| Finding a silver lining for Republicans in Tuesday night’s presidential election loss might seem like a tall order. But if there is one,Washington Post columnist George Will said, it will be the inevitable rise of Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. Following ABC’s declaration of President Barack Obama’s re-election, Will explained that the GOP will look to Rubio to lead the party and expand its demographic appeal. Obama “did close with a kick and both sides fought a gallant fight,” Will said. “Mitt Romney had a problem — I think Nicole [Wallace], you were talking about.

Enough already, so Rubio will be the savior of the GOP because of his ethnic background? Who will be the savior of the country now that over half vote for more entitlement spending and punishment for those who have worked hard that are considered the evil rich?

I do think Rubio is a special person. He is a deeply faithful Christian & can re-position the party as the home for people of faith...
No one was able to stop the MSM from labelling the GOP as the 1%, racist homophobic selfish pigs who hate women.
Christianity crosses all racial, sex & age boundaries. A Rubio could define us.
Our platform needs to be narrowed down & clearly defined by US not the MSM/Progressives.

Either we believe in the Constitution or we don't. Why are so many talking Rubio up like he walks on water? He's not a natural born citizens and, therefore, is not elgible to run for president. The same goes for Bobby Jindal. Both men are strong leaders and have a lot to offer the country, but neither are natural born citizens. Yet, our side keeps running them up the flagpole. I don't get it!

Rubio might help the GOP with the Latino demographic, but how is the GOP going to recapture thE rest of us who held their nose for the last time? Rubio isn't going to do it...
The GOP is still going to be led by the same brilliant engineers who gave us McCain and then Mitt the Electable. We'll still be stuck with Boehner as Speaker, who'll now roll over and over to let Obama do want he wants, and Harry Reid in the Senate, eating Mitch mconnel for lunch each day.
The only winners ast night were the Unions, the Insurance Companies, and are enemies hear and abroad.

Face it: Rubio is a white guy whose ancestors came from Spain and settled in Cuba for a generation or two. He has nothing in common with the neckless homunculus who cuts your grass or busses your table.

I don't think Rubio's the answer, even if having an hispanic presidential candidate would broaden the GOP's appeal to hispanics. Here's why: Romney lost, bigtime, among non-Cuban Hispanics. Look at Orlando: in 2012, non-Cuban hispanics turned Orlando area to Obama. The hispanic demo is baby-booming, and the GOP's ethic of strict enforcement of enforcing immigration law is a non-starter for them.
Romney got every white vote he could. Where do we go from here?

#8, neither Rubio's nor Jindal's parents were citizens at time of their birth, thus they fail on NBC. Not that it matters anymore with the reelected occupant of the WH, who is either half-Kenyan or of illegitmate birth.
Rubio is inexperienced at the executive level and will not be running from the Senate. I predict Linebacker Moochelle will be running in 2016, just like wives succeed husbands in Peronist Argentina.

Nicole Wallace? Why does anyone listen to her or George Will? If the the Republicans go for identity politics, they will lose every time. If the party can't put out a conservative message and stick to it, they might as well disband.

In 4 years this country will be in such a mess, no Republican will want the job.
Lots of things don't make sense today. How can we have such a horrible 2012 when 2010 was so successful? Was it like with Clinton, the Republican congress saved him from himself? Not exactly - I think we have too many that want free stuff. It is that simple - and totally frightening.
I am sickened today and probably will be for a very long time. No silver lining in sight.

Will, shut up. You've been ConservativeLite for some time now. Rubio's solution for Conservatives was to "reach out" to minorities more, you know, with free stuff! And people like you don't even begin to realize how racist remarks like that really are. Because, you know, unless you pander to those "other races", you don't win.
Rubio would be a nightmare as a president, that is becoming clear.

#18 -- While I absolutely despise Nicole Wallace and have little to no use for George Will...we have to do two thins SIMULTANEOUSLY...market/share our conservative message AND get that message into "identify politics," i.e., the "white vote" is shrinking and the Hispanic vote, (and other ethnic groups) is expanding. If we don't actively go after our group with our message, we concede them and we'll never win another national election.
And, of course, there's the ongoing problem of the leftist mainstream press, which I maintain has actually grown in power and consolidated it's point of view, and then there's the unions. Put all of this together and it's a very steep hill to climb.

XXIII, buy some bandwidth for the hostess and not that the professional Romney enthusiasts, cheerleaders and syncophants have stopped ringing bells,stopped looking to the western sky and gradually stop questioning the motivations of those who viewed a rockefeller-Bush-Ford-Weld blue blood liberal with suspicion.
There were doors to knock, phones to call, hemingway short stories to puff.
But at least we weren't brainwashed.
And as they say about teaching a pig to whistle...

This morning from The Washington Post’s Kathleen Parker: "Breaking news: Conservative organizations suddenly have found common cause with one of their favorite objects of contempt — the benighted Mainstream Media ... Or as the tea party queen and former Alaska governor likes to put it, the ‘lamestream media.’ In a twist of irony, the two groups have coalesced around a common enemy: the U.S. government.” (Snip) But truth be told, there would be no Tea Party today had there not been a Sarah Palin to egg it on and advance it.

Sarah Palin said Friday that the elite media would never let a Republican president get away with what Barack Obama has done in his push for new gun laws. The former Alaska governor recalled that the national press “tore apart” George W. Bush for using “fleeting images” from Sept. 11, 2001, during his 2004 reelection campaign. At the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting, Palin slammed Obama for flying the grieving parents of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Air Force One and then “making them backdrops” at rallies. “That same media is now the reliable poodle-skirted cheerleader

The Pentagon has released a statement confirming that soldiers could be prosecuted for promoting their faith: "Religious proselytization is not permitted within the Department of Defense...Court martials and non-judicial punishments are decided on a case-by-case basis...”. The statement, released to Fox News, follows a Breitbart News report on Obama administration Pentagon appointees meeting with anti-Christian extremist Mikey Weinstein to develop court-martial procedures to punish Christians in the military who express or share their faith.(From our earlier report: Weinstein is the head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and says Christians--including chaplains--sharing the gospel

To say that Sarah Palin shook things up by taking to Twitter to express her displeasure at the nonchalant nose-rubbing going on at the White House Correspondent´s Dinner Saturday night would be an understatement. It doesn´t matter who you are. If you watched the White House Correspondent´s Dinner and simultaneously possessed one shred of passion for the future of our country with regards to crony capitalism and corruption, it´s pretty easy to determine the overwhelming consensus of the event. The media is supposed to exist to hold these people accountable. Instead, they choose to play

The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings should not be treated as an enemy combatant, Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said Sunday morning. “I do not believe under the military commission law that he is eligible for that. It would be unconstitutional to do that,” Feinstein said on “Fox News Sunday.” Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the sole surviving suspect in last Monday’s bombings, was taken into custody Friday. Federal officials said they plan to use a public safety exception to delay reading Tsarnaev his "Miranda" rights.

Mainstream media publications immediately exploited the passing of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on Monday to again advance their political agendas by falsely smearing former Alaska Gov. and Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. In a rush to write whatever they could to tarnish both, outlets like Politico and the Washington Post resorted to "reporting" on a fictitious story and an imaginary trip that have already been debunked years ago. The Post, a publication known for its liberal agenda, immediately "re-upped" the debunked story about Thatcher having snubbed Palin when Chris Cillizza,

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate, is gearing up for 2014. Her SarahPAC came out with a video on Wednesday aimed at fueling the conservative fires for a dramatic comeback in the midterm elections. The “Loaded for Bear” video features tea party favorite Sen. Ted Cruz talking of Mrs. Palin’s successes in the 2010 election that saw the rise of Sens. Marco Rubio, Rand Paul and Jeff Flake, Breitbart reports. “Sarah Palin picks winners,” Mr. Cruz says in the video. And the statement does hold truth. Former Sen. Jim DeMint,

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
