May they all follow the Wall Street Example during the Great Depression in 1929.

Weak is RELATIVE. It is WEAKER now, not stronger, and that weakness can and should be exploited.

They are not caving in. They are bargaining with the Dems to get goodies for their corporate masters. They are giving the Dems in return everything they want including control of the country. Works for both of them right? Just not for us. Remember how the c of c Republicans and the lib gentry Dems say they are, “working together to get things done” and don’t have time for Tea partiers to get in and gum things up.

Why should they worry? They have establishment GOP drones who will give them anything they want. And have.

Thou shalt not speak ill of any Republican.

If Ronald Reagan were around today, he'd be saying quite a few things about Republicans.

The author ignores the contributions that Rush Limbaugh made.

It was Rush who forced Republicans to let the Rats own their policies.

That’s right.

And it should be exploited in such a way that all people can understand. It must be shown how Liberal/Progressive thought and policies hurt everyone personally.

Most people can’t see the big picture. They must be made to see it on a personal level.

Has he seen the electoral map for POTUS lately? I think we’ll hold a majority of governorships and state houses for a generation, but winning the Presidency is going to be hard work. We’ll need a candidate that captures the mushy middle. One with a proven history of doing just that in a Dem controlled state.

Spot on. We need a massive push for conservative populism and we’ll hold Congress for generations.

The Obama era should have been a high watermark for American liberalism. Democrats in 2009 not only laid claim to the House, the filibuster-proof Senate, and the White House, but did so during an economic recession in which jobs vanished, wages shrank, and Wall Street was held in nearly universal contempt. Deregulation was out and stimulus was in. The table was better set for progressive ideas than at any time since the Great Depression. Early on, liberals made three calculations that cost them dearly. First, given enough political capital to tackle either sweeping Wall Street reform or sweeping health care reform, but not both, President Obama chose the latter.
Ah! But they manipulate public opinion by having ONLY their views portrayed as mainstream and normal, and employing astroturf and internet concern trolls.

“establishment GOP drones “

Like Juan McCain egging-on Lois Lerner/IRS to persecute TEA party groups.
**** him and the GOP.

I encorage liberals in liberal states to raise taxes and regulations as high as they want. I furthermore encorage them to start giving away money they don’t have like there is no tomorrow, as long as they never ask us to pay for it.

We will take their entrepreneurs and freedom loving patriots into our freer lands to rebuild their industry so forsaken and hated by the left. We have ports, we have land, we have water, we can and are building the most advanced trade infrastructure in the US if not the world. We can host the new American manufacturing and industrial base.

So let your honest hardworking masses yearning to breath and work free come to our land, tell them to leave behind the politics of failure that destroyed their own state, and embrace instead the American concept of equal opportunity to rise and fall on the merits of your own personal choices.
