Steve Schmidt: GOP must muzzle Rush Limbaugh
Mitt Romney really was electable...right?
Sarah Palin would not have won.
The GOP-e really thought that a billionaire with Wall St. ties would be a great candidate during a depression. This election was a walk in the park for the Communists.
Conservatives could see it coming, but by and large, held their noses and voted Republican anyway. This can’t be blamed on us. It can be blamed on people like Carl Rove and Charles Krauthammer, who disdain Sarah Palin as a country bumpkin. She helped McCain pull about six million more votes than Romney got. So much for their vaunted “expertise.”
This is Politico and Steve Schmidt is a fool. Anyone with the sense God gave a gnat knows he is a real loser. If they would do it; I think Palin/Limbaugh or visa versa would make a great President and Vice President. I also think Mark Levin would be a great President. Don’t let them drown out the conservative voices. It sounds like they are trying to do just that. The GOP is doing that especially by calling themselves moderates.
Sarah Palin stopped herself. She didn’t need any help from the GOP-E.
Palin is unelectable and damaged goods. Press made certain of that. She’s now happily swimming in money and probably gonna release another book on running or Alaska. I don’t blame her one bit.
If true, Sarah beat “GOP leaders” to the punch and stopped herself.
We had a weak field, which doesn’t give those who didn’t deign to enter the race a free ride on the outcome.
Sarah Palin represents social conservatism in the eyes of the GOP-E. They hate socons. They love freepers and ‘conservatives’ who toe the line and vote for whomever they put in front of them.
How’s that goin’ for ya?
It’s incredible that Mitt didn’t have Palin as a speaker at the Repub convention. Notice that the convention gave him no bounce.
I don’t really think there’s going to be much of a GOP to be stopping much of anything from this point forward. The GOP-e has pretty much stopped itself.
This defeat started with Todd Akin and his idiotic remark about rape. Mourdock sealed it. Women as a group were really turned off.
The momentum came back with the debates, then Christie turned Obama into Saint Barack.
We lost by very little, but those were enough to turn the tide.
We would have had LESS votes with Palin, who is overrated, just as Obama is.
The RINOS made this bed.....it’s time for a real Constitutional third party.....
Palin quit, right? She stopped herself.
Sarah isn’t....... no gravitas, no desire to run, Trig
The focus should be on by passing Obama
And what exactly has the GOP Establishment done for us lately? Given us McCain, Romney, George Allen, etc. The GOP-E are happy to take pot shots as unidentified sources and stab folks in the back. They are not leaders. They are bean counters and bureaucrats who are enamored with themselves. I learned at Benning a long time ago that no one ever managed a wet, cold, tired and hungry soldier under fire onto the objective. Takes leadership, which the Republican Party has been lacking for a long time. We need wholesale change from top to bottom.
Sarah could not have won this election. America has rejected the socially conservative message. That is why Akin and Murdock lost.
Unless the social fabric of the nation would change, a conservative has no chance. Face it, people voted against their own religions that frown on lefty social issues.
I would not be surprised if some of those Obama fraud cheaters put on their “goin’ to Church hats” this Sunday and feel no shame.
Probably about the best we could get anymore would be a strong appealing Liberatarian. Soft on social issues and strong on the economy.
This country no longer rejects corruption as long as they can all participate in it. Let me say this, I got a call from my son a few days ago. He was grading graduate school students. He uncovered massive cheating on these tests.
This is what we are dealing with. People do not care. They want the good grade even if they did not earn it. They did not achieve anything and they didn’t work too hard. All were probably capable, but it is easier to take the slacker way to that diploma.
We have a group mentality now. People are following the pack. As long as everybody is doing it, well, what the hell, so will I.
Another thing, they don’t care about wars and they don’t care about the troops. It is volunteer in their minds and they think the people that serve are goofy.
Here is the sad note. When a coming war is forced upon them, they will crap their pants because the military will be a fazed out shell of itself and the lefties will have to force them to fight. They are going to lose, they just don’t know it yet.
If this sounds cynical, don’t fool yourself, it isn’t.
