They said RIP DNC in 2004 and we all know how that turned out...unfortunately. I just think that a transition of the GOP to 100 percent conservative is our best option. Michele Bachmann/Rick Santorum in 2016 would guarantee our success. I am sure that I will get hate posts because some FREEPERS hate conservative good people like Bachmann/Santorum just as the GOP Elite does. UGH!!!!!
To me it is.
That is a truth that all too many Americans have forgotten! Americans need to hear that message.
Its hard to get positive coverage when the MSM has devolved into left wing propaganda organs and the commentators are Obama sycophants. Yet all the politically correct nonsense will not protect the American people from the disastrous economic and social policies the Left is implementing. Eventually the truth, however ugly, will win out.
This is a basic Axelrod strategy. He and the Obama’s know that they cannot run on their dismal record so they demonize the opposition and do whatever they can to destroy it. The GOP has a huge target on its back. The tactic worked in 2012...they will renew it for 2014 and beyond.
Obama et al. are trying to divide/ destroy the GOP so that they can own the House in 2014. We need to FILL the House and the Senate. We must never, never, ever let THEM define US.
In before the DU trolls, Ron Paul kooks, the ‘Third Party Will Save Us’ cranks, faux conservative Concern Trolls, the Downfall of The Republic Chroniclers, and the I’ve Never Lifted A Finger To Get Involved Politically But I’m Going To Bitch Anyway And Justify It By Saying I’ve Gone Galt.
Oh wait, I’m too late. My how low the mighty Free Republic has fallen.
The Republican Party will continue on pretty much as it is for so long as the Democrat rulers feel they need a sham opposition. It is like Venezuela, now. The Left is not in complete control but close. The Republican Party is no more than the Designated Opposition Department of the Democrat Party.
The GOP is a party, not a movement. The GOP has one focus, get elected, (or re-elected). Republicans are quite comfortable with the minority role. Their concern at this point is two fold.
1 - They realize being a permanent minority will lead to be gerrymandered to oblivion.
2 - They need to take a majority in the House to get the good committees.
That’s it. That’s their focus, and their concern. Yeah, they’re dead.
Did we suffer through the “don’t criticize the Democrats” era with Bush? It seems to me like they don’t get criticized enough, and if they do, it doesn’t seem like the Democrats aren’t penalized for their bad behavior, just swept under the rug. I feel if that happens more often, and they’re punished, then the behavior will stop or decline.
Am I wrong?
EVery election cycle they predict one of the major parties doing so poorly as to exclaim that it is the end. It is ALL talk and fluff. It never happens. It is just something for the chattering classes to talk about. However, if the GOP does not listen to its base of conservatives, they WILL find themselves continually losing, maybe even losing their base to a 3rd party. If they do not turn off the Steve Schmidts and the Carl Roves and tell them to take a hike, then many of us will be looking to find a place that conservatives can call home and win. I’m sort of sick of all these surveys sent out that seem to mean nothing. Congress does what it always does and the GOP is always left holding the bag, being blamed for everything and no one has the balls to stand up and tell it like it is. I am so exasperated by the GOP that I am no longer calling myself a republican. When we recently moved, we voted in the republican primary, but we did not register with the party. I’m all for some change in tactics as long as we do not abandon our conservative principles. PERIOD.
What model do they have in mind? Mexico during the decades when the PRI won all the elections? The Eastern bloc during the Cold War when the Communists were the only party? The one-party South of the first half of the 20th century? Detroit or Chicago on a national scale?
The GOP as it is now is worth nothing. It is a pansy-faced wimp of a party that once was great.
the GOOD COP BAD COP ploy that politicians in DC have routinely played has finally come full circle. Wouldn’t you know it, they’re ALL BAD. Yes, they have really effed the average American and are now fearful of us. They are now maneuvering to disarm the citizen’s and ordering the military to prepare to take over America’s streets. Some career politicians, the real cowards, are even choosing to retire. Their common reason; its time to spend more time with family. Just my opinion but I’d say they are hoping they will be over looked once the SHTF.
Where is the "Oh Geez" guy?
We've heard this before, but maybe these ideas will get through to the 'pubbies:
1) You can't out-Democrat the Democrats. What Liberal (Communist) voter wants a cheap immitation when they can get the real thing?
2) You want to budget stuff, then do it like it is coming out of YOUR pocket, not ours. Quit writing rubber checks.
3) Hang what the yapping lapdogs of the Liberal media say, RIGHT is never Wrong. Pick up your copy of the Constitution, blow the dust off, and reacquaint yourselves with the separation of powers, the Bill of Rights, and that you don't have to kiss any butts in DC.
4) If you are hearing something on ABCNNBCCBS there is a high probability it is completely bass-ackwards to the truth and reality.
5) If you feel the need to exempt yourselves from some laws, then you shouldn't pass them. We likely don't want to live under them, either.
6) Next time you are back home for a townhall type meeting, ask what concerns people. Don't argue with them, just listen, repeat, LISTEN. If they are spewing Liberal crap, they are probably Liberals and wouldn't vote for you on a bet, but listen to them, too, then listen to people disagree. Conservatives aren't your enemy, so don't be ours.
If you have never run your own business, get out and talk with people who do. Not just the big guys in town, but the little outfits, the ones with only a couple of employees, the owner/operators who really feel the crunch from policy changes, because they have to keep track of them, too--while they are trying to run a business. The big outfits can afford to have an IT department, accountants, and lawyers on staff--for the little guy, it's all food off the table.
7) If you are in the House of Representatives, you have a unique opportunity to help our country by voting against the destructive policies promoted by this administration. Money is the lifeblood of the tumors of governmental stupidity, and you can cut off the flow. Don't give in. Greece once relied on 300 Spartans, we don't have as many of you. You will be vilified in the DC press, and probably nationally. Wear it as a badge of honor. When wicked people revile you, you are doing the right thing--the flak is heaviest over the target.
There is very little of real America inside the Beltway, and most of that is behind glass or under lights in the Smithsonian (or even more likely, in storage).
Now, I'm not expecting much, partly because he who expects nothing is seldom disappointed, and partly because getting a thought into the head of the average elected official is as likely as penetrating the armor on an M-1A1 Abrams with a jack knife, but I am going to say this all in hopes you will see the light and change the course of this nation, away from the economic and philosophical abyss it is headed toward. You are driving, don't wreck, and if they won't let you steer, stand on the brakes.
Well, there are sure lots of good reasons to believe so.
Here are a couple new ones, just from today:
