreversible gains by the left. There is NO political order that cannot be overturned through the barrel of a gun.

Can we get rid of this guy? His post #24 is offensive...

"You foolish worm-eating children don’t know the difference between the nomination process and the election process."

Or, at least make him promise to be civil?

Right, burn it all down. That’s a philosophy for winners.

You got the amnesty part wrong. Cruz supports the legalization of illegals. He just doesn't call it Amnesty.

You can see from that list why I couldn't vote for Romney.

Yep - helping O'bummer stay in office was definitely a better call.

You may be ok with voting for a pro-abortion gun grabber that was the father of Romneycare, but I didn't do it. I won't vote for your liberal republican.

Instead of blaming the conservative for not voting for your liberal candidate, why don't you put that effort into shutting down your party's open primaries, and early primaries in the liberal northeastern states?

Because you aren't going to win elections with liberal candidates, no matter how frustrated at me you get.

Living down to your inability to provide intelligent argumentation, as usual.

If you have been told that conservatives won't vote for your liberal candidate, and you know you will lose without that vote... why do you persist in running pro-abortion, gun grabbing, socialized medicine candidates?

All you are doing is name-calling, which is all you frustrated liberal republicans can do.

Because I won't vote for your liberal republican candidate.

You know you can't convince conservatives to vote for a pro-abortion gun grabber, and it frustrates you. You turn that anger into alienating the votes that you need to win.

The result is that you will be responsible for running another liberal republican and giving Hillary 8 more years. Because I won't vote for a pro-abortion, gun grabbing, pro-amnesty liberal republican.

Over a year after most people admitted their mistake, you plow on with the Romney support. Worse, you advocate we repeat it, Intellectual arguments are not YOUR strong suit. As for me? I advocated doing the right thing before people like you bulled wrongheadedly into giving us a liberalized GOP.

YAY ME!!!

Post Yosemite Sam on a Dragon as political commentary next. Like the other Romney fan was fond of doing a while back when losing his arguements. Sure, you will look as stupid as he did, but hey, he got attention too.

0bama won because the moochers, looters and inner-city tribal parasites outnumber the producers and because the dims have perfected the art of massive voter fraud.
