Between 12 and 20??
That's a heck of a margin for error.
16 +/-4
I have held to 2 principles:
Sitting out an election in protest is a wasted vote.
Change must come from within the party.
I am rethinking both.
great post
7. Maintain current system of personal income tax. No import tariffs, ever.
If Republican voters wanted a Congress which would accede to the objectives of theOne, they would have voted for democrat candidates, who could be counted on to offer only supportive legislation. The fact that a surge in democrat opponents are being sworn in is evidence enough that voters wanted everything EXCEPT cooperation with theOne. The in-crowd in DC is a parasite on America.
F the grassroots that put them there.
I'd rather support the "occupy pigs" than these sticking b@stards.
Waiting for the media to rebuke the far left extremists in government and in the streets.
The Communists at the anti-war rallies, the Communists at the Occupy protests, the Communists at the Ferguson riots...
They don’t call them Propagandico for nothing.
2nd, Mission: Save John Boehner
Strategy: Demonize right-wing nutcases to put backbone into the linguini GOP-e.
Action: "For years, Boehner has had to stroke the egos of his House Republican Conference’s far-right fringe, the hardline conservatives who had an outsized voice in every legislative debate and often dragged the entire party with them, even when he implored them to ease up."
Question: If the right-wing fringe is so right-wing fringy, how have they had that out-sized influence on the GOP-e to gum up the works so much and prevent much good work from being accomplished?
Answer: The right-wing fringe isn't so fringy as they like to believe, it's at least 60% of the voters who vote for the GOP and vote in such numbers as to crush the Democrats.
Objective: "Yet the GOP leadership thinks that Boehner’s almost-certain victory, plus the biggest House Republican majority in decades, gives him the legislative latitude he’s desperately sought since 2010."
Boehner has desperately wanted legislative latitude for years, which is another way of saying that Boehner has desperately sought personal power for years. What does legislative latitude mean? Latitude to do what? Boehner has given us no idea of what his agenda is, other than to crush the Tea Party (at least 60% of his voting base, go figure). The GOP-e official strategy in the last election was to say nothing. The only political party on the planet, where not speaking to voters is the preferred strategy. Apparently, the latitude is needed to exact even more of Obama's agenda than he already has.
The problem for the brainless GOP-e, is that if they succeed, they will destroy the GOP. Caddell's say up to a third of GOP voters are attached to the GOP by a thread. The GOP natives are ready to bolt at the next betrayal. Immigration "reform" would do it.
It works both ways. Those fake conservatives who vote for Bonehead
will also have a possibility of getting purged or Cantored themselves.
Being Politico’s boy ought to scare the hell out of every FR viewing this posting cycle.
Obama is a hardliner. Did they state who is a hardliner in the story?
