I hope the fools take his advice.

The former republican candidate is leading the incumbant democrat by around 10 points in early polling in my district.

[FlingWingFlyer]

You tell ‘em Whistling (past the graveyard) Bob!!! You ‘RATS are all clueless and in a bad state of denial.

[LibLieSlayer]

Hey rats... listen to the loser... uhhh I mean that political genius shrum... that's the ticket!

"Bob Shrum: Palin won't be GOP nominee in 2012 (Guess who he thinks will be?)
In presidential politics, Republicans are an orderly party; they're unlikely ever to be comfortable with the spontaneous, erratic performance of Sarah Palin.
They also have a nominee in waiting—Mitt Romney."

“I hope the fools take his advice.”

So do I. That way the Dimwits get annihilated by an even bigger margin in November.
Meanwhile, to call Frum a worm, will be an insult to worms.

[SnuffaBolshevik]

This guy is as ignorant as he is homely.

[PALIN SMITH]

Crumy Shrummy has never won a national election he has run.

If Obama fails, the economy succeeds.

If he succeeds, the country fails.

It's that simple!!

Obama has no clue how to run a country.

He is all theory and no experience!

" They can’t be on the defensive; they can’t save themselves by fleeing their president or their principles."

Wow principles, what a concept. Yeah Rat's that's the ticket; keep do'n the thing you do so well.

[oyez]

The GOP wants Obama to fail and the economy to fail.

Not entirely true. We want his policies to fail, but we want the economy to recover.

Shrum is merrily spoon-feeding the ignorant. The GOP has never tried to slash Social Security and ruin Medicare. He says the government can produce jobs. Production produces jobs. The government can be most helpful by stepping aside.

[potlatch]

IT'S A 'NO TO DEMS' VOTE

 

[italianquaker]

Has Bob Scum been right about anything?

Shrummy is the pied piper of Ratville. I hope all the rats follow his lead.

[denydenydeny]

If they hold their ground and draw the dividing lines, a lot more congressional Democrats will be around when the economic recovery is in full force and Barack Obama leads his party to victory in 2012.

Sage advice from the man who helped lead Gore and Kerry to victory.

Please, Democrats. Stick to your guns.

[haroldeveryman]

“Maybe the House leadership should even schedule a roll call on Republican Representative Paul Ryan’s alternative budget, which would privatize and slash Social Security and turn Medicare into vouchers.”

I’ll drink to that. Let’s have an open discussion about how Medicare and Social Security are 100 perecent unfunded, and that the future funding amount of such unfunded programs is more than 100 trillion dollars, not counting interest. Learing the air like this willl remind people that Obama has already annnounced his intention to gut medicare in order to fund other programs.

[ODDITHER]

Yea for years Democrats have been on the offensive blaming Bush and the GOP for everything from hurricanes to hang nails. Now they are playing defense but instead of defending their positions on issues they are still blaming everything on the Republicans and Bush.

In reality they should be blaming themselves because they are on the opposite side of most Americans on every issue. The reason they can’t pass their leftist bills is because they don’t have enough Democrats willing to commit suicide.

[goldstategop]

We say we're for human happiness. They can say they want the government to take care of us. Between these two visions - I think there is NO contest!

Yep.

We are surrounded by RINOS aka Democratic Party. The only use John McCain is he is dumb enough to go out and take the heat as a patsy for the Democratic Party. Real leader there. NOT

More like a coward and a weak sister that will sell their own soul and that’s exactly what the RINOS and Democratics are. It makes my skin crawl to know they are there.
