Continue to frame the argument as tax cuts, Republicans will continue to lose. Not enough tax payers. Define it as personal economic determinism, you will have put them to sleep.
Presentation is the key.
Lol...even they won't be able to prevent the uproar that is gonna happen in the all too near future.
Barnes brings nothing to the party. The center-right is comprised of those who lack the courage to be conservatives. It’s not a philosophy or a set of principles. E.g., are they kind of against abortion?

Alinsky tactics: eliminate your enemies. That’s what Barky did in Illinois in 3 races, Jack Ryan being the most publicized.
They need another straw man now that Bush is gone.
“... Then socialism continues her course.
I believe it is going to have to be something greater than elections to stop the serfdom train.”
I have stated the exact same thought. Even with Ronald at the helm, we did not turn back socialism, we just slowed it’s rate of progress.
That's because Barnes wouldn't recognize a conservative if they were standing right in front of him with a flashing neon sign around their neck.
At long last Fred Barnes recognizes Rush’s ability to fire up the conservatives!
Demonize an individual, and the make others afraid to sound like, or be associated with, the “demon”.
They have to do something - or else how can they explain not having the time to shop for something nice for the Brits?
Then shake 'em harder.
I pray you are not correct, but I fear that you are.
If necessary, so be it.
Really?! Barnes is such a Beltway hack...
Read 1984. They're trying to set up the Two-Minute Hate, just like they did with Bush.
I'm not so sure about that. You can't get blood from a stone.
Mark Steyn: The Great Destabilization
That’s why he’s indifferent to the plummeting Dow. The president has made a strategic calculation that, to advance his plans for socialized health care, “green energy,” and a big-government state, it’s to his advantage for things to get worse.
It appears to me that he wants to wreck the economy, subsidize pals in inefficient “green energy,” ration medical care and leave a festering social security shortfall, IMHO. Apres Obama, Le Deluge!
Obama will fund more losing embryonic stem cell research (New Yellow Brick Award to the President)
Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
I don't think there will be a revolution. Who would shoot at whom? We are all so intermingled. And who knows who thinks what? Most people keep their thoughts to themselves. If enough people had felt that way, he wouldn't have been elected. And 4 years from now, he will have hired thousands more government employees (read Democrat voters) and paid off and bought more people. I just don't think there are enough people with a clear understanding of the dangers of the slide to socialism or collectivism or ____ism. Our prosperity will continue to decline, and people will continue to call for the government to do more for them. Just as they do in all the social democratic countries.
The difference this time, is that we have been the economic engine of the world, so the other stagnating economies could ride on our coattails. We were their escape valve. But when we go down there won't be any escape valve for us, or any coattails for us to ride on.
Maybe I'll change my tagline to O.B.A.M.A.(One Big A$$ Mistake, America). That's a good one.
“Alinsky tactics: eliminate your enemies.”
Any bets on who starts dying off first and when?
Maybe that’s the plan, too.
My gripe, among many other things, of course, is it drives me nuts when people who should know better, refer to Democrats as “Democratic”. For example, he refers to IMPTOUS Clinton as the “Democratic President”. Just thinking about that makes me laugh-—yeah, ole Bill is pretty democratic, isn’t he?
