GOP Victory Will Launch New Age of Optimism
Radix News ^ | October 25, 2014 | Lawrence Kudlow

Posted on 10/24/2014 9:17:28 PM PDT by Abakumov

The vast majority of political journalists — and I include some of my conservative colleagues — are missing a very big story.

The Republicans are going to recapture the Senate, picking up more seats than most any forecaster expects. And the House GOP is going to add to its majority. But then comes the big story: The beginning of a new conservative revolution.

The idea that nothing much will change if the GOP captures the whole Congress is just plain wrong. The politics and policies in Washington are about to change in a major way.

Obama may still be president. But he is going to be immediately confronted with a flood of new bills that will change the debate on tax reform, energy, health care, education, international trade and regulations.

Now a post such as this gets dozens of immediate hits from whiners and criers who hate the GOP more than they love their country.

Totally wrong. They love their country. Therefore they hate what the GOP has become. It has become hostile to what they believe, and they know it.

That's not "whining." That's not "crying." That's facing reality.

Reality. You should try it.

You are so right! It seems like every political thread devolves quickly into a “GOPe sucks” screed. Why should I contribute financially anymore to Free Republic? It's become so overrun with pessimism and trolls, I don't think I would miss it much if it went under (and I've been here since 1997!)

Well Dan, the way I see it, you have two choices. Hit the road if you hate it here so much, or, present your evidence for why the GOPe is so great, and convince us.

Not one dime’s worth of difference with the oompah-loompah and turd-le in charge.

I mainly have.

This is the year of the RINO Romney GOPe Republican. They exercised their money power to pretty much have their way during the primaries, with few exceptions.

I've pretty much sat and watched quietly since then.

But post after post blasting conservatives for refusing to once again be senseless dupes for those who hate us and what we believe in is just a bit too much after awhile.

With the same old leadership? I'll believe that when I see it.

"You should try it."

Sorry, whining, crying, and grousing, and then sticking my head in the sand on election day is not my cup of tea. I'll stick with TEA, organizing, motivating, and making things for the better.

even if the GOP wins big, how does that translate to conservative anything?

People here trying to suppress your vote are also preventing you from taking 5 friends and relatives to the polls with you.

The same was promised when we gave the GOP all 3 Houses back in 2000. We all know how that went... borders still open, Ted Kennedy writing Amnesty bills, the budget growing faster than under Clinton, none of the extra-Constitutional agencies shut down, nothing done about the “Progressive” tax system, nothing done to restore Constitutional limits to the federal behemoth, etc. The Republican Party does not deserve another victory. We’re only tepidly supporting them until their replacement comes along.

Sunny smilers we must be, the optimist asserts.

You are 100% correct!!! IMHO......it is mostly trolls trying to cancer the drinking water...for the low life, Obamabot Democrat Party vermin!!! The administrator should immediately eliminate those postings as soon as they are psoted!!! Why? Because the wording and venom structure of content, gives away the game players....trolls or idiots!!!

What Free Republic should be doing is urging it followers to post enmasse....urging every single American voter to turn out on election day, Tuesday, November 4, 2014...and, vote against every single Democrat Party candidate running for office across the entire country....thus, politically destroying the Democrat Party in congress...and, Making POTUS Obama, traitor that he is, an immediate “Lame Duck” POTUS!!!

Oh, they will take the Senate, probably with 51-52 seats, but that “won’t be enough” to “get anything done” so they “will have to wait until 2016 to get more seats to really advance the conservative agenda.”

“Friend, won’t you donate $50 to the GOP to get this done? See you in 2016!”

Blithering fool. This election does not matter one iota. Not at all.

...who hate the GOP more than they love their country.

What hyperbolic bullish!t. It is precisely the love of country and its founding principles that cause so many conservatives to hold the GOP in utter contempt.

"What hyperbolic bullish!t."

A hyperbolic equation is of the form x^2/a^2-y^2/b^2 = -1. What's that got to do with trolls on Free Republic trying to suppress votes against democRats?

A lot more than accusing fellow conservatives (who rightfully take issue with anti-conservative GOP positions and rhetoric) as being “trolls” suppressing votes against Democrats. Asinine assumptions like that belong on D.U.
