LaTourette: The problem isn't with Mr. Kibbe's group, but it is with Tea Party groups LIKE Mr. Kibbe's group.

[Talk about a backhand to the face! LaTourette -- president of the Republican Main Street Partnership -- sounds like he is right out of a meeting with the GOPe.]

Mc and Cheezy may be absent this morning, but their media cohorts are playing videos of them this week. So even in their absence we are inundated with their presence.

Exactly. The Dems have always been able to frame issues and hence the debate. Even when they “compromise,” it is always portrayed to their advantage. They are doing the same thing with reform of the entitlement programs. The Reps are the “mean ones” who want to cut benefits for the old. Thus even if reforms are made, the Reps will be blamed by the Dems for these reforms even though they have been part of the deal.

No McCain or Graham. I guess they are both still yelling at Rand Paul, "Hey you kid, get off my lawn!" Then they can hike each other's pants real high.

Did Chris Wallace ask Dick Durbin where the administration buried the Bengazi survivors? (Yes, that's a trick question.)

The reality is the only times we have won elections is when we stand for morality and ethics. When we cave on everything and anything like marriage or abortion we go down in flames. Yes, it is more difficult to stand for issues like marriage than to use the time tested clichés like tolerance or fairness, but unless we are willing to stand for a healthy family and lifestyle what will we be willing to stand for.

Brilliant as usual.

Truth is there is nothing easy about winning elections. You have to take stands that are not always popular and will invite DBM scorn. If the left is successful in destroying our basic values as Americans, God, country and the family they will forever have changed the country. Its up to us to see to it that does not happen.

Now the panel is up on Fox and one of the panelists says the GOP has to be more inclusive. What a joke! The GOP is far more inclusive compared to the Dems. Gay marriage? There are plenty of Reps like Giuliani who support gay marriage? How many Dems don't support gay marriage?

The Dems demand lockstep obedience to their party line. They do not tolerate dissent or differences in opinion.

FNS Panel

Easton must be trying to get in good with the Rove coalition — she says the GOP needs to be more of the party of inclusion.

[Bigger tent, more leftward, more Dem lite, more amnesty pushes. Yeah, that’s the ticket, as the last 2 major elections have shown. /s]

Trippe and Rove are giggling like junior high girls at the namecalling going on with the various factions of the Republican party — wacko birds vs. old moss, etc.

[FNS panel has become insufferable in recent weeks.]

Once again last night on the Judge Janine show on FNC she blasted the regime for terrorizing and threatening survivors of Benghazi who would talk to the press. We need the truth about what really happened at Benghazi. Those who were there are premier eye witnesses.The regime can not allow any truth about what really happened by first hand on the scene witnesses to occur.

It's been months since four Americans were allowed to be slaughtered by obama terrorists. Eye witnesses are like holy water to the blood drinkers in power.

Now that survivors of the event have been interviewed its an even bigger scandal for the regime that they have now threatened witnesses who were there with who knows what kind of consequences should they talk to anyone seeking truth.

Its a sad day for modern journalism that we have no one wiling to get to the truth however difficult it may be to do so.

If I had to guess I would suggest that Boehner is more of a “trust but verify type” when it comes to Obama. Some of these guys including Boehner have so many interviews its really disingenuous to take a few words out of context and treat them as gospel.

Watching Boehner on ABC now. Boehner agrees with the President that we don't have an immediate debt/deficit problem. He says we don't know how long we have to solve it--one to four years maybe.

What an idiot. The MSM will jump on this. Boehner is the last person who should be negotiating with the Dems. He is part of the Washington establishment. He is not interested in cutting spending.

In the aftermath of some hours spent watching the speeches at CPAC this week, I concluded that the more things change the more they really don’t—at least for me.

While there are many good things about many of the Republican conservative potentials out there—Bachmann, Newt, Jindal, Rubio, Rand Paul in particular—the one who speaks more closely in sync with my thinking and in my opinion is also the most charismatic and persuasive of the pack is Mrs. Sarah Palin, R, Alaska, who had me at “Hello” in 2008 and still does.

To me, there is still no close second. She can just flat out rock it in a way that only Reagan could.

Exactly, kabar. We will be blamed for everything that goes wrong with anything all the time by the Obmamedia.

Truth is we need to get over what the drivebys have to say about us and just go ahead and do the right thing for America.

That means getting people off welfare, securing borders and balancing the budget irregardless of the moaning and groaning from left wing media sources.

IF we do the right thing for the country as a whole not certain vote groups only, we will get the respect we deserve. For the truth to get out we need to stop worrying about what the drivebys have to say and trust our own media.

The regime cannot be stopped at this point. No one is going to demand impeachment. I just hope that whatever comes out is enough to stop Hillary’s candidacy in 2016. Her ‘what difference does it make!’ outburst will already be used against her. But is it enough? We need something pretty big to hang around her shoulders.

To me, too.
Why wasn’t she on the straw poll ballot, or was she?

Agreed, if she had the courage to stand up to the bullies on both sides she would win. Nobody wants to withstand the barrage of being a woman off the plantation, but she has charisma and deep convictions none of our candidates have.

Pray for America

You don’t see the GOP reaching out to groups like the Tea Party, only liberals are welcome.

I think our best bet instead of engaging in what the left does with the divide and conquer strategy of different groups of Americans is to treat everyone the same.

By doing that the dems will become disoriented and it will show them as the phonies they really are.

Instead of having Hispanic Americans, black Americans, gay Americans, etc., etc., lets just treat every one as an American pure and simple.

When all the same rules apply to everyone equally the lefts divide and conquer strategy will no longer work.

Now that I’ve seen him in action, I think it’s fair to refer to any dirt-eating RINO as having “LaTourette’s Syndrome®”
