IMO, GOP is still searching for one pair of gonads and an American spine amongst all of the chicken s*its..

Where oh where do we find a leader that loves his country and his freedom more than greed, ego, and power????? Name some names, please! Now, go out and recruit them to organize a Conservative Resistance to oppose the sinister, premeditated tyranny from the RAT Socialists in DC destroying our country hour by hour.

Tell me how we “take back” power from those who now own the MSM, all 3 branches of government, Hollywood, higher education, lower education, the banks, the auto manufacturers, the unions, etc.?

... populist anger ...

That word, populist, nearly always is used as a pejorative.

From the online Miriam-Webster Dictionary:

populist
2: a believer in the rights, wisdom, or virtues of the common people

By that definition, give me a little 'populism' anytime.

If they are going to self destruct, it couldn't happen to a better group. The demonrats are a corrupt bunch who have been in power too long.

My hope is that they do enough damage that ordinary democrats, those who don't pay attention to politics except right before an election, see those in DC clearly as the self righteous hypocrites they are.

Obama is getting off to a great start to make that a reality...now we just need enough time for it all to sink in and some smart, media savvy conservatives to fill the vacuum the Obamagarchy leaves behind.

Yes, I see how that worked last time we tried to push it....when we had a majority.

We lost . . . and by a sizeable amount . . . we have to lick our wounds, regroup, and figure out what to do . . . too many RINOs still in office, ACORN has become highly dangerous, and a whole lot of people are stuck on stupid. I’m not sure what we have to do.

Sorry guys, but the Democrat party is not the one self-destructing. We do indeed live under a one-party system. The Republicans are a fake opposition party, propped up by the democrats as a “boogieman” to scare the American people into more socialism.

It’s misdirection. “Look at this hand, don’t look at my other hand in your wallet. Don’t let these guys get power, or they’ll take away your abortions and your welfare check!”

Why is it, do you think, that the Republicans had a majority in at least one house of Congress since 1994 and never rolled back socialism even one iota? Not even when they had the Presidency and majorities in both houses?

I can’t recall even one liberal law or policy that got repealed. Not ONE. Why is that? Because we have two arms of the same socialist party, working in tandem to enslave all Americans to the State.

I would love to see Obama, Nancy Botoxi and Harry Reid in a political version of the final scene...

LOL!

Everett Sloan COULD have played Harry Reid, but how dare you say Rita Hayworth could have played Barack Obama! ;)

And then that awful music Welles tried to get rid of starts blaring...

To date, however, the Obama administration has seemed more concerned with reassuring Wall Street that it will be protected against Main Street hotheads than in disciplining Wall Street on behalf of Main Street Americans who have lost jobs, homes, and savings.

Well, when you look at who any President's bosses are and how they helped him get elected in return for future services rendered, this makes perfect sense. Add in the typical wealthy liberal's unhealthy obsession with the French Revolution, and it's not surprising the new ruling class sees Main Street as a motley gang of Madame DuFarges in waiting. ;)

Populism is stupidity in tights.

Catering to it is mindless suicide.

Just like the dead who followed and worshiped Jim Jones. They are doomed to defeat because he is not the Pontus and will lead you astray.

This guy doesn’t get it. Obama is not a liberal, the democrats are not liberals. They are stalinists, they don’t think there will be legitimate elections in 2010 that can lose. I am afraid that people still think this is a democratic game of elections. Look at Chavez in Venezuela, the left is on the march everywhere and consolidating power. That means they will hold elections the will not lose. The figment of democracy will be maintained but they could care less about the will of the people. They are as Lenin envisioned, the revolutionary vanguard and only they know waht is good for us. The dictatorship has taken over and unfortunately the RINOS played right into the Bolshevik’s hands, just like Kerensky played into Lenin’s hands.

I can call myself a donut, and it doesn't make it so.
