When Romney was ahead in the polls {Gallup, Rasmussen} by 5 to 6%, the democrat strategists showed no concern. I don't know how many times that I heard "Mumbles" Beckel brag that the democrat "ground game" was so superior they would squash Romney. Romney had absolutely no chance of defeating Obama. Why were they so positive of Romney's defeat? Could it be that Beckel and his cohorts already new of the massive voter fraud already in place in every battleground state?
Of course, the answer is YES. The next question is, what are the Republicans and all patriotic Americans going to do about it?
If the answer is "nothing", America is indeed well on the path to extinction. We cannot allow our highest office in the land to become captive to Chicago Ward politics.
This post is written in anger and frustration.
Angry that we continue to follow the Republican Party’s elite ignorance. A party that continues to pull defeat from the jaws of victory characterized by pompous fools who fulfill the sterotype built by the left.
Frustrated that the reality of politics is this: There will be no third party capable of competing with the coalition constructed by the dems. As a result, true conservatives MUST take steps to irradicate the ignorance of the Republican Party while still adhering to the core values of our forefathers (beliefs that I discovered are considered extreme by over half of my countrymen last night, BTW).
I have no solve for exactly how to accomplish this. Only advice based on a long military career in several foreign lands for how to defeat the dems once this is accomplished.
This thought process is based on the concept of irregular warfare with twists thrown in here and there for good measure.
With that, I provide the following advice for the good of the order.
LEADERSHIP: The old crew has proven either incompotent or outdated. McConnell and Boerner must go. They represent a failed plan to defend and resist without clearly explaining their position. They are content with looking like the bad guys and face public scorn when they don’t realize how important it is to manipulate a clearly left leaning MSM. They represent the failure of the last four years to our own and obstructionists to the opposition. We’ve got to show a new face to the nation. That is the genesis of rebuilding this movement. Ryan or Cantor in the House, Rubio or Demint in the Senate.
They represent a change in a party that has been beaten soundly in the last two elections by a charlatan and his traveling circus. A fresh choice in leadership represents change you can TRULY beleive in from every angle.
GROUND GAME: It is IMPERATIVE to develop and foster an intricate ground game. It requires a MICRO-ANALYSIS of every county, every city, and every early and absentee ballot by demographic to find how how, why, and with what method they voted. Give it to the dems on their “community organizing” machine. We don’t need to reinvent that model. we MUST develop our own.
It will require an insurgent effort at the ground level. An infiltration into dem areas that we identify are weak or vulnerable to start cutting in to the blue.
This isn’t as difficult as it sounds. It requires a patient and immediate effort that starts with the post election analysis.
The COIN (insurgeny/counterinsurgency)effort would include the identification of these areas, the inflitration of the areas through churches and charitable organizations AND PARTICULARLY THROUGH EDUCATION.
I’m not talking about traditional public schools and universities. I’m talking about the new way to educate - the online universities, the trade schools and nightschools. Corporate allies need to invest and educate with the ideals of economic and fiscal conservatism.
The RNC needs to lead and develop this effort. A novice like me can see that there is a disconnect between the voting habits of catholic-dominated hispanics and baptist blacks and their actual stated values. That disconnect can be exploited if it is done slowly, deliberately, and effectively.
INFORMATION WARFARE: We are ATROCIOUS AT THIS. Dems get a simple message out early and often. They poison the well and we are left to change minds rather than get the initial impression right from jump. We constantly play defense and think we are sooooo clever when dems (as they ALWAYS do) do something stupid or illegal.
We ABSOLUTELY MUST be proactive. We must attack at EVERY OPPORTUNITY then add each fail of the dems to a trend and theme. These themes must be simple, tailored, and repetitively broadcast to each target demographic.
We must look out beyond the 5 and 10 meter targets. We’ve got to effectively interpret what the dem message is on the horizon and confront it at all levels - from the national MSM level filtering directly down to the target group level. Even I can see what the talking points of the upcoming week are by watching the Sunday talking head programs. Defense is unacceptable. Attack, attack, attack.
This is only one part of an overall information operation plan that is constant in a simple party message and what it means to each target group.
WE DON’T DO THAT WELL. WHY NOT?
I find it unbelievable that Obama has hijacked the reputation and imagery of the Party of Lincoln. COIN operations involve a very in depth understanding of cultural idocyncracies and how best to exploit them to our advantage. It’s not a “wool-over-the-eyes” approach or a “free shit” approach like the dems sell. THAT ALWAYS COMES UP SHORT.
It’s a sell based on how it effects each target group and what it means to them. If it’s done right, I am CONFIDENT that the tenets of conservatism sell themselves.
In Civil Miltary Operations, assistance in areas that seem unrelated builds trust in the agency. Granted, there’s a fine line between assistance and the giving of free shit but, the special operations forces walk that line well. It can be done. Community outreach in areas that we identify, in ways that we haven’t before can build a larger tent without sacrificing our beliefs.
The military has been doing this in third world countries for years. We’ve been more successful in some areas, less successful in others. In the United States third world strongholds of the Democratic Party,I am confident that it can be done.
This is, by far, not the only avenue we’ve got to pursue in order to turn the tide.
But, if we are going to war, the RNC must look to the military to rediscover and reorganize. The number-crunching beancounters have their place in the organization but, on their best days, they can only identify who will and won’t vote Republican.
This is a “Hearts and Minds” effort.
It requires a new way to think about the political battlefield.
Rangers Lead the Way.
Good post...some food for thought tho..
Listening to descriptions of how “Democrats got out their ground game” with “superior ability to bring those to the polls who normally would never go” by the commentators on Fox election night..made me realize..what they actually have done is track names that HAVE NOT VOTED IN MANY, MANY elections cycles....and vote them.
A well-funded project, county-by-county..to examine the names signed in at at the polls..and going out to find those individuals..you’ll find they were never physically at he polls..or they themselves never filled out the absentee ballot....or their names in the death registers.
the core of our challenge is to clean up the precincts.
We are continuing to give permission for our own dienfranchisement by not doing so.
Not to undermine Military Cop’s posting, but I have an additional theory, based entirely on gut, with no proof whatsoever: The Pollsters were paid by DNC to show Romney ahead so he wouldn’t campaign harder, and would campaign in states where he was likely to loose.
Sun Tzu taught to encourage your opponent waste his efforts and to mislead him to thinking he has the upper hand, then let him waste his energies for nothing.
When Bush had office 2000-2007 and we had 110% turnout in Philly and open fraud in St. Louis and Chicago , Miami has always been as fraudulent as Chicago ... What did he do? Did we prosecute everyone involved? Anyone involved?
Illinois could easily be republican territory as could Ohio , PA and Florida should be locked up if we prosecute 10-20,000 NYers that vote in both places illegally... putting grandma Smith in jail for 10-20 for a felony works for me.
We need to get loud about the fraud that is out in the open and demand a fix... I’ll go to jail for civil disobedience if need be..
We either clean up the voter lists and legitimize the voting process or we can forget about ever winning another election. And we MUST get the military voting problem straightened out. What an insult to our troops.
The GOP internal polls had to count for something. I believe Romney was confident because of what his own polling units were showing.
Its anecdotal, but I’ve been told that part of their ground game was to have people vote early and then go to their polling places and stand in line, keeping the line artificially large to discourage others from voting on lunch hours and immediately after work.
This was the reason Michelle Obama was out telling everyone to not let anyone push you out of line. Interesting thought and not technically illegal.
Well there are a couple of things at work here:
Gallup and Rasmussen failed to poll a major dim voter group - dead people and they failed to predict how many GOP votes would be erased. changed or removed.
How the Democrats get out the vote? Control the voting machines. If your guys are in charge of voting machines you can make your turn out any number you need!!!! Stop the early voting, Stop provisional ballots, and by all means if the counting machine can’t read the ballot it is garbage!!! No people looking at ballots trying to determine how the voter wanted to vote... Also verify the status of the voter before he votes!!!
Very good analysis. Very good plan.
Listening to descriptions of how “Democrats got out their ground game” with “superior ability to bring those to the polls who normally would never go”
*********************************************
That’s a “polite” way of saying they go into the assisted living/retirement/rehab/alzheimers care centers with absentee ballots prefilled for Obama and get people that cannot even tell you their names most days to sign the ballots presented.
Their “ground game” is MUCH better in urban areas where it is easy to get “Holders people” to ride a bus/train from one polling station to the next...
I’ve never been for a national id but this requires it to ensure one person one vote.
Hmm...You just made me think of the scam perpetrated on the old folks in “Chinatown.”
The only strategy that wins is one fought on multiple fronts. I beleive the Hearts and Minds approach is one of those but, a very important part.
That’s part of the problem with the RNC, they think in terms of a singular plan of attack. They need to assault on all fronts. They need a detailed and complete plan from January of 2013 to election day.
Pouting and wringing hands and singing the “game over” death knell is wasted effort and does nothing to turn the tide....
AND THE TIDE CAN BE TURNED!
How in the hell can so many people fall for the checkmate attitude when TWO SHORT YEARS AGO, conservatives had the dems on the ropes???
RANGER UP, BOYS AND GIRLS.
KNOCK OFF THE PITY PARTY, MOVE OUT AND DRAW FIRE.
We also need ALL states that have Republican legislatures to pass bills ENFORCING ID at the polls. It needs to be the first piece of legislation in EVERY Republican-lead state. This would allow plenty of time for them to frame legislation that is “turnover proof”.
Pennsylvania...the state I’m in...has the law, but were told not to enforce it this election. Wonder how those Philly areas would have turned out if they were required to show ID.
“The GOP internal polls had to count for something. I believe Romney was confident because of what his own polling units were showing.”
He believed what he wanted to believe. You can’t just pick 2 good polls and ignore everything else out there.
If you pay attention when democrats talk about who votes and how, the words "voter suppression" are always bandied about.
Loose translation, everyone should vote if they are voting democrat, dead or alive, citizen or illegal.
What is the logical course of action for any freedom loving peoples who have been the victims of a coup?
And we MUST get the military voting problem straightened out. What an insult to our troops.
*************************************
This has been a MAJOR problem since at least 2000 ... I can’t see why we can’t have simple rules regarding the prompt delivery to the troops and from the troops back to their polling places...and maybe a mandatory offering of a absentee ballot request to all troops ..
ABSENTEE BALLOTS MUST BE COUNTED PRIOR TO THE ELECTION and not afterwards after a winner has been announced... with the vote totals to be revealed at the same time as the election day polling.
I understand the anger and frustration but your post is based on absolutely nothing but “gut”. You are flailing out for someone to do something based on your supposed ability to read beckel’s mind. we need evidence and specifics.
