Ya gotta get the base to care. It’s not enough to get a bigger base according to passive polling. If it was, Mitt would have mopped the floor with Barack.
He thinks we should elect more Dede Scozzafavas!
Little point in playing a rigged game ....other than to continue to lend legitimacy....
I didn’t hear much on specifics as to how to get out the message better and counter the rats and the MSM. Train the caucus on the talking points? That’s it?
Newt is right but Republicans don’t listen to conservatives like him.
Have you noticed how the attention of the Democrat "mainstream" news media is focused entirely on what the Republicans will "give up"; what the Republicans will cave on? (Naturally, the Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms are pushing the GOP to commit party suicide by agreeing to otherwise thoroughly meaningless, drop-in-the-bucket tax hikes.) But what, exactly, are the rats bringing to the table? An agreement to "slow the rate of spending growth"? Wow, big whup.
Meanwhile, NOT... ONE... WORD... from the Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms about how much of the socialist welfare state Ubama and the rats are willing to give up to get a deal done. No matter WHAT the Republicans do, the newsrooms will make sure they get full blame for both the mean spending "cuts" AND the tax hikes! The rats have nothing at stake! What's to "negotiate"?
Talk about a lose/lose situation for the GOP.... Whew.
Absolutely the best thing that can happen is to go over the "fiscal cliff". The Republicans at this point should be strategizing how to make sure Ubanga and the rats catch as much of the blame as possible. The PR game starts YESTERDAY for the Republicans, and they are already playing catch-up - - the rats have been working on it all along. And now is the time for Republicans to go nuclear - - I mean, Ubanga is taking off for vacation in Hawaii while the nation is on the brink of economic calamity? That's some "leadership" there...
By the way, an added bonus for refusing to cave to the rats to strike a deal is that the GOP House will then get the chance to wrap the upcoming debt ceiling debate around Ubanga's neck. They can, each and every Republican, take to the House floor and recite word for word, Ubama's own position on the debt ceiling:
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a Sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. ...Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that 'the buck stops here'. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and Grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
- SENATOR BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA (MARCH 2006)
BTTT
Newt would be right (( IF )) this wasn’t true...
For two years(2010) the House republicans have financed every single program of Obama..
They did it on purpose knowing they could cut him off at the knees financially.. BUT DIDN’T...
The republican congress have supported Obama NOT opposed him..
To think anything has changed you must be a moron..
There is only one problem: the GUTLESS Republicans in both houses do not have the will or the tenacity necessary to do the right thing. They will instead play “politics” and “compromise” with Obamessiah and the democRATS because the overwhelming majority of Republicans in both houses are corrupt and care more about their position and power than they do the country or defending the Constitution of the United States.
how bad does it have to get before people wake up?
We’re lucky to have at least one brain in D. C. - Newt. Now if the rest of the weenies would listen to him and get tough with Zero and the Democrats.
When Newt says “Republicans in the House”, he means the whiner. Time to grow a set Boehner, you are going to need them the next 4 years.
