Amen to that! Time to clean house!
I’m not sure what to do with national pollsters knowing that the establishment pollsters were giving good information and our trusted pollsters were feeding us pablum to keep us from giving up.
I want the unvarnished facts, and I don’t want “our side pollsters.” I want straight shooters unemotionally delivering facts. I think people are far more likely to roll of their sleeves and work harder than they are to turn defeatist and simply give up. Giving up is not a conservative value.
Yep. And either fire Rasmussen or put an end to early voting and get serious about ending vote fraud.
Prebus is an embarrassment. He made himself look like an arse with his cocky attitude and reassurances that we were doing better. In fact he couldn’t even get more turnout which was a killer and he didn’t get enough pressure to keep guys like Akin or Mourdock (both over the edge guys) from running. We lost 2 Senate seats that should be conservative (note not over the top wacko) but conservative seats. Now we have McCaskill and Donnelley in a Senate with 55 Dems (and 2 Indys who will caucus with them) and 45 Republicans of which 12 are moderates like Kirk from IL and other one from Maine who are not line in the sand guys/gals.
The message didn’t lose because the message wasn’t communicated. Mitt Romney was the most qualified person we had running for office in a long time. He was deemed by a majority of people to be the most qualified in the area people wanted to see improvement, the economy. He didn’t win because the media embargoed him and accepted Obama’s definition.
We’re playing a 21st century game with 20th century thinking and messaging. Back in 2001, we entered the era of the permanent campaign and we just campaign once every two years. That won’t flush anymore.
The National Socialists used to have party offices in every locality and they campaigned for every vote. Even when they lost, they increased their visibility. They identified disparate groups that felt they weren’t represented and tailored messaging to each of them. Even if they opposed each other, they just told them what they needed to hear to get their vote. They recognized that all they needed was a 50+1 plurality to get where they needed to go and it was achieved by any means necessary. They had very attractive people go to every public function and represent, they had people that were full time paid staffers that just wrote to newspapers and blamed the problems on the Jews, the Zionists, the bankers, the shopkeepers. It was a constant drumbeat, day after day, issue after issue the media jumped on board. They divided and conquered.
This is what the Democrats have been doing since 2005.
Guess who the Jews are? us.
It’s not Reince, it’s not Rove, it’s us. We need to dedicate ourselves to the permanent campaign and if we refuse, we do so at our own peril.
