The GOP has NO moral courage. Nor any kind of courage whatsoever.

Save only a few. Bachmann for one.

Mrs. Bachmann won election and re-election, a very contested re-election with national pressure brought against her.

What did you mean? What hasn’t she won?

To defeat the socialists in DC, you must have a media strategy that rises above polls and talking points. The RINO’s did not debate this on conservative economic principal and lost. This is bad economics, bad policy, and bad for the nation. But the press says Obama “won”.

"We have to take over the Republican Party"

We tried that here in Alaska. When we got a real conservative republican nominated for Senate the State and National Repubs joined forces to defeat him. The coalition of democrats, unions and natives put the most liberal republican (Lisa murkowski) back in the senate with the help of the establishment republicans. I no longer am a registered republican thanks to that eye opening experience.

Our GOP didn’t cave, Obama and Co. did. We won this round and we need to keep on winning.

I don't know, but it seems to me that by keeping the payroll tax we will be adversely affecting Social Security which is already in trouble.

Does short term tax relief now cause long term damage to retirees???

“..Get the Weeper another box of Kleenex...”

::::::::::::::

I really thought we might have had something of a fighting leader when we got rid of Pelosi. But we just got a flaming member of the Washington Repub Establishment.

What a horrible disappointment. This kind of happening is why I left the Repub party over six years ago and became an Independent.

I listened to allen West on Beck DEFEND his position on his vote...saying we just have to tweak the language like “suspected” and we are in a war and we need this. Beck gave him every possible out...no way, West was all in.
