You said....
“Agree or disagree?”
Agree.
The GOP should, for example, put Detroit front and center of Democratic Party policy
“Republicans need to punch Democrats in the mouth by using a moral language to describe the atrocities they have committed against minorities and the poor.”
I like it.
Like Rush says, “Conservatism wins every time it’s tried.” But the GOPe is too ‘sophisticated’ for that.
They are convinced Conservatism scares people away.
(That’s probably because they don’t care for it themselves.)
I completely agree. The GOP just doesn’t know how to choreograph a battle. They are completely ham-handed.
Do what the left does.
Say what people want to hear , and then do your agenda once in power.
Is it so hard for the GOP ?
Let me put forth a different idea: this was neither hamfisted nor stupid.
Since when has the gop wing of the uniparty been interested in reducing spending or balancing a budget? Did something change during the last week? If your objective is to put forth conservative sounding ideas but not actually implement them, then this is an excellent way to do it.
Agree.
So many agree as evidenced by the frequent call to stand up to the dems.
Just fight back! Fight for us! But the fighters are few and are too frequently sucked into the DC cult of power.
A candidate that will fight and fight hard [punches in the Dem mouth] will do well. eg Cruz.
That characteristic alone, for better or worse, will overcome the potential negatives.
Fight dammit.
Why does it take 10 yrs to achieve anything in DC. If I cut my budget today, it takes effect today.
Since I’m a Senior on SS, widows benefits, as I was a stay at home mom, I’ve seen 2 tiny COLA raises in 5 yrs, half going to Medicare. Which left me with cash for less than a weeks worth of groceries. Which have quadrupled in price.
As I am having to pay for all of one of my meds as Medicare and Tricare Life won’t pay for more than 5 pills once, and I take 2 daily, plus the Holistic vitamin and mineral treatment for Osteoporosis, I’m allergic to the FDA warning OP drugs. And the doctor does not even know if it is working, as Medicare Mandated Bone Density test to every 2 yrs. Same goes for PSA test for men. That is what 0’care did to Medicare. Test I don’t need I can get yearly, test I need yearly I can only get every 2 yrs. DOES NOT COMPUTE.
I generally agree with the article as a whole, but especially like this line. Time after time, the idiot Repubs float a trial balloon of some grand scheme that's gonna deal the Administration a mortal blow, but this only serves to give the other side to mount a publicity campaign against the coup de grace du jour, effectively neutering it. How many weeks ago, for example, did they raise the specter of the lawsuit against Obama over legislative overreach?
Same thing happened with "We're gonna vote to hold Lois Lerner in contempt." Her frickin' refusal to testify was over a year ago, for crying out loud!
Be like Nike: JUST DO IT! and let the chips fall where they may. This is equivalent to pointing a gun at a home invader without having any intention to use it -- a very dangerous practice.
Thank God for the few good men the TEA Party managed to get elected. Ted Cruz is awesome at throwing the argument back and slapping the Dems in the face with it.
Democrats have condemned these children to lives of poverty and hopelessness.
Democrats are not finished yet the plantation has a lot of room left they want voting to be useless and stay in power Fabian socialist have been working on it from 1849.
agree, most of gop leaders need to be replaced. They don’t actually fight back by arguing for Conservative. Maybe because most of them don’t know how to because they’re not Conservative
Its really a matter of perception.
Freepers, conservatives, the base, the Tea Party, or whatever name you choose to use, are not very adept at differentiating between rhetoric and reality.
So when Ryan, Cruz, and/or others say or do things you shouldn't take it at face value or as reality. It is merely rhetoric designed to manipulate you or make you contribute
I guess the thought of being duplicitous just doesn't occur to some people.
Agree. David Horowitz has been saying this and several variations for a long time. He has put out pamphlets, books, seminars telling the GOP how to fight. But it is like the GOP is deaf...oh wait...they have their hands covering their ears...never mind.
Ryan is dumber than Patty Murray.
David Horowitz understands the left much better than any republican politician. He once was a red diaper baby, saw the light and became a staunch conservative. He knows how they work and what their weak points are.
Too bad that our poor excuses for “leaders” don’t take advice from people like him.
When EVER YOU HEAR.......OVER TEN YEARS......prepare for the cowardly BS to sound loud and clear.
Ain’t nobody serving for ten stinking years.
Ain’t no ten year budgets
and Ain’t nobody gonna cut hardly anything NOW.
For fifty years and more Democrats have exercised monopoly control over America’s large inner cities, some of which, like Detroit are 85 percent African American, and all of which are centers of poverty and violent crime. The president’s own city, Chicago, is among them. Everything that is wrong with the inner cities of America that policy can affect, Democrats are responsible for. But Republicans are too polite to mention it.
