Hey, Look at How the
Obama Machine Crushed
the Romney Campaign

PJ Media, by Bryan Preston

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 1/25/2013 2:49:11 PM

The most effective email subject line of the 2012 US presidential campaign began with one word: Hey. That’s the finding of the massive Obama campaign operation known as “The Cave.” That and many other startling findings are detailed in a report on how the Obama campaign went about re-electing a president who boasted a record of failure and divisiveness. The Cave was to US politics what the Hubble Space Telescope would have been to Neanderthals: An advancement so profound that it verges on magic. It was also a very non-traditional approach to politics, in that it

Comments:
When I read articles like this it makes me weep tears of frustration. The GOP had better get up to speed with current technology and fight as ruthlessly as the DNC or we are doomed to lose every upcoming election. Where did those millions of dollars go that were sent to the Romney campaign?? It´s outrageous that they were so incompetent.

republicans lost because they nominated an establishment, political class nominee in Romney.

a 65 year old investment banker whose father ran against Nixon and has never had a beer" sheer brilliance

cant say much about a party who lost twice to a lightweight like 0bama.

I´m not convinced. I´m not talking about voter fraud here, I´m just saying they are claiming they had this incredible machine that targeted voters, yet their numbers went down compared to 2008. So the only thing that saved them was that Republicans didn´t vote. How is that a strategy? And why were they so sure about it?

I am a fossil. I hated it when the Romney campaign called us and e mailed us and called us and e mailed us........I will never again donate to a political campaign. It destroyed the peace and quiet of our household. It did NOT make us more or less likely to vote and we would not care if Romney had employed an Obamalike campaign making us feel like EVERYBODY was doing it. Perhaps that´s the difference between being grown-up and an adolescent but I don´t care. In the end Romney supporters were not adolescents. I´m not sure that´s a bad thing.

Romney is a great nominee and great guy.

As Ann Coulter has observed...
If the 2012 voters had been as white as the 1980 voters, Romney´s victory would have
outpaced Reagan´s 1980 stunner.

The demographics have changed.
We have a nation of whiners and losers who want to suck off Uncle Sam.

We do have to find out the best way to get voters to the polls.
We can still win.
But the game is changing each time.

Also the self-righteous who dump on the GOP gave us DimWitz Houses that passed Obamacare.
Keep the GOP in control in the House, and no more Obamacares.
But that would be practical and logical.

More fun to be spiteful and cast blame.
More fun to live under a Wannabe Kommie Dicktater, too... right?

The Kommie Obie WON Kenya-Obie is better than Romney.
Isn´t he? .... s/o

Download The Cave and flip through it. Takes less time than you think, but the strategy and tactics will be a lot clearer. It focuses on fundraising from people with money and weak minds. I guess there are a lot of those in America.

A year and change that all the GOP contenders spent slinging cesspool goo and sharp objects at each other sure helped nothing when the last man left standing had to face the Teflon coated opposition who has all of his laundries sealed and full backing from the media.

That was an absolutely brilliant PARTY STRATEGY for political suicide.

2, I think there was a disinformation campaign that convinced a lot of people that Romney was going to be a shoo-in.

No amount of rhetoric, demagoguery and lies works on informed voters. Too bad we don´t have very many of those.

Yes, there was voter fraud. So that wasn´t new - can you say Al Franken? It doesn´t take away from some of the facts in the article.

We just turned Michigan into a "right to work" state, same with Indiana. And we´ve had stellar success in Wisconsin. Texas is doing very well economically. Louisiana, North Carolina. Arizona has it´s budget balanced . . .

I don´t think the GOP is in disarray. But at a national level, we seem to become easily distracted by the media in particular.

I´m not sure what to think of this organization. I can´t rule out vote fraud simply as a way to allow them to measure up to the stats that this group generates. Seeing all those Republican poll watchers forcibly removed from their posts in Pennsylvania makes it impossible to doubt the possibility of a corrupt election.

Democrats only needed to win by a small margin. This organization might have helped them target the weak spots where the fraud was needed.

The GOP does need more computer geeks.

There is something wrong with this picture.
In 2008 Zippy was like fly poop all over the place with Styrofoam Greek columns and emails nonstop from moveon asking for $5.

This time he could only make time to schmooze at high price dinners while the Wookie jumping jacked her way from one TV stage to another.

The bottom line is more voters turn out to vote than registered voters. Who is up in arms about voter fraud ? Certainly not Mitt.

Impeaching President
Obama is a waste of time
Washington Times, by Eric Golub    Original Article
Posted By: KarenJ1- 5/22/2013 1:49:25 PM     Post Reply
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Several days ago some fringe “conservatives” mentioned the idea of impeaching President Obama. For reasons as obvious as they are numerous, that is a terrible idea. Saying that is like throwing chum out to the worst conservatives, the ones who act like liberals, the ones who are all angry instinct, who rather than strategize their way to victory would rather sweep the pieces off the table and throw a tantrum on the floor. Serious and effective conservatism demands putting facts and reason above emotion and hysteria. Some comments concerning potential impeachment are so

   

 

  


 
Reid: D.C. court needs Obama
nominees for ideological balance

Sen. Harry Reid said Wednesday that he will push to confirm more judges to the federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., after that court ruled earlier this year that President Obama’s broad use of recess appointment powers was unconstitutional. “You have a majority in that court that is wrecking havoc in the country. For the first time in 230 years, they ruled the president can’t make a recess appointment, so yes there is a crisis,” Mr. Reid, the chamber’s leader, said on the Senate floor as he begged for quick action on more of the president’s judicial nominees.

Mayor Bloomberg went on a spitting-mad rant against a city cab-fleet boss who won a court victory over Hizzoner’s planned “Taxi of Tomorrow” — vowing to “destroy your f--king industry” when he leaves office, The Post has learned. A fuming Bloomberg made the threat against Taxi Club Management CEO Gene Freidman at Madison Square Garden’s private 1879 Club during last Thursday’s Knick playoff game, a witness said yesterday. “It was like Gene had kidnapped his child. He used the f-word twice,” the witness said. Freidman confirmed the blow-up to The Post, and said Bloomberg’s tirade included the warning that,

According to Republican Rep. Jim Jordan and White House visitor logs, former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman visited the White House 118 times in 2010 and 2011. This is the same time period when Tea Party groups were inappropriately targeted and intimidated by the IRS. Testifying in front of lawmakers on Capitol Hill Wednesday, Shulman admitted that many of the meetings with the White House were to discuss how to implement ObamaCare. "The IRS has a major roll in the money flow," Shulman said. Shulman denied ever discussing 501c(4) groups with White House officials

Secretary of State John Kerry reminded employees at the U.S. Embassy in Muscat, Oman, of the terror attack in Benghazi but said they need to keep proving to the world “that you don’t have to hate people.” Kerry was in the sultanate to facilitate the inking of a $2.1 billion arms and missile defense system deal with Raytheon and the Omani government. “This system, which has been selected by the Sultanate of Oman following a thorough evaluation and assessment process, offers high levels of effectiveness, capable of meeting the operational requirements of the

Former Rep.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.
