I heard this sort of stuff when we lost to Clinton, twice, and now here it is again that we've lost to Obama, twice.

The way I see it, we've got to stop looking for the road to "Pleasantville", and start to fight. Fight dirty, like the dems fight.

They obviously see their beliefs and way of life worth fighting for, and fighting dirty for...but us? Well, we want to "reach across the aisle" and swap spit with the dems and give the media a hand job so they will "like us". Whoop-de-doo.

Everyone says that Romney is a "nice guy"...maybe therein lies the problem. We listen to the GOPe elites and they try to tell us who can get elected...and they're wrong most every time.

The GOPe running from true Conservatism, with a sneer like they passed the city dump or an open septic tank while driving near the latest trailer park.

I believe the true "middle class" in America, are the true conservatives...not the GOP. The GOP is just a truck (party)on which the Conservatives hitched a ride because they don't yet have our own truck (party).

But to create such a party, it would split the NON-democrat vote, and we'd never win again.

The Tea Party movement totally flummoxed the media and the dems because it HAD NO DEFINEABLE LEADER. The opposition had no target on which to focus, and they were scared. But, it wasn't the MSM or the dems that neutered the TPM, it was the GOPe.

The GOPe sees the TPM and hard-core conservatives like the crazy rich uncle no one wants to acknowledge belongs to the family. They want the money, they want the votes, but that's when they hang the "out to lunch" sign with the conservatives and their values come calling.

The next four years "war" should not waste "ammunition" on the dems, but go after the GOPe. The Tea Party should rise up from the ashes and go back on their rampage like 2010. It scared the hell out of all of them. They just quit too soon.

It's time to starve the beasts, plural...both the socialist government, and the GOPe chicken hearted. Re-register your party affiliation, stop giving your money (what remains after the Obamacare tax) to the GOPe and let's give it to the Tea Party.

Play their game, start the Tea Party Union, made up of true conservatives will will withold their votes for the GOP unless the planks of conservatism are adhered to, and courage is shown to back it up.

Sorry for the rant, I'm just tired of the arm-chair quarterbacking on why we lost...we lost because we sent "Captain GOPe" - chicken of the sea - out to speak for an America that is tired of all the crap, and they moderated themselves, and us, into losing the election.

Agree with you, FRANKR and the writer of this column. We need the ignorant and the dumb and the arrogant liberals (who happen to be richer than most of us working folk), to feel the pain, because pain is often the only thing than can wake up a numb mind.

My body is full of pain, so I listen to it. If I didn’t, I’d be as delusional and stupid as most Democrats (except for those who can afford to buy serious painkillers).

I feel for the less fortunate (those who suffer through no fault of their own), and I’ll try to help them with my reduced income (Jan. 1, 40% taxes on Dividends in my retirement portfolio).

Higher insurance rates are killing me as sure as the cardiac arrest did 3 years ago. Pretty soon the choice will be between having insurance or replacing my 15 year old car with 206,000 miles on it.

Oh, my company just stopped contributing to our 401K Plan. That was one important part of my retirement planning. This is going to hurt too.

I’ve got more than my share of pain. Hey, libs, have I got a gift for you.

Fine, I will not debate that the GOP-e is clueless. My point was that they acted as useful idiots to allow Obama to insulate himself from the consequences of his policies. Nobody is feeling the pain from those policies so why should they care? It is time to stop telling the voters about the pain and let them experience it. We stand in the way of Obama inflicting it and for what? So they can turn on us. No thanks.

And one other note, until the media is dealt with harshly we will be losers forever. The media needs to be exposed. I want to know everything about them, where they eat, who they are boinking, where their kids go to school and if they are in trouble. You know, I want to know everything about the media that they want to know about our candidates and our voters.
