The Republican Party landscape is littered with the carcasses of failed strategies and this approach will also not succeed...

In another time those in the management of the IRS would have instinctively known that it would be unethical and morally wrong, never mind illegal, to target and leak confidential information about the political adversaries of the person occupying the White House. Particularly as that agency wields vast power over the American people and as such those that work there have been granted a unique responsibility and place in society. Today, however, pleasing the political hierarchy, whose directives they were following, in order to garner promotions or acceptance by their ideological peers is more important.
This nation is mired in a crisis. It is a lack of honor and integrity in the nation's ruling class and a plurality of the citizens that has brought about the economic and societal deterioration the nation is experiencing. The United States will continue this precipitous decline until this failing is reversed.
The Republican Party Establishment and the conservative movement must focus on and promote this easily understood cause of not only the ongoing scandals of Obama and the Democratic Party but of the nation's woes in general. As many national polls clearly indicate, a large majority of the American people still view character as a vital and necessary attribute in the nation's political leaders as well as the society as a whole. The time has come to make this a major issue and abandon the failed strategy of trying to buy off various demographic groups or offering a milder and cheaper version of liberalism or causing the eyes of the voters to glaze over with esoteric discussions about big versus small government or being intimidated by the now threadbare charges of racism or intolerance.

We can use the RICO law and others. Check comment# 31. Laws nave been broken. People need to go to jail. Hat tip to Liz!
I never underestimate the cowardice and incompetence of the RINO’s in charge. They love to snatch defeat from the sure jaws of victory.
All true, but very difficult to implement. You can point out that a thief lacks honor, but that’s not why he is arrested. We know the Democrat leadership is without honor. But if you’re a single Mom with four kids living in downtown Detroit, would you pay attention to honor? The points that they will pay attention to are:
1. There won’t be enough government money to give them any.
2. They can be physically harmed.
Tie these to the Democrats, and they are done.
And they do it as though the left will love them once they compromise.
Enter Marco Rubio,,, First we will secure the border and no people illegals will ever be able to collect welfare.
As of Monday that became add a lie, but the amnesty advertisment continues to run.
Note to the Honorable Senator Rubio::: When you lay down with dogs, you wake up with fleas.
You have to commend Harry Reed though, he ruined Rubios chances in 2016.
The Republican Senator, is beginning to look like McCain.
The main stream media makes Pravda ,,, look like Radio Free Europe.
Ooopsie. Too late...
Free Speech means you must listen to El Presidente
lolz
The GOP is called the Stupid Party for a reason. Their only principle is to have no principles and their only strategy is preemptive surrender. They did such a good job of replacing the Whigs that they’ve become the Whigs.
They’ll cave; it’s what they do best.
I never underestimate the cowardice and incompetence of the RINO’s in charge.
They can't/won't do anything about the problems, because they're just as much a part of them as the DemonRats, and just as corrupt in their own way.
No, what they'll do is "do a deal". That's what "bipartisan" means -- selling out the People to the 'Rats, in return for a few tax breaks for their Business Roundtable clients and bosses.
The RINOs know that if the Democrats remain in charge, they'll be wined and dined by those seeking to curry favor. They also know that if conservatives take over, they'll be recognized as obsolete. When RINOs undermine conservatives, they're not forfeiting a chance of victory. Victory for conservatives would mean defeat for RINOs, and they'll do anything to prevent it.
Until the GOP rids itself of the entrenched RINOs at the RNC and in congress and decides that becoming "Dimocratic Light" is not a winning strategy, they will continue to blow opportunities and grasp defeat from the jaws of victory.
