I wish I had those three minutes of my life back after reading that crap.
If I read that right, the author wants Obama to campaign instead of govern for the next three years?
the gop had better get their act together and fast or this will happen. maybe they want this to happen?
Final proof (if any more proof were needed), that David Brooks is indded a stark raving, lunatic.
Quick, bring on the men in long white coats.
David Brooks, so in love with Obama that he just cant help himself. They both had wet dreams reading Nebur, the well known German philosopher, dont ya know.
The Teas already fell for it. We must support conservatism not parties!
Ah yes. Perot initiated the era of Democrat Rule. Perot could never be elected yet managed to convince frustrated people that the Reform Party was viable. Clinton won a plurality of the public in his first run. Smart move by the Obambots to divide the non-left voters. Spin the Tea Party; cultivate division with Astroturf; obfuscate a Republican message.
First, who is the “us” they are dividing? If it’s a reference to Republicans vs. Tea Party Conservatives, they are already quite divided in general. Republicans need to decide if they will be Conservative or not.
On the other hand, it only takes a few hotheads like I’ve seen on other threads that want to throw Sarah Palin under the bus for campaigning for McCain to sink our efforts before we even get started good.
Allow for some disagreements and differences, without compromising your pivotal values. The principles are the key, but insisting on perfect conformity will short circuit all we want to accomplish. The Leftists KNOW this.
Blah blah blah. He say ‘us’ like there is some commonality between RINOs/Republicarats and conservatives. Not hardly.
This anything but Clinton mantra that the GOP has been spouting for 20+ years to scare the rank-n-file is one of the reasons we are now in the shape we are and one of the reasons we end up with GW and MCCain.
Who is this goofy jackass?
So are all of you who are saying “This could never happen” also going to say that you would NOT vote for an 3rd party Palin candidacy over a GOP Romney candidacy in November of 2012?
I got a better idea. How about the Republicans actually campaign for the votes from these ticked off voters who are tired of the never ending specter of amnesty, of ever increasing size, scope and power of the federal government, who are tired of working half of every day simply to pay for government employees and their pet projects?
Rather than chiding this mythical Ross Perot, how about stealing their thunder, gather up those votes hanging in the wind, and actually take a leadership role in the political debate?
But no, we must set out the trenches, put up the stockade, lest people wander away from the big tent and 'give it to the liberals.'
Beware Beck.
Once upon a time there were a whole bunch of these guys who considered themselves patriots—but they were radical as hell.
They pushed the idea that the status quo wasn’t acceptable and all signed a document that began, “When in the course of human events...
And another radical called forth the people’s action with...The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
Another said, “you have a Republic, if you can keept it.”
So if the guy is out there who can motivate the people to throw the rascals out, God bless him and keep him safe against puling wimps like David Brooks
