Oh,yes we are. John McCain was a mistake, Mitt Romney was a mistake, Bob Dole was a mistake, Arlen Specter was a mistake, Jim Jeffords was a mistake, Lincoln Chafee was a mistake, Kelly Ayotte was a mistake, Bob Corker was a mistake, Charlie Crist was a mistake, Lisa Murkowski was a mistake, Olympia Snowe was a mistake, Susan Collins was a mistake, Kay Bailey Hutchison was a mistake, Roy Blunt was a mistake, Jerry Moran was a mistake, Saxby Chambliss was a mistake, Elizabeth Dole was a mistake, Lamar Alexander was a mistake, Lindsey Graham was a mistake, Mitch McConnell was a mistake, Orrin Hatch was a mistake.

I could go on...and on...and on.

The shutdown was bait. It is not the issue. Would be nice if Republicans would stop taking the bait tossed out by Jarrett, Reid, and most of all, the media.

I love watching Peter Pan

I would bet a substantial amount of money that he has fantasies of Barack Obama playing that role.

Joe is just another GOP Rino telling we conservatives what we did wrong.
And again he offers no counter strategy about what his strategy would be.
So Joe, what is your strategy going forward?

They make the assumption that the GOPe wants to win. They don’t. They are perfectly happy with where they are. They get all the perks that come with being DC insiders. And they have none of the responsibility, they don’t have to lead, they can just whine, either about the Democrats, or the Tea Party.

I wonder if we could trade Joe to the Dem’s for Pat Cadell? Maybe we could even get a player to be named later.

Add former New Hampshire governor and senator Judd Gregg to that list.

I watched him on “Charlie Rose” last night.

He went on a Hard Left MSM political program and trashed Conservatives and the Tea Party.

If this sounds all too familiar, it’s because Republicans were licking their wounds around this time last year after being blindsided by a presidential election whose outcome they should have seen coming a mile away. But ignorance was bliss as conservative politicians and talkers pushed bogus polls and political fairy tales to angry voters who were once again on the losing side of history. Media outlets that released polls showing President Obama winning were attacked as biased and conservatives who warned of Romney’s weaknesses were rhetorically burned at the stake as heretics.

This paragraph shows me how everyone in the media doing polling, including Joe Scarecrow, KNEW IN ADVANCE the amount of poll flipping, absentee ballot fraud, same day registration fraud, dead people, non-voters names being voted, etc. it would take to flip four or so states to Obama. It tells me they're in on it.

“Republicans representing states like New Hampshire”

Since the Republican from that state is a huge RINO and isn’t even up in 2014, forgive me if I don’t care.

I only realized at the end that this was written by the biggest loser on MSDNC. The Morning Schmoe.
When he isn’t murdering interns or calling Republicans racist, he’s giving us crappy advice.

Joe Scarborough Divorce: He Earns $99,000 A WEEK



... HOWEVER...

For starters, the divorce docs state Joe will NOT be paying child support, and what his alimony amounts to is a morsel of his enormous salary.

>"GOP isn’t learning from its mistakes "

Maybe they weren't mistakes, but outright treason by representing the house of saud!

Maybe, just maybe, the troofers had a point that wasn't on the top of their heads.

Country club republicans use to speak about Reagan in the tone that RINO Joe Scarborough speaks about Cruz.

I'm going to scream this from the rooftops all day, but: UNTIL WE ASSAULT THE KING'S PROPAGANDIST MEDIA, INCLUDING THEIR BOGUS POLLS SKEWED TO PROJECT AND SHAPE OPINIONS OF THOSE TOO STUPID TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES, NOTHING WILL CHANGE.

It doesn't matter WHAT the Republicans do, even if they improve their collective message, UNTIL THE KING'S PROPAGANDIST MEDIA IS CHALLENGED AND HELD TO ACCOUNT FOR IT'S UNRELENTING BIAS, NOTHING WILL CHANGE.

We must nip this 'War on Women' thing in the bud NOW because it's going to rear it's ugly head in 2014, then go away then come back again with Hillary in 2016!!! Unfortunately, WE MUST ENGAGE IN THE BATTLE FOR THE MINDS OF THE 'LOW INFORMATION VOTER (LIV)' because they are a huge voting block. Reid, Pelosi, Schumer etc., all know HOW TO FRAME THEIR MESSAGE FOR THE LIV's.. 'War on Women', etc.. WE MUST ENLIGHTEN SINGLE FEMALES TO THE FACT THEY ARE BEING MANIPULATED BY FEAR MONGERING and point out the fact that a WAR (War on Women) simply does not start and go away then start again only at election time!!!!

We must GRAB THESE OBAMABOTS BY THE SHOULDERS AND MAKE THEM REALIZE THAT THE DEMS ARE MANIPULATING THEM WITH FEAR TACTICS TO GET THEIR VOTE. If there REALLY WERE a 'War on Women', WHERE THE HELL IS IT? WHERE DID IT GO? It's in a closet collecting dust, only to be dragged out again at election time. IT'S A FARCE!:

MYTH:

FACT:

MEN GET SCREWED BY OBAMACARE.. NOTHING NEW FOR MEN"

Oh, the Republicans are learning. AS they usually do, they’re learning the wrong lesson. they have a virtually infinite capacity to learn the wrong lesson from any situation.
