While I agree in principal with your assessment, there will be some stories the media won’t be able to sweep under the rug.
For example, Fiat IS looking to move Chrysler to Italy to gin up their European bottom line and are only awaiting how the Italian government will handle the tax situation. Jeep is starting production in China because it’s a hot item there.
GM is losing market share quickly and will be back with their hand out shortly. Also, I found recently that Cadillac is moving the production of the CTS and other models to China because of demand. This is in addition to some of the R&D facilities that were once in Detroit. How is the media going to spin the massive layoffs that will occur when this happens?
Further, there is a little thing called sequester that is looming on the horizon. O promised the defense contractors that he would pay any associated legal bills if they didn’t make the required 90 day notification of layoffs. This will impact over 200K workers. Since we still control the House, I don’t see how he’s going to get the money to bail out his buddies.
The Bush tax cuts expire in less than 60 days and when people see even less money in their checks, increased fuel prices and unemployment, the masses may start to wise up.
Sometimes it takes a bitter pill to cure the patient.
Benghazi is not going to go away. Say what you will, but there were 4 Americans killed while Obama slept. There will be some outlets whether in the new media or possibly even Fox that will eventually get to the bottom of that story.
The biggest fear that Obama should have right now is the survivors of Sandy. He’s had his photo op with Christie and they still have no water, electricity, heat, or homes. Most of these people want the goverment cheese and when they find out there isn’t going to be any, they will turn on him in a minute.
Obama has written checks with his mouth that his a$$ can’t cash.
Yes, we will have to suffer through at least 2 years of the media fawning over him, but we have some depth on the bench and it’s time we make our voices heard to the leadership that going along to get along is no longer acceptable.
There is a way.
We support Breitbart, Michelle Malkin and others who are true voices of conservatism. We back the Allen West’s and Mia Love’s, and yes, Paul Ryan to make them the face of conservatism. We primary the RINO’s that have become too “comfortable” in their beltway lifestyle.
Boehner needs to go. McConnell also. There will be no compromise. Dingy Harry said he wouldn’t work with Romney...Fine...we won’t work with Obama. Since the spending starts in the House, we set the agenda. We pass the budget, start true entitlement reform, de-fund Obamacare, force the Dem’s to take a position and then if the government shuts down, we control the message.
Look, I’m tired of us always being the gentlemen. Everytime we “reach across the aisle” we get burned. Fine. it’s time for the “have” to serve notice on the “have-nots” that unless they decide to contribute, they get what they deserve...nothing.
I am angry. I will no longer sit silently on the sidelines. If it takes camping out in my Congressman’s office to make sure we start adopting a true conservative agenda, then that’s what I’ll do. If we have to abandon the GOP for a third-party, fine.
This is still the greatest country on earth. Our founding fathers were patriots who fought a stronger enemy with skill, cunning and courage. They didn’t win every battle, but they won the war. I’m not ready to cede my countries heritage to this enemy, I am ready to fight again. Surely, we owe our founders that much.
I'm thinking this is right. The Republican House was elected by the same electorate last night that voted for Obama as president, so no one can claim they are illegitimate somehow -- the electoral clearly expected that this would be a possible outcome, and chose it.
They did not vote to have a Republican House on some strange assumption that they would just vote to agree with Obama on everything.
I love your optimism, but in in my 50+ years, there's been only 1 conservative that I can think of who was able to do this effectively - Reagan.
What used to be the political left is now considered a moderate Republican. We now have well over 50 % of people living off of taxpayer largess to some degree, unfunded mandates are upwards of $130 to $150 trillion before inflation, and our schools are churning out droves of useful idiots. This cannot be fixed by electing a few articulate conservatives. It must be rebooted.
We live in a house of cards and a Cat 5 hurricane is barreling toward us... I wish I was wrong, but I'm not.
Question: does Italy or China have auto labor Unions? GM's problems have never been solved...Unions and shoddy work for starters.
Know how to contact your elected...keep a paper trail so spend to fax or write letters, keeping them short and to the point. The only person I ever heard during these last few months even mention the United States Constitution was Sarah Palin....
