I have an idea. How about we elect new leadership. True leadership.
All signs point to the GOP coming out with a ‘Contract With America’ type statement at some dramatic event in early September.
One of our big PR problems, and one that zer0 is capitalizing on, is that the BEST solution to our problems is to go back to old, tried and true capitalistic principles.
zer0 hammers us because we offer nothing “new.” That is a convincing argument because we need policies that are already known to work.
We need to refute this argument and change the debate somehow.

I am greatly enjoying the RATS and their media stooges whistling past the graveyard and caliming RAT losses will not be huge. Bob “The Pig” Beckel had me laughing last night with his angry denials.
We cannot assume that this generic ballot is what will happen. If we really want “Change” then we will have to work at and force the leaders to accept the conservative message that less government, spending, and lower taxes. Period! Time for major layoffs in DC!!
It will be tragic for this country if the Republicans take over in January and do nothing to insure that a voting majority will never again flirt with the ideas and promises of the Democratic Party. So far, I am not encouraged as I have absolutely no idea what the Republican agenda is were they to find themselves in a Congressional majority. Just electing inexperienced and vocal Tea Party conservatives to office will not get it and in fact, may be the worst thing that could happen as longer term consequence. Please tell me what conservatives are going to work towards (other than blunting the Obama socialist agenda) as a matter of me voting for them in November.
I want Obama to be beaten in 2012, and if America has to burn in the meantime so be it.
If Republicans regain control and manage to fix things... Obama will claim all the credit and we will be stuck with him for another 4 years and by then it will be too late to repeal healthcare. Our ONE chance to repeal it comes in 2012 assuming our candidate runs strongly on repeal if elected.
They do, whenever we replace RINOs with conservatives.
Don’t underestimate the ability of RINOs and other spineless limp-wrists to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Wait for “party elders” to support the Mosque, or Immigration reform or perhaps congratulate Hussein on his Supreme Court picks!!!
Don’t worry, Michael Steele and John Boehner will figure out how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Republican 2010 - vote for us, we're not Democrats
Democrats 2012 - vote for us, we're not Republicans
Republicans 2014 - vote for us, we're not Democrats
We’re not running “generic congresscritters.” What does it look like in contested races? Do we have enough lead to offset the vote fraud?
