Tea Party grows.

The income tax is short-lived. Consumption tax is going to come.

Buchanan, you pot-banging creep.

You are the the Cindy Sheehan of the Republican Party.

You are the Tim Burton movie of the American Dream.

Ugh.

Buchanan is anti-semitic. Farrakhan praised him for some of the hateful things he said about Israel.

slight change, adding one word (underlined).

Buchanan, you miserable pot-banging creep.

You are the the Cindy Sheehan of the Republican Party.

You are the Tim Burton movie of the American Dream.

Ugh.

It will eventually be like S Africa where whites are overwhelmingly for 1 party while the majority blacks are on the other.

Buchanan:

In a 1990 column for the New York Post, Buchanan defended convicted Nazi war criminal Ivan Demjanjuk (whom he later compared to Jesus Christ) against charges from Holocaust survivors that he was guilty of murder by accusing the survivors of misremembering all of it: “This so-called ‘Holocaust Survivor Syndrome’ involves ‘group fantasies of martyrdom and heroics.’ Reportedly, half of the 20,000 survivor testimonies in Yad Vashem memorial in Jerusalem are considered ‘unreliable,’ not to be used in trials[…]The problem is: Diesel engines do not emit enough carbon monoxide to kill anybody.”
Buchanan actually said Hitler was an individual of “great courage.” That’s just one of the quotes that the Anti-Defamation League attributes to Buchanan in their compendium of offensive remarks from Buchanan over the years. In 1977, he qualified his labeling of Hitler as racist and anti-semitic by adding that “he was also an individual of great courage, a soldier’s soldier in the Great War, a leader steeped in the history of Europe, who possessed oratorical powers that could awe even those who despised him[…]His genius was an intuitive sense of the mushiness, the character flaws, the weakness masquerading as morality that was in the hearts of the statesmen who stood in his path.”

“Since 1928, only Dwight Eisenhower and George W. Bush have won the presidency while capturing both houses of Congress for the GOP.”

Since 1928, the Republicans have not won the Presidency without having a Nixon or a Bush somewhere at the top of the ticket.

You mean the GOP that might not even stand up and fight the contraceptive mandate and religious freedom??

Already is for anything conservative

Buchanan also thinks Pearl Harbor was our fault for screwing over the poor Japanese.

“In California, GOP Fights Steep Decline,”

In California, Californians Fight Steep Decline of the state.

So, who's the biggest loser there?

Certainly, not the Californians. In fact, Californians are leaving in droves.

(Problem is, they remain liberal wherever they go, bringing their decrepit politics with them, and damaging the new areas where they settle.)

This entire scenario is disheartening, to say the least. Talking with my convert-”Catholic” sister, married for 28 years, mother of three sons... She took an on-line poll to see which Presidential candidate most represents her views... The “Green” candidate popped up first, then our “usurper-in-chief”, then Mitt Romney... Her question to me was “where are all the moderates?” She stated, “All politicians are either way left-wing or are religious fanatics to the right!”! Obviously, to me for many years, we are in TOTAL disagreement politically... Although this conversation solidified our “diversity”, we DO AGREE: “WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE WITH COMMON SENSE?!”

The GOP haphazardly outsourced our manufacturing, and continued it until we almost do not make anything anymore.

With that, an ever-growing portion of our electorate: Votes democrat. More all the time.

We have one or two more chances to turn things around. Romney will need to address this first thing.

No more excuses.

The GOP gave us the highest corporate tax rate on Earth?

Because that is not going to help manufacturing in this country one bit.

America is on a long and steady slope toward socialist anarchy and it can not be turned around. I’ll be long gone when the SHTF but hit the fan it will at some point. There is just no avoiding it. Teach your children well because some future generation will be the one to bear the brunt and only the strong, the prepared and the street smart will survive.

Well then... we shall part ways again... and if it comes to that... it will happen this time. We may not end up being 50 States but we will be America. We will wall up the rest and let them eat one another.

We need:

1) Tariffs
2) Lower taxes
3) Jobs

This means more people working, and fewer people buying things.

I takes a train-wreck like the Obamafraud to get whites on the stick - people are fed up with the clowns on the Hill. GOP takes both Houses and the White Hut.
