Enough With the 'War' Rhetoric: According to the GOP, Obama is waging a war on everything.

Yeah, for instance, they have Europe convinced that the Tea Party is some sinister armed Neo-Nazi militia group hell-bent on obstructing everything Obama proposes, reinstating Jim Crow, if not chattel slavery, putting women back in the kitchen (barefoot & pregnant) and consigning seniors to the graveyard.

All I am saying is practice makes perfect.

If you have run before, you have a huge advantage over someone who has not.

Palin in 2008 is a good example. There was a lot of talent but some really bad rookie mistakes that was the result of inexperience.

My list of non rookies who should be favored are Romney, Ryan, Santorum and Bush and maybe Palin.

Christie is just another rookie.

But Christie running and doing well would set him up for 2020. And the same applies to Cruz, Rubio and Rand Paul.

Next would be Rick Snatorum who is probably better than the last couple of “next” candidates. I voted for him last time around but am hoping that none of the former candidates run this time around.

Ted Kennedy caused one of the first fatalities in the War on Women.

I'll take these numbers as given, but IMO she is drawing the wrong conclusions: By continuing to employ a war-first strategy, Republicans continue to lose: A recent ABC News/Washington Post poll revealed that only 25 percent of Americans approve of Republicans in Congress; 71 percent disapprove. Democrats and the president score much higher.

Republicans in Congress are held in such low regard because they, as a group, do not seem to hold or act on conservative principles. The Dems and the Prez are totalitarians in thought, word, and deed.

Tea party Republicans are viewed as “contributing to the unpopular partisan conflict in Washington rather than remedying it.”

That's what Tea Party voters want to see -- less Republican capitulation and cave-in, not more.

Perhaps the most damaging of these wars is the Republicans’ War on Republicans. The root of this Republican civil war is the tea party’s core belief that compromise is capitulation, heresy and betrayal.

Let the damage -- to RINO electability, to a tradition of Republican cave-ins on the big issues, to the continuing betrayal of conservatives and, really, all Americans on crony capitalism, pork barrel spending, the expansion of the welfare state and the nanny state -- not just grow but lay waste to the status quo.

In the aftermath of the Newtown, Conn., massacre of 20 children and six adults, almost nine out of 10 Americans favored immediate gun control legislation.

This is a flat out lie, right?

Wait, there's more? Well ok:

This war mentality literally shut down our government at the end of last year and it continues to thwart needed federal action on such important matters as immigration reform, infrastructure investment, education and job creation.

Good. These are more precisely described as "amnesty", "pork barrel spending", and "payback to teachers unions and government unions, and more pork barrel spending."

eight in 10 Americans were opposed to the government shutdown, yet Republican congressmen disregarded their voices.

Uh huh. All of these are true and a matter of public record. Pick your favorite as a rebuttal:
- The government shut down because Democrat Senators would not give the American people the same one-year waiver that Obama had already (lawlessly) given specific unions, specific businesses, and in fact the same waiver that Obama had lawlessly given to all businesses.
- The government shut down because Democrat Senators would not subject themselves to the same dictates of Obamacare that they had forced on the American people.

Of course she’s drawing the wrong conclusions. It’s deliberate. She’s a rodent operative and leftist hack.

“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win,” said Chinese general Sun Tzu in his famous "The Art of War."

Let's help Tamara Holder (aka liberal idiot, sorry for the redundant terms).

Let's help her or him or it put Sun Tzu's comment into proper context:

> “Victorious warriors win first and then go to war,..."

Yes, this applies to conservative Tea Party Americans who will win and take back the title to represent the GOP and set its message and philosophy, and then move on to win in the general.

> "...while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win..."

Yes, this describes the GOP establishment, the GOP elite, the GOPe. The war they wage is a war on the truth as they will say anything to deceive the base and grassroots, and then go on to lose for the base while winning the perks and graft for themselves inside the Beltway.

Well not a war on everything, just Truth, Justice and the American Way! His cry must be “this is a job for Super Imam!”
