“The hardest thing the GOP has to do about this is to behave as if it ISN’T what they wanted.”

They aren’t on our side. They couldn’t lose this much by accident.

Jacking up the language and getting lazy with the rules
can only lead to mainstream faggotry, gay marriage,
removal of the Confederate Battle Flag, amnesty,
reality shows and the wholesale decline of civilization.

Oh, wait.. too late.

“Today we lost the Senate and Presidency in ‘16.
We will be very lucky to hold the House.”

Does it matter?

Not by accident. But definitely by incompetence.

They just don’t understand the other side, which is rooted in the concept that the issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution. The last Republican who really “got” that, and tried to apply it to OUR tactics, was Lee Atwater.

Consider this: say I supported gay marriage. Just with the caveat that I believe that people of religious conscience and religious institutions should not be compelled to take part in such marriage ceremonies against their faith and beliefs.

This morning the Progs would have, mostly, considered me a valuable ally.

As of this afternoon they consider me a homophobic and extremist enemy.

THAT is the nature of the Progressive Movement. Their goal is not to win the good fight for their issues: it’s to drive any opposition into extinction. As Atilla the Hun put it: “Its not enough that I win, everyone else must lose.”

The minute people start getting that, formulate an effective response to it, and implement the response is the minute there might be a chance to turn things around.

They don’t have a clue. The Republicans will eagerly run out to try and please the media and Gaystopo and in the process destroy any chance of winning the presidency in 2016. Christians will not vote for a gay marriage loving candidate.
