Are There Any Heroes Left in the Republican Party ?
Understand the Stimulus | December 23 2012 | Understand the Stimulus

What the republicans and their supporters don't understand is that Obama is playing them as if they are opponents in a "playground basketball game" where intimidation, trash talking, humiliation, and below the belt blows are the predominant rap of the winning team

Nothing better demonstrates this simple analysis than the following quote:

"At one point, according to notes taken by a participant, Mr. Boehner told the president, "I put $800 billion [in tax revenue] on the table. What do I get for that?" "You get nothing," the president said. "I get that for free."

Sarah Palin is a Hero—so too Newt Gingrich, Rand Paul is one—when the time comes there will be right thinking Republicans come forward! BUT Until that time we must re-form the Tea Party to tackle the elections of 2014 & 2016. We need good conservatives in the state houses, congress and senate, the counties, the school boards, mayors and councilmen (and councilwomen). We may have lost the battle—but not the war! Its Like Chancellorsville in the Civil War—its not Gettysburg and it sure isn’t Appomattox. Lots more fighting to do—and the victory is in no way determined.

Without a party explicitly wedded to conservative values (even allowing for a range of beliefs on social issues), America is a left-center country.

The Republican Party leadership treats conservatives as though they were a faction, and no longer the driving intellectual and moral force behind the GOP. Until that changes, Democrats will dominate. If conservatives are to retake the Republican Party, the first step is readily apparent. Boehner, et al. must go.

That said, “our” side is for sending American jobs overseas?

WTH is wrong with this?

Bring back American jobs. Now.

And he signed into law the Deficit Control Act of 2011, better known as the fiscal cliff.

Where were you when the GOP-e undermined, lambasted and chased off every conservative party member?

they can easily attack Obama's economic policies with a refusal to increase the Debt Ceiling.

It seems to me that Obama wants to force us to shut the government down by refusing to lift the debt ceiling.

I wonder if he thinks that he will then use an executive order to continue government operations and override the congress. The supreme court will be overridden also as necessary for the good of the country.
He can then dispense with the annoying separation of powers theories.

"I put $800 billion [in tax revenue] on the table. What do I get for that?" "You get nothing," the president said. "I get that for free."

That isn't a check you all send to the IRS in April.

That's your white flag of unconditional surrender.

Way back, b4 WWII, a visiting official asked (regarding Chesty Puller) how many more the Marine Corps had like him?

The reply was quick and short...One! Just the one!

Likewise, the R party had only one...Dr Ron Paul, just The One!

B-HO’s soul has been owned by Satan for a long time. He is on a mission to destroy our nation. He is being allowed to do so. Honorable citizens do not have representation in the U.S. government. We are simply not being represented. There is nothing we can do about it. Our republic is over.

“Have their souls been purchased by Satan?”

No; their souls belonged to Satan on the day(s) they were born. They simply have chosen to stay on the Dark Side by rejecting Goodness. Satan definitely is controlling them — perhaps even possessing some of ‘em.

With all due respect, Palin had her opportunity, and now that opportunity is gone. I'm sure she had her reasons for not running (family, the left’s savage attacks etc.). I guess she also thought that going on Hannity and preaching to choir, and posting stuff on Twitter would be equal to her running; well, it wasn't.

No disrespect, simply the truth. The Libs do not fear Palin now, the way they did when they believed she might run for the presidency.
