No. I do not want to bet. Just remember and then when it happens give me due. If it does not I will gladly say You were right. What do you predict will happen? I just see all the indicators falling in to place. Prediction please!

This nation is doesn't even have several years. It's time to tale a flyer on the rabbit, the turtle will never make it to the finish line alive.

Take a breath and get a grip. If Jeb Bush runs and wins the nomination, all leftists and Democrats pee on themselves and make utter fools of themselves in “Bush Derangement Syndrome”. They won’t be able to even be sensient, and the coattails of GWBush who won more votes for president than ANY previous president (or Obama) will prevail. Let your thoughts include victory.

We obviously still have a steaming pile of “Republicans” who need to get flushed down the toilet.
I suppose it was too much to ask for a full return to sanity after just one election.

I’m still on the fence over this vote. It sounds like they want to target specific programs, rather than just do an across the board cut of all. This could actually be good if they want to defund programs such as NPR, for example, rather than just cut funding for it. I could be wrong, but this is my take on it.

I should clarify my previous post. If they want to totally defund NPR, which would put it out of business, it is far better to do that than to allow it to operate with some federal funds. Like I said, this is my take on it.

Doubt that any Bush can win again, and especially a RINO that is he##-bent on promoting amnesty for the invaders from the south. If Jeb is the nominee, conservative people will stay home. And there are a LOT of us conservative people.

I don't believe that it will be Jeb Bush, but, I do believe that it will be an Establishment Republican such as John Mc Cain or Mitt Romney.And they,Establishment Republicans, will tell us to like it or lump it. I, personally, will lump it.

The Conservatives missed a golden opportunity when, immediately after the election, they saw, whether they chose to recognize it or not, the contempt that the Establishment Republicans held them , and they did not, using the Tea Party as their cadre, reorganize into a separate linty from the Republican Party.Would this cause the formation of a third party? No, It would cause the Liberal wing of the Republican Party to unite with the Republican Party, hence, there would still be two parties:Conservatives and Socialists.

But since they did not do that they will be absorbed and neutralized by the Establishment Republicans.

I have maintained from day one obama will be re-elected. My reasoning? The Globalists, Socialists,main stream media,and, unless they can get one of their own elected, the Republican Party want him in Office because he is accomplishing their goals.

The time for the Conservative movement to either crap or get off the pot is rapidly drawing near. A/k/a/ as time is running out.

Cantor et al voted with Pelosi, Hoyer, Rangel, etc.
