Nothing speaks more in the face of patriarchal system where it use to be the Father whom encouraged their kids in sports rather than the mother, then socker moms.

That’s why the culture and the MSM loves socker moms, its feminism on display telling the world men are not needed in today’s society.

GOPe = Amway

The only thing that matters is being at the top of the ponzi scam pyramid.

No, the truth of the matter is ?

They see what’s coming and they gotsa stop it at all cost even if they have to get the MSM and Obama and his minions to stop it.

They see the old American way of life rising back up, you know, the Constitution, free speech , real jobs, freedom, 2nd amendment, men ruling the roost , home schooling, America being independent financially, economically, and in energy, remain the world’s super power, did I leave anything out ?

To: Political Junkie Too

Conservatives should listen to liberal pundits because they should realize that they have conservatives’ best interests at heart. Just think about Presidents Dole, McCain, and Romney. Republicans have both houses of Congress: the power of the purse. How is that working out. What kind of embarrassing photos do they have of Bohner and McConnel? Let’s get behind “electable” Jeb Bush and we can continue our slide down the toilet. “The idea that Donald Trump actually is viewed as electable will strike most political pundits as insane.” These pundits really have a 100% batting average. If Trump accomplishes only one thing it is to demonstrate that having a spine is not making him “unelectable.” Other candidates will follow.

Uh, Kristen, if they are losing they are NOT electable.

You and the GOPelites did NOT learn that in 2008.

You and the GOPelites did NOT learn that in 2012.

You and the GOPelites nominate Jeb or Kasich or a similar ‘moderate’ insider, you will likely see a repeat of 2008 and 2012.

Voting for the lesser of 2 evils is no way to motivate a base.

The argument that a more moderate candidate will be more palatable to the opposition and that a moderate candidate will elicit opposition voters to come out really doesn’t make sense either. The Dems always portray ANY candidate, moderate or conservative, as the most dangerous and deranged person on the planet.

The key is to get someone that is conservative, articulate and able to defend themselves and the conservative position (ie Cruz).

If you had the 2000 - 2004 Bush, in there, he barely scraped by too.

We haven’t had a decent spread since GHWB, and he got it with coat tails from Reagan.

Note what he did in 1992.

Talk about a barren landscape since 1992...
