"A president’s Job Approval rating is one of the best indicators for assessing his chances of reelection. Typically, the president’s Job Approval rating on Election Day will be close to the share of the vote he receives. Currently, 44% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's job performance."
Now that is a statement that warms the cockles of my old heart! (THANKS, Scott!!!)
It is only happening on FR. (By the way, I am back from church.)
Often wondered how Issa was able to do unflappable - with liberal 'moderators' having hysterical fits... Thanks - now I understand...

Glad to see you settled in. Miss Lewes? Cause ain’t nowhere in the world quite like Lewes Delaware.
Latest on Vance Phillips-don’t know how much you were keeping up with the Sussex county stuff-but Phillips the guy who kicked the sheriff in the groin. Then he fell from the sky in some sort of soaring airplane and now he’s accused of having an affair with 17-year old, seen acting inappropriately at the Bridgeville Apple-Scrapple Festival.
Sussex county Delaware, more interesting than any metropolis, I tell you.
I’m campaign Treasurer now for TWO challenger candidates for the Sussex county council. The local yokel GOP, neanderthals us all, are putting up a candidate against every council member voting to get rid of the Sheriff.
Remember y’all, you heard it here first.
Heh.
Why aren’t we smart enough to devise a tactic to deal with this? I claim it is because we are not willing to get into the knife fight with them. We are stilly trying to play by some rules.
Look - if we 'fight' democrats - the doting court eunuchs of the MSM will ONLY report what makes dems look good and what makes us look bad.
Then they'll run to all the reliable back stabbers like McCain and Jeb Bush and get them on the record talking about how extreme we are... Ever notice that the MSM NEVER gives 'maverick' status to a Democrat? Democrats who speak against Democrats get ZERO press coverage. Instant persona non grata... for a Republican it means they can always get on Sunday morning.
Some citizens still trust the media - it's how they would know what happened in the 'fight'. What will they know? MSNBC will out right lie and doctor tapes.. The rest of them won't cover it or they'll slant it so badly it becomes a lie.
Step ONE is help citizens understand what liars the press is made up of...to know what NBC does and how the others cover for them. They need to know the bias - so great they didn't cover Fast and Furious until they got some tip from their dem handlers that maybe they could pin some of it on Bush. Turns out they couldn't, but that got the little creeps moving.
Another example, Obama was at a fund raiser for Hispanics - and he had all knives and forks removed before he'd enter the room. Doesn't happen with any other any other racial group. The MSM didn't cover it. Do you think the 'Press' would have covered that story if Bush had done it? We'd still be hearing about it.
Yes, we need ideas to fight democrats - but first help us inform the American people that their 'free press' lies to them...

I was trying to figure out how to tell Fish that poker = therapy, then I saw your teeth marks on pillows post. OMG. LMBO.
I’ll never forget his hysteria over the folks on the bridge after “Katrina”, the hurricane which missed NOLA.
I have another suggestion and just to make it real, I’ll use a real life example.
You’re comment is right, of course, that the MSM would manage to make any fighting back against the bullying media a Republican action of bad taste.
But there’s power. Lookit, Obamer’s a nothing-burger and even George Cloony and the Hollywood folks know it. But he’s the PRESIDENT and the American president will always carry a lot of power no matter what a dope.
To answer those Dem lies about F&F having begun as a Dubya program, get George Bush on Meet the Press. Have this FORMER President explain about his version of that program and state, with a bit of testicular fortitude would be nice, that his Gun Walker program ended in 2007.
Well sure there’s Repubs out there explaining this, Thank God for this, but get a former President out and making this statement.
Dick Cheney embraced this notion in his book. I’d mentioned upthread that Cheney was more liberal than I thought. But he did assert that he thought it was prudent for him to speak out after his VP stint ended, to go on TV and state the truth.
Sure, he got villified by the press but so what? Keep saying the truth and using the same logic as the Dem repeated lies, say it over and over again and....well you’ll at least confuse people rather than have them buying the lies with no rebuttal.
Point is the pubs need to have a plan of attack and they need to stick to it. But getting the pubs to stick together on anything is a bit like herding cats. They’re prizes in the congressional lottery are days without being demonized in the press, cocktail party invites....and the like.
First and foremost, goodness, the pubs need to see that SOMETHING has to be done. We can’t just stand by and let the dolts in the “journalism” and Big Hollywood community take away our country.
Fine, that is more of the same... refuting the lies. Doesn’t seem to be anything new there to me.
Should I answer all THREE of your similar posts?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if a Romney "War Room" is directing the responses to these attacks, using massive opposition research, blogs, sympathetic media, press releases, phone networks, and other means to direct the boomerang.
Actually, the policy with Cuba is unique. Anyone fleeing Cuba that gets at least one foot on dry US soil, is allowed to stay here.
eXCELLANT POST...very good , pragmatic ideas you have.
PS. I hate the Purdues...
If Mitt finally could just start talking about HOW he will fix immigration, instead up getting all caught up in the weeds about “are ya’ gonna send them all back???!!”
Leave that alone, for crying out loud!
Let them all stay and then start with...
1. Seal the border
2. Hit employers hard who hire illegals
3. cut off the benefits to illegals, excpet for ER visits so we don’t have THAT drama of a dying child sent out to the ER parking lot.
4. Grant work visas on a huge scale
5. Get LEGAL immigration porcesses up to speed.
Problem will be solved in a year or so..No need for massive deportation.
