| Has the nation gone irreversibly blue? Did intraparty disunity sabotage Mitt Romney's presidential quest? Or is there some other explanation for the nation's re-election of a president with the worst record in decades? I received an email from a brilliant conservative friend who wonders whether Republicans can ever win another election and thus whether the nation is forever lost. I ran into a college student at church the Sunday before the election, and despite his strong conservatism and high intelligence, he admitted confusion about the candidates' respective positions after the presidential debates. My first reaction after the

We have learned that new media, Rush - Fox News - Lucianne.com - Hot Air etc etc - as well as the wealth of popular, conservative books published under Obama's tragic reign - all this has no measurable effect upon an electorate dumbed-down beyond reach. In any appraisal moving forward, that should be lesson #1, despairing as it may be.

Since 1946, and fer shure, since 1960, the Public Schools of America, and practically all non-technical courses in most Colleges have thoroughly espoused the usual lines of Democrat-Socialist instruction, i.e., America is evil, America should feed all the world, give everything to everybody, profits are bad (except for MOC), ad infinitim, ad nauseum.
And as the Great One says, You Don’t Vote Against Santa Claus.
BUT, the Great One, and Fox News, and a very few others, have not only showed us what really went on in the Benghazi Affair, but unfortunately beat that theme to death. No one on our side seems to realize that the Takers and Morons (forgive me, legitimate Medical Morons) not only couldn’t care less about Benghazi, but have not acquired nor want to acquire any idea as to what or where same is; as long as that check(s) arrives and the EBT Card(s) are recharged every month or ten days; forever and ever and ever, these will continue to vote for more of the same. The Santa Complex rides on. Even in Congress.
I see no way out until the Usual Suspects are unable to find any food in Wal-Mart nor in Publix, etc., and then decide to invade the Pantries belonging to the Makers and to You and to the Great One and, lastly, to the MOC and to SCOTUS and to Big Sis— at that point the fur will fly. The United Socialist State of America will go under Martial Law and then under a Dictatorship, very possibly during Lord 0’s Third or Fourth Terms..... Perhaps Comrade Putin will come to our rescue.

Mr. Limbaugh, the Party is already irrevocably splintered. We've held our nose for the last time. Mr. Romney may very well have turned out to be the greatest President who ever lived, but he was unfortunately not a great candidate. The combination of republican "leadership", a next man on the torem poll succession program, a take no prisoners in your approach to winning the Primary, but not the General election makes surrender seem like a reasonable approach. Sometimes the house has to be torn down to be rebuilt. That clearly is the case if the GOP is to recapture the conservative support again.

I'm only allowed to give a limited amount of money to any particular candidate. But if I were an entertainer, I could pretty much run hours-long commercials disguised as amusement. If I were a teacher, I could lecture my students, intimidate them, brainwash them and humiliate them for hours and hours and hours until they succumb. Put that together with a corrupt media and you've made toast.
Until these things change, we're never going to win. Young people eventually become old people, learn hard lessons and become conservative, but the supply of young people to vote democrat is endless.
WAKE UP Republicans! You can't even make a decent bumpersticker. THIS is how you're losing.
It's the sexy, stupid.

Not time for surrender. Not time to contemplate our navels, either. It's time for fundamental political reorganization and restructuring. Time to stop listening to the know-it-all "experts" who have led us to this point.
So tell us, David - and others - what precisely must we do? Listen to the party Elites and be happy? It's clear the Elites do not want to listen to us - and they run the party. No, David. It's time to recognize our "irreconcilable differences" and dissolve the marriage. Its time for the conservative message to be unfiltered by the political know-it-all's. It may be a losing proposition in the short run, but it's our only hope in the long run. A house divided cannot stand. That includes the Republican party.

The Republican Party, and the USA, both died on November 6, 2012. It was a last stand for both, and we lost.
There are at least 11,000,000 illegals in this country (possibly double that) that will get citizenship before the 2014 congressional and gubinitorial elections. They will all vote Demon-RAT as ''thanks'' for that wonderful gift. That will automatically turn all red states blue.
Game over. Surrender complete. One party (lie-beral socialist Demon-RATS) with no checks or balances for whatever time this country has left.
They get their ''Socialist Paradise'' on the rotting corpse of the former USA. The rest of us get Hell on Earth and sad memories of the greatness this country once stood for.
And when that ''Socialist Paradise'' implodes under it's own weight, the only question is what language our new overseers will speak -- Spanish, Chinese or Arabic...

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it. It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
