“compassionate conservative” - RINO liberalism.

Early in W’s first term, he allowed “Ted-the-swimmer” to write the new Federal Education bill. That defined him as just another liberal to me.

When he began pushing amnesty and refused to build the wall, he forever defined himself as a traitor.

The HUSSEIN faction has been allied with the NAZI's for close to 100 years.

One of them is currently POTUS!.

Universal Suffrage be the fly in the ointment.

Uh, women?

I thought about that. Pairing Cruz with a conservative woman would be a very good idea. But IMHO that woman is not Palin. I just can't see an independent woman voting Cruz/Palin just because Palin is on the ticket. Her personality is just too powerful.

Independents who don't particularly like Palin won't be able to hold their nose and vote for her just because she's a woman. Just my two cents.

We let the Left inform our debates. They say Gov. Palin is an idiot, unpopular, divisive and shrill, so therefore we shrink away from her and search for a Kay Bailey Hutchison Ripon Republican to augment the ticket. It’s like they have a radio control to force us this way or that. Until we get beyond that we’ll keep picking Bushes, Romneys, McCains and Doles.

So popularity at Nutroots equals popularity with the general population.

This is exactly what I see. As a conservative I strive not to speculate on another’s motivations. I am not a mind reader or an arm chair psychologist.

I knew the spring of 2008 that he was a liar and fraud because I researched his back ground. NO ONE in the media bothered to do so because all had been threatened and their families threatened.

The biggest lie is that he is black. He isn’t - he is Indonesian. Democrats knew that the black population would vote for him based on that lie. He was born in 1957 in Indonesia, was one of six Jakarta street kids that Lolo Soetoro adopted BEFORE he went to university in Hawaii and met Stanley Ann Dunham Obama. Her little boy, Barak Hussein Obama, was adopted by Lolo and had an adoption BC in Hawaii stating that he was Lolo’s son and his new name was Barry Soetoro.

Unfortunately little Barry fell out of a mango tree in the Soetoro garden in Jakarta and severely injured himself. It was so bad that he walked with a permanent limp, according to his older foster sister, Lia Soetoro Soba.

According to relatives of Madelyn Payne Dunham who visited Hawaii in the mid-1970s, that little boy had passed away and the “boy” living with them had lost his mother in 1972.

This “boy” was known at Punahou as Barry Soetoro, foreign student from Indonesia. He even had a BC that backed up the name and birth.

The person we know as POTUS is legally known as Barry Soetoro and was naturalized a U.S. citizen in the mid-1980s after working for the CIA in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Our tax dollars, via the CIA, paid for his education at Punahou, Occidental College, and Columbia University. The reason the records are off-limits is because they are under the name Barry Soetoro foreign student from Indonesia.

Yet, there shouldn’t be anything surprising about Warren’s broad economic populist appeal.

I think Warren's biggest electoral vulnerability is her own damning words, in which she publicly claims to have created the looney, juvenile, business destroying, socially disruptive, disease-laded, out of control, intellectually bankrupt, philosophically incoherent, America-hating, unsanitary, disgusting, left-wing extremist temper-tantrum movement Occupy Wall Street:

“I created much of the intellectual foundation for what they do,” she says. “I support what they do.”

Conservatives need to endlessly tie her to Occupy Wall Street, recapping the horrific images of its appalling behavior:

VIDEO: Everyday Rebellion presents: Occupy Wall Street/Shut down Citibank, #S17

We let the Left inform our debates.

But more than that, leftist propaganda has brainwashed many folks in the center. Those folks have a negative opinion of Cruz, Palin, etc. without even knowing why.

And it infuriates me the the GOP establishment does nothing to push back. Look at the presidential debates in 2008 and 2012. All the so-called moderators were lefties. One, Gwen Ifill, had even written a fawning book about Obama! Yet no protest from anyone in the GOP.

The failures of liberals are CLEAR to those that are not completely brainwashed.

That is no doubt true...as far as it goes. But there is also a highly disturbing aspect to your argument: There are a helluva lot of Americans who ARE completely brainwashed.

How many threads would there be here if all we ever posted was WorldNutDaily, Canada Free Press, Patriot Post, the National Review, TWS and Townhall? What would we learn about what the Left is up to? I'm getting a little tired of justifying my article choices. If you think I'm a Bolshevik, FReepmail Jim and let him know.

You have hit on the most important political question of the past six years: why are Obama's records sealed?

Look, a person running for county commissioner couldn't get away with having his records sealed. Yet no one questions why Obama's records are sealed. No one asks why! Isn't anyone curious? It would have been a great question for McCain to bring up in 2008, or for Romney in 2012.

I don’t think so. The great majority of American voters are not brainwashed, they’re just waiting to see what each side will give them. They voted for Obama because they saw a somewhat moderate black man that could be transformational. What they got (and after attending a conference with some of these folks last week - yes, older, single women working for the government) was a tremendous disappointment. I’ve never seen a group of women like this (and many of you know the type) look up at the TV in the restaurant we ate lunch in and say, “OMG, not Obama again, would you turn the channel for g** sakes? I can’t stand the look of him!”

I didn’t ask for further elaboration, but I do know that with a combination of Cruz and Rand (yeah, I know I’ll get a lot of flak for this) that the GOP has the chance to pull away SCADS of voters from the Democrats. Young, old, female, etc. and if illegal immigration is portrayed as an invasion of black American jobs, who knows.

The problem is that the current GOPe are sitting on their hands doing JACK.

I don't think "African-Americans" will flock to the polls for Hitlery like they did for Obuma...particularly African-American men. I also don't think the youth-vote(60-37 for Obama)as a whole will be nearly as energized next time around.

Enforcing the laws of the land(tall order)would keep Hispanics as a growing but still negligible voter block for decades to come..."IF"...the GOP can project the right message/messenger to the voters AND actually do their jobs as legislators.

All that aside...the biggest threat for the GOP is(and will continue to be)...single/young white females...they are the fastest growing/largest demographic despite what the propaganda media tells us.

Hollywood/academia('rat "McCarthyism")has been and will continue to be the democrats 'rat factory.

Without an "affirmative action" type plan/demand for ideological balance there...'rats will rule for generations.

Liberal economic policies/consequences will mean nothing...because gov. can/will just borrow/print whatever it needs for whatever crisis it creates faces.

As it is with all liberal pundits, I honestly don’t know if he’s stupid or a liar. He’s so convincing in either role.

The Fake liar Indian princess...

What tribe has the name of your ancestor on its books.

Rockrr,

Yes! I had forgotten those remarks from Obama. I especially like the “back seat” comment.
