First things first. They are back to Iraq and Afghanistan. The administration is going to pivot, put additional troops into Iraq and then the left and MSM will spend the next several months planting the seed that Republicans are to blame in the heads of Americans. This is a given.
“Whoever came up with it this time was a genius. But it will only work one time. The Democrats and their nasty henchmen in the media will only redouble their efforts. “
I humbly disagree. The two things that will not only fire up the base, but also turn the middle against the right is abortion and gay marriage. Conservatives cannot win the cultural war from Washington. The cultural war MUST be fought at the community level, in the churches in the schools, but never on the front page of the NY Slimes.
For this strategy to continue to work, Republicans need to take back every bill that is on Reid’s desk, hack them up into single items and send it back to Obama. Something like Immigration Reform needs to start as a single bill addressing border security. Now Obama, in front of the entire country must sign it or not. Make sure nothing other than wall off the border is in the bill. Wash, rinse and repeat for Obamacare and everything else.
Keep it simple. Keep it narrow. Americans have been dumbed down by the left so we cannot comprehend complex issues. Close the border, yes or no? Is as simple as it gets.

I couldn’t agree more with your strategy. I hope the Republican leaders are paying attention.
Are you sure you were responding to me? My post said nothing of Iraq or Afghanistan or blame, which is likely they will try, whatever goes wrong, wherever, whenever. It is the Democrat way. [That can also go both ways - Republicans can now take credit for these fantastic economy blurbs the government keeps fabricating, can’t they?]
My only context was that entitlements are perhaps the largest motivator for Democrat Voting. Abortion and Gay Marriage might be a factor when they get in the voting booth, but entitlement dollars is what got them there in the first place.
Do you want to try something else?

The folks need to do a limited boycott of the media to send a message to them to clean up their act. I would love to see an organized cancellation drive where for three months conservatives cancelled all msm, Cable, Movies, Magazines, Newspapers...
We need to hit their wallets, all at once, to show them our anger. Just for one season, to wake them up. The media needs to change how they play their games.
