Don’t like the fact that we’re playing the identity politics game five paragraphs in.

Clearly, some people cannot stand prosperity. Don’t have enough adversity in their lives, got to go out and invent some.

The Republican Party is poised on a breakthrough they just do not seem able to steel themselves into acting upon. There is an old saying, strike while the iron is hot, preferably at cherry or straw heat, and you can mold the toughest iron around into just about any shape you want.

In it to win it. Or go home.

The Republicans have the House and the Senate, more Republican Governors, and a Rat pResident...

Now the House and Senate are run ‘behind closed doors’ by the RATS...but look at it this way:

The RAT pResident has single handed destroyed the RAT party, look at who they have running, A killer, A socalist and someone else who doesn't matter...

The Republican Party has 15 candidates, granted some of them are RINOs at best, but the RATS don't have anywhere to go....so they have gloom-ed on to the Republican party so they can hide the fact the RAT party is gone....

The major problem between the GOP/RNC and their voters is that the voters want the illegal alien inundation stopped and they don’t.
They have been paid handsomely to betray the citizens and the rule of law and they will not reverse direction.

For the Republic to survive, the GOP must die.

GOP-RIP

The GOP-e would prefer a Hillary! win to Trump, Cruz, or Carson taking the prize.

Look at the 2012 gubernatorial election in Virginia if you need proof.

Carson is for amnesty, so they’d probably be OK with him.

The VA gov’s race is a prime example of the GOPe undermining their own candidate to put Clinton’s Bag Man in office.

Yes, but we elected faux-republicans by mistake. It is mostly all fake.

Hanson, of course, is wrong here. The new information is that the GOP isn’t conservative. The mask is off, and as such, none of these statistics he sites matters. If the GOP were conservative (and I don’t believe for a second SCOTUS is more conservative than liberal), then this may be worth reading past the second paragraph.

The main problem with the GOPe is that their greed has gotten in their way of doing what is right.

The RNC has failed to see that the revolution has begun. They can be part of it or fall to it.

The revolution is populism. The "little guys" have had enough and they aren't going to take it anymore. This is the manifestation of 1984 and Network.
