GOP Leader Priebus: “If They Want to Punch Us We’re Going to Punch Them Back With Brass Knuckles” (Video)

Jim Hoft

Here’s what Reince Priebus told Sean Hannity:

“I really think this president has a problem with the American dream. And, you know, I don’t think parents out there, Democrats and Republicans alike, are looking for the glass half empty America that Barack Obama wants to sell this country. That’s not what we are. So we’re going to be aggressive. So my view is if they want to punch us we’re going to punch them back with brass knuckles and that’s what we have to do… At the end of the day, the only things that are shovel ready around here are the words coming out of Barack Obama and Joe Biden’s mouth.“

Damn, words like that make me almost want to start giving to the RNC again.

Not I!

Words are cheap: Let's see some action first and then we can decide whether or not the Establishment RINO's deserve our support.

Color me skeptical!

Here is what I want to see from the RNC and Priebus:

b52-bomb

A little "Rolling Thunder" and some "Carpet Bombing!"

I hate the moderator choices, but you know what? Newt showed how Repubs can ju-jitsu that ant evoke both distrust of everything the media says and at the same time refocus the debate on your issues.

An RNC chair sounding tough? Who'd have thunk it?

The guess here is that Priebus was motivated to pump up the rhetoric a notch or two by the Obama campaign's ad about the steel worker's wife who died from cancer. Even "nice guys" can get worked up enough to say things out of character.

Seems as if the GOP may have learned a lesson or two from the passive McCain campaign four years ago.

Talk is cheap. When the RNC cleans it's own house first I might start to believe them. Use the 'knucks' on the House and Senate GOP leaders and weak sisters, leave them toothless and weeping on the floor, metaphorically speaking of course.

Yes, indeed, which is precisely one reason I like Darrell Issa. He takes action.

I share your concerns regarding Paul Ryan, and the RR team must first win the election, just like you addressed.

Right. Who cares what they say. Tough talk is just that. I would prefer silence and real action. This is a gimmick from a wimp. Results, Reince, are all that matter.

I hope he's serious, because if not they're going to lose this thing.

Thanks for posting.

We used to hear the phrase, “Don’t mess with Texas!

Used to? I hear it all the time.

Agree! It is great to see the GOP getting tough! Let the Marxists be tough with their lies, while the Republicans are tough right back with the truth!

The real problem in the House is the rule that lets the incumbents select the leader in the lame duck session following the election, thus short circuiting the voice of the electorate and hanging on to their power.

Remember the flush of victory after the 2010 elections followed by the let down of having Weeping John elected Speaker.

The GOP-e has got to go, and Weeping John HAS to be the sacrificial goat. If a conservative can’t beat him in the primary, we have to bite the bullet and vote dem in that race. We can afford to lose one house seat but we can’t afford to let the GOP-e hold the reins of power.

He needs to be gutted, skinned, roasted, and served up as an example to the rest of GOP-e.

We Will clear the decks of these treasonous bastards but it has to start now. The House Committee Chair positions in a two year cycle have to taken away from them.

The top of the GOP ticket is set. Don’t like it but it’s done. The efforts have to be directed to holding the House while clearin as much deadwood as safely possible, and striving for gains in the Senate.

But Boehner MUST GO!

Wow. That graphic to me shows a new “Iron Brigade”, 150 years later.

On, Wisconsin!

Remember, this was the same guy that called Harry Reid a “dirty liar.” Not just a liar, but a “DIRTY” liar! And when George Stephanopolis tried to get him to take it back, he refused to do so!

Finally, a pubbie spokesman who’s got a pair.
