Obama was beaten in 2009 and 2010 when the people rejected his agenda. When the DC party infrastructure took control of the narrative in 2011, Obama regained his footing and our party tumbled again. The same DC infrastructure ran the party from 2001-2006, and failed dramatically with significant majorities and the White House. Yet, we are supposed to listen to them and bow to their greatness.

“He (Obama) is free from the need to save an economy close to collapse,

Just once I would like to see one of the talking heads on TV ask if perhaps he is free from the need to save the economy because his goal is to collapse the economy. Based on what he is doing now and what he has been doing for the past four years, I can come to only one of two conclusions: either he is a colossal idiot the likes of which the presidency has never had, or his destruction of the economy is intentional.

The GOP will smack this obama up side his head come March 1, 2013 and they don't cave on sequestration.

One hell of a BIG “if” though!!!!!

How can you beat someone who has the whole US media infrastructure cheer-leading you and covering for you? We need to find a way to bring the media down. We need a storm of new legislation proposals to limit what they can legally do. It doesn't have to be "Constitutional" (look at the Left's attack on gun rights). Just a lot of proposals to keep them busy fighting them.

Who knows? Some might get through, and then they'll be busy trying to fight them in court (you know they would).

The GOP is full of democrats and needs to be purged. We need to get back to a agenda like Coolidge put in place. It created the roaring twenties and restore the rightful place of the Constitution. If the GOP had anyone who cared about the country they would do the same thing. The country is ready for it as the Teaparty showed in 2010. We don’t need more of the Dems agenda like the current GOP is putting forth.

********
Failure is the natural order of things for Republicans. They are, by and large, content with being bystanders just watching the show, albeit from good seats. The real players on the field are the Democrats. After all these years of repeatedly falling victim to the Democrat playbook, why can’t Republicans figure things out? I guess they really are the Stupid Party.

In order to defeat your opponent, you have to be smarter and stronger than they are. There is no evidence that GOPe is ever going to rise to this level.

The Republican motto appears to be: “To get along, go along.”

Getting close. Forget Obama. Go for the Dems in the Senate and show off Dem blunders across the country. Obama just doesn’t care what is said about him. We’ve got to bring down the foundation on which he stands.

For starters, the Republicans need to attack them at every turn and expose their treachery. The media is corrupt and predictable: it will hammer Republicans no matter what they say or do. So....why not go on offense? What is there to lose?

There has to be a total committment on the Republican side to do this, but I honestly don’t have any optimism that will ever happen. Republicans are just too comfortable in their natural position in last place.

Expecting the GOP to suddently become winners is, I think, a bridge too far. They keep looking for Democrat fumbles to advance the ball, but they never score any touchdowns.

Over the past 4 years, the GOPe was constantly saving Obama from himself. Every time Obama screwed up, and he began to implode, the GOPe stepped in and gave Obama a “win,” thereby saving his butt.

If the GOPe had just stood firm one one issue, Obama would have blinked and collapsed. but, the GOPe would have none of it. They always came to Obama’s rescue.

“and they don’t cave on sequestration.”

I have been paying attention. The gop-e has caved to the bimbo on everything else. What would make you think that they won’t cave again?

It’s pretty hard for wimpy mortals to beat President Lucifer and his media devil dogs.
