Noticed right off the bat that David Gregory keeps substitution the words cuts to “entitlement programs [like Social Security]” for cuts to “government spending”.

Sequestration is supposed to affect “government spending” but the Dems and Media and RINOs are trying to equate cuts to Social Security with cuts to government spending.

How stupid they think we all are.

Did Jordan just say that Van Hollen lives in a “Fact Free Zone”?

I wasn’t paying attention, and just heard that phrase, which I like very much.

FNS

Van Hollen is a slickster. He knows how to turn phrases. He has managed to put Jim Jordan on the defensive, making Jordan sound like a whiner.

When given the chance to speak, Jordan makes his case.

Van Hollen counters that Obama’s budget is the greatest thing since sliced butter because Dems don’t want to take from the middle class Social Security/Medicare crowd to further enrich millionaires.

[Pubbies just don’t know how to answer the Dems. The Dems have a slick message and they manage to sell it in a way that a majority believe. The Pubbies try to counter but they do no have an effective counter message that they can make believeable.]

Van Hollen again accuses Jordan of not having his facts straight.

Asks Jordan if he supports the Simpson Bowles recommendation and accuses him of only supporting the cuts.

Jordan fires back that they already got the revenue and they haven’t cut a dime out of the Trillions in spending.

Van Hollen accuses FNS of being a “fact free zone”

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.


Is this the beginning of the co-opting of yet another conservative by the Sunday morning talk show mafia?

Frankly, when I see “our” people start hanging around with DNC Dave and Chris (don’t call me Mike) Wallace and the like I get the heebie jeebies.

Wasn’t it decades ago that John McChurian himself was a “conservative” voice on Meet the Press?

Think of Cruz as a block of wood and the Sunday morning Marxist hosts whittlers just taking a piece here and a piece there and, in the end, presto! (albeit ten years later), you’ve got a sell-out RINO all trimmed and pointed and ready to cave in on whatever issue you got out there.

We ran our campaigns way outside the mainstream and since we were amateurs who had no preconceived bias we were able to look at elections in a new way. We never followed the established formula which was followed with certain expectations or rules we ran it from the gut. What we have found is the secularists are wrong and have held the Party down when people are looking for real people with common sense solutions. Secularists have no answers only the same old tired clichés the Dems have while trying to conquer the middle. Conservatives have as good or better chance of being elected if they run their campaigns in a new and more targeted grassroots method. The media needs to be ignored since our data has shown the media has no affect on the vote and can only hurt you chances with your base by appeasing them.

I am sorry, but I do not see any specific action steps in here anywhere. Ignore the media? OK, but replace it with what? Don’t follow the old rules for campaigning? OK, what do you do instead? Forget commercials? OK, but do what instead?What if everything we know about elections is wrong? Yeah what if? What then?

“Fact Free Zone”

I thought Van Hollen said it regarding FNS.

TEApublican Senator Ted Cruz is up: explaining is opposition to RINO Nebraskan Chuck Hagel for Sec Def.

Racer, thank you for your courage to speak the truth. Unless you have God in your life you are living an empty existence. I could have never survived my financial trials without faith in God to carry me through.

I too went through the One Step program. Step towards God and he will cure your addiction.

Pray for America

By intent, not accident. They muddle the issues by design. Remember, THEY aim toward 'low information voters' who are not going to do much further investigation or research. If they create enough confusion, THEIR voters just accept that they are working in the best interest of their voters. It worked in 2012.

[Will it continue to work in to 2014? If so, the Pubbies are sunk, if they cannot find a way to get their message out. The GOP/Republicans have a massive communication problem and they seem clueless to know how to address it.]

FNS Host just asked Ted Cruz what will prevent him from becoming a spineless jellyfish.

Did he answer honestly and say “Nothing.”—?? Or is he practicing his politics today?

I’m glad I missed the Van Hollen segment on FNS. My day will be much better.

As soon as the n00bies cross the Potomac, they become infected with Potomac fever. The longer they are in Washington, the worse it becomes. Few are ever immune; most succumb to it partially or wholly over time.

The only plausible antidote seems to be term limits. But they fight those because those threaten their very livelihood.

What then? We have an entire program then. It all centers around GOTV but first you have to give them something to vote for. The GOTV is targeting the Repubs and get them to vote in bigger numbers as well as the Independents and leave the Dems alone.

Here let me simplify the question for them:

How much of the current $16 Trillion debt of the United States is due to Social Security???

Answer:

None of it. It’s the only program that is still in the black despite continual raids on it by the government spending of DC politicians .

Pelosi’s balls are huge compared to McConnell.

You are right on. Piglosi has a giant pair and proved it when she jammed down Obamacare in the dead of Christmas night when the MAJORITY OF AMERICA was against it. Never forget her famous saying "You have to pass the bill to find out what is in it". This is the new norm for Congress.

She is 100 times as effective than anyone in the GOP.

Don't misread my comment - I hate her and her RAT party, but I hate "get along" RINOS even more.

What if a politician actually told the truth and said SS needs to be fixed and cuts have to be made? We have to raise the age and lower the benefits as well as stop raiding it.

What if everything we know about politics is wrong and it isn’t the turd rail. When Romney was talking about cutting Medicare and SS he was winning, when he became a jellyfish he lost because nobody had a reason to vote for him.

Kristol whines that Obama is spending his time attacking and trying to divide the Republicans in the House.

[Duh! What do you expect from a community organizer/Chicago thug?]

Kristol thinks Obama should be taking the high road.

[Duh! That ‘high road’ really helped McCain in 2008 and Romney in 2012. It is sad. The Pubbies are so clueless that they don’t know what hit them and they still don’t know what to do.]

This is way more true than you can even imagine—I worked there more than 20 years as a dicey-at-best member in bad standing of the lamestream media and the FIRST thing they do there is BUY YOUR SOUL lock, stock and barrel—and then they go for the rest of it.

When I got out (well, was forced out) it was exactly like a drowning man coming up for air in an action flic. I crashed through the water line and began sucking up more oxygen than I could process.

Other than that, the whole thing was a great experience. Nothing really rivals being marginalized, ostracized, exiled to the lower realm...

I would tell you what I would DO about Washington if it was up to me but ....

Well.

Term limits? Sure. Limit all the elected officials to zero days in office and zero power.

Bray is back,let the New Year begin!

Defeating the Godless with God is indeed a genius idea whose time has come.

Combine the New Media here with talk radio,the resto f the bologosphere a few nexpares and tv nets, door to door communication,common sense and a firm belief in God and we have a sure winner:

What if money and commercials mean nothing in a campaign and all of our formulas are completely wrong? What if the print media is ignored by the voters and the candidates don’t need to cater to it? This is what our data is pointing towards.

In addition the Marxist/Islamic jihad against Christianity are thwarted before the process gets a good start. The forces of obamba,jarrett, axelrod, soros will suffer a bitter defeat. Once again bray has pointed out how basic Christian values will rule the day and are seldom defeated in any type of fair debate/race/election.
