I think its possible to diagnose what many of our actions will achieve politically. We have not done so in the past and we keep getting our asses kicked, I’m tired of that.I don’t know how to do it now but I’m going to learn.There is just too much at stake.

Sadly, few on our side here are really listening to you. They just think that we’re not fighting hard enough, and if we double-down we win. But that’s not reality.

The facts are we indeed have not fought hard enough, but not for lack of trying, but rather because the media has tied one of our arms behind our back.

You’re idea of fighting HARDER against Obama’s underlings has great merit. Utterly isolate the king from his rabid ministers. The democrats learned this with Reagan. He was just too popular to fight head-on, so they invented Iran-Contragate. But that backfired too due to Lt Col Ollie North, praise God!

We, on the other hand, have SO MUCH MORE than Iran-Contra. We have, just to name the top five: Fast and Furious, IRS Scandal, Benghazi, NSA Spying, Veterans Affairs.

We need to hammer him and the democrats on this. Every democrat running should have these, plus ObamaCare and Amnesty tied around their neck by their respective Republican challenger every day until November 4th.

We don’t need to lie, because we have the TRUTH. But the TRUTH needs to be on the lips of every Republican as a simple set of talking points—uttered EVERY time a microphone is stuck in their face, and, like Chuck U Shumer before a camera, race to the front of the camera to declare them again.

We can win this with the truth.

Trying to impeach Obama while knowing it will not win a conviction is not sound—AT THIS TIME.

Demolish the democrats FIRST. THEN the time will be better.

I think the GOP has been taken over by political consultants who put the candidates into straitjackets. They come across as programmed and plain vanilla. They are afraid to express their real opinions. Everything is poll or focus group tested. One reason that Christie has some popularity is that he at least, appearance wise, does not seem to fear saying what he thinks even it offends someone. Ted Cruz is more outspoken than the usual GOP politician. It is refreshing.

When you keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect a different result, you are insane. Time to follow folks like Jeff Sessions (running unopposed this year) and Dave Brat.

Over a year ago, I had about a 45 minute one on one briefing session with Eric Cantor on the issue of immigration replete with charts and a briefing book. I said most of the things I have written here many times including reducing legal immigration. At the end, I asked him that if these immigrants were voting Rep instead of Democrat, would the Democrats allow immigrants to come into the country at over a million a year. He laughed and said, "No way." So why are we?

Phyllis Schlafly's 48 page Report, How Mass (Legal) Immigration Dooms a Conservative Republican Party is a good overview of immigration's electoral impact. It is worth the read.
