just a few snarky comments from Politico reporter. Talk of '16.
I swear, a Cruz / Palin ticket overflowing with common sense, and bold defense of same would short-circuit lefty brains far and wide, and draw lots of support.
It has occurred to me that we have far too many political lifers in Washington DC who all think that they have a lifetime appointment to the Court of St. James. What this country needs is a critical mass of 300 Spartans, who are willing to go to Washington, clean up the mess in one fell swoop, then go home and let somebody else carry on.
One weakness in our form of government is that it was put together by people who basically wanted to go home. Our government works when the people in charge remember that they have a home to go, and they want to get back there.
When the lifers are in charge, we end up with this.
To me, too.
Why wasnt she on the straw poll ballot, or was she?
She only got 3 percent but would the vote have gone that way if it had occurred AFTER she spoke? Unbridled now that she doesn’t have to pander to Ailes and Rove at FNC, she just blew them all away yesterday.
I have put together a Grassroots manual which can get people elected without the $$ and corruption we have now. It levels the playing field and focuses on GOTV. It may make a difference.
Pray for America
If you look at our the past successes especially in the senate we have had remarkable success in replacing many RINO legislators with good, great conservatives like Marco,Cruz and many others.
Graham is now on our list and others as well. We are making progress but destroying powerful leaders now in office charged with representing us is probably counter productive.
Yes, it’s possible there’s a young upstart lurking somewhere. But the media is already carrying her water & intending for the next ‘historical’ presidency (first woman). We’ll have the same problem of trying to get a sensible message thru the media wall.
Optics be damned; they had to bury it for as long as possible, hoping people would forget, especially if they sandbagged past the election.
The truth must be damning, as they're still hiding it.
Whoever will be the Dem nominee in 2016 will win. Hillary is a lock if nominated. Only health problems can stop her from getting the nomination in 2016.
The only disparaging remarks I have heard about Cpac2013 is that border security was played down and some speakers who are in favor of strong border security were not allowed.But, I'm getting used to not getting 100% of anything any more.
They should be pushing for lower legal immigration numbers, the primary reason for our rapidly changing demography. Instead, they will seek to increase the numbers while 23 million Americans look for full-time employment. The GOP has a death wish.
It doesn’t have to be that way. I don’t see why the GOP isn’t running ads NOW, comparing Democrat/Blue states to Republican/Red states. Compare Detroit to a well-run city & point out how the leftist policies destroy people’s lives. Run ads showing the racist/divisive/class war-fare rhetoric of Obama & the left & ask what happened to E Pluribus Unum? They are so blatant, but the media lets them get away with it if not actually encouraging it.
Aren’t there people with deep pockets on our side who would be willing to fund such an ad campaign? We really need to force our message across & the only way to beat the media is to advertize past them.
If you follow Boehener its now unlike him to contradict what he says on the following day.
I would much rather Paul Ryan were doing the negotiating. Do you think that will happen?
I’m concentrating on 2014 right now and hoping we can have another repeat of 2010. If we do it could well set the stage for a Republican presidency in 2016.
The total incompetence of the Rep party to do media and the tech social community and to use ‘emotional pitches” is just unbeleivable.
You are right..that would be an excellant idea..videos of the Detroit Plantation and sad, pitiful young black men who are unemployed, hysterical seniors fearful of all the medicare cuts..etc.
And how about the incoherent economic policies? How do you build an economy from the middle class out? Impossible. And never challenged, not by the media, not by Republicans.
The problem is that these "powerful leaders" are destroying the GOP. If they continue to "lead," there will be no party. They are not being held accountable nor do they have any stomach for the fight. Boehner has pissed away the Tea Party victory in 2010. The GOP has held the Tea Party at arm's length. Chuckleheads and whacko-birds are not the way to describe them or any rank and file Rep that disagrees with the GOPe.
Boehner is the problem and the sooner he is removed the better. He should never have kept his position after the 2012 elections. I am particularly upset how he is ignoring the Hastert rule and is willing to push thru his own agenda by aligning with the Dems supplemented by RINOs to get things passed. I fear amnesty will be one such issue.
Morning AB....
Thank you for doing this thread and thank you all for your astute contributions.
Sang at church this morning. Priest, I dunno, he had to walk with cane, could not recess or process, struggled to climb steps to altar.
I pray every day for this priest as he...well he has some issues. I tell God that I pray for my priest but I’m a little nonplused by it.
I mean, isn’t a priest like, one of HIS people?
Anyway, so we have a new pope and there is joy.
So the wonderful Chris Matthews, he who is going to hell immediately after death for lying and promoting that liar in the White House....gets on Meet the Depressed, and in this discussion about our new pope, that nothing-burger twerp goes on and on about the Catholic sex scandal.
Hey, Chris, THAT CASE HAS BEEN SETTLED! Victims have been quite well compensated.
The entire pension plan for the lay people was used to pay the victims. Soon the Wilmington Diocese is embarking on a capital campaign to replenish those coffers.
I can promise Chris Matthews spitty zero burger that the capital campaign will be a resounding success and there are more Catholics today than there were ten years ago.
Further, I can testify there is no safer place for a child than in the Catholic church today, Lord there rules within rules.
EVERY employee dealing with kids is thoroughly investigated. There must be a certifiedadult with the children. No adult must ever be alone with a child, much less a priest.
The church paid the victims. They accepted culpability. Good Lord this was over fifty years ago!
How small can you be to get on a TV show supposed to discuss the new pope and spend all your time pissing on the church for ancient history. ?
Hell is hot, Chris. You are going there, you drunken souse.
Can you believe the lying B...ch madeline Allbright saying ‘..and we went into Iraq for God knows what reason.” SHE had the same intel that Kerry, Kennedy, Durban, Feinstein and the french and the UN and Clinton way back when and all VOTED BIPARTISAN to go into that war.
I can’t stand that lying stupid, incompetent, and ugly woman.
(next time I’ll tell you how I really feel.)
