Torched the house? We own the House and the Senate. Let’s talk after a new GOP POTUS is in. I want much more than we’ve gotten, but no FReeper has shown the way to do that in a realistic, achievable way. It’s ignorant to not recognize what’s good. We’re winning. Stop ignoring that.

I can't figure out a nice way to say this, so I'm just going to say it.

You're either woefully ignorant of the cultural/social wave that's battering the political establishment, or you're a kept member of that cabal.

"Winning"?

If you mean political races, yes, the GOP has racked up quite an impressive win/loss ratio over the last couple of elections, due to the base turning out in droves to unelect Democrats.

We've helped a lot of Republicans come to office, but what exactly have the people 'won' for their efforts on the national level? The lousy GOPe has done a great job of tidying up the quarters of their congressional houses, but what about the real fight they were sent to Washington to wage on our behalf?

Have they stopped Obama in any appreciable, measurable way? No, they have not, and to insinuate that they've done a damn thing to move the ball downfield, is straight up lying. The congressional Repukes have given up yardage to Obama on every single critical play. It's been one touchdown after another for the Muslim Marxist, and you know it.

I couldn't give a rat's ass about winning seats, if it doesn't translate into honest gains for freedom and liberty.

And people wonder why an insurgent candidate like Trump is eating the GOPe's lunch.

We’ve been losing liberty since Marbury, so it’ll take a long time to get it back. You get it back by holding on to the levers of power. In 24 states we’re doing that and changing policy. The best policy changes are those in which the people themselves become your allies see: Progressivism starting in the late 19th century in America.

Teddy started it, Wilson worked to make it policy, then Hoover kicked it into high gear just in time for FDR. Toss in Democrat Congresses that lasted for generations with Johnson’s Great Society, Nixon, Carter, Clinton and now Obama. Republicans in between helped little.

Now we have the chance to hold on for a generation in Congress. That’s where real incremental change is happening. Step by step and in a constitutional republic that’s the only way.
