Palin’s probably right. But then again, demographics are destiny and that means that the Tea Party types can’t win at a national level either. I sometimes wonder if Palin ever really takes the next step in her thinking. If she did, she’d realize that.
Republicans of all stripes have a lot on their plates right now. Palin attacking Republican donors at this moment is stupid. We’re in the middle of a battle.
You mean like Ted Cruze?
Hey there surrender monkey!
Sit down, be quiet and try not to get in the way of the real men and women trying to take our country back.
If the Tea Party can't win should we just throw in the GOP-E Big Government types.
The Democrats win there fore we would more like Democrats?
What kind of sense does that make?
Pluralities win elections. Rove doesn’t know how to mobilize the white vote, which is still enough to win if they can get them to the polls.
“But then again, demographics are destiny and that means that the Tea Party types can’t win at a national level either”. wt*? Conservatism works whenever it’s tried. Remember when Reagan won 49 states in 1980? Remember the contract with America in ‘94.....the Tea Party in ‘10? All we have to do is do it!!!!!
Demographics are pretense to assemble voting blocks and to divide people into interest groups that have zero reference to individuals. Demography is pretense. MORALITY is destiny.
Example? Romney lost because he was amoral, and on balance American conservatives were moral enough to turn away from him. Another example? The Western World became slave-free because its Judeo-Christian morality FORCED the end of slavery. Morality was destiny.
Want another example of how morality IS destiny? As Americans let themselves be bamboozled into leftists cheating their way into power so that government, rather than individuals, become fiscal arbiters of morality such as charity (welfare) and whether or not it should be "legal" to peacefully tell an openly homosexual person to go somewhere else for a youth group they can lead, or a bakery where they can buy a cake for their gay wedding, or an adoption agency where the "married" homosexual couple wants to adopt -- as long as you have government being the moral policeman that says all Americans must allow this or be punished, then we see America falling into moral decay.
MORALITY IS DESTINY. Demography is pretense. Wake up.
You have and exemplify a loser mindset. As long as people like YOU define the Republican party, which has been MY party since I first started voting in 1976, then I must face the fact that the Republican party has become a dead elephant and counterproductive, and that it's time to move on to a THIRD PARTY. I don't like it, but truth doesn't care whether I like it or not.
I would rather salvage and take over the Republican party, but as long as mindsets like yours and Romney's qualify as fit for the Republican party, then I MUST MOVE ON and seek another party. And so must America if it wants to regain and restore its freedom and morality.
You’re telling us your thoughts on what we can’t do.
What is your plan?
What have you done to win elections?
We have a pretty good record. What’s yours?
It's the Tea Party types that CAN win at the national level!! People in their late 20s through their 40s are FED UP with the way they've been treated by corporate America. Romney being a corporate raider and often sending jobs overseas wasn't what they were looking for. The RINOs keep giving us someone they want.
Cruz, Rand Paul, Marc Rubio (if he can be educated about close the border FIRST) and the group coalescing around them can easily win an election. It's the Deomocrats that lack new talent, with Obama's governing style making it impossible for anyone to emerge on the dem side.
I don’t know about that. I remember back at this point in ‘05 reading all these articles about how dems and liberals can’t win at the national level, either.
Having Bush at 27% approval changed a few things. Not saying Obama will drop to 27% but I think a tea party type could win at the national level under the right circumstances.
Just as it took the right circumstances for a black liberal to win at the national level. Historically unpopular GOP incumbent, historically unpopular war championed by GOP nominee, economy in worst recession in a generation, GOP nominee stopping his campaign and then supporting unpopular bailout, etc...
Yeah, don't you just hate those types? We should run somebody that appeals to the left and can win a national election - like say, a McCain or a Romney - ooo! I know, how about a fat POS like krispy kreme or jebtard?
Karl, is that you?
I don’t believe that for a minute. Even with a leftist media that spews leftist propaganda 24-7, this country is still roughly evenly divided. Our fight has to be with the media. If we change the media, we win.... big.
