| Election Postmortem: Some in the GOP have taken to trashing 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney for recent comments he made about his loss.(Snip) Using the divide-and-conquer tactics of Saul Alinsky, Obama successfully exploited age, income, class, race and ethnic divisions to the detriment of Republicans, while smearing Romney as an uncaring, rapacious Wall Street capitalist who murdered a steel worker´s wife. But sure, GOP, pile on Romney, who also remarked that Obama was "very generous" to African Americans, Hispanics and young voters. So why does this offend? It´s so obviously true it shouldn´t need defending.

Why else vote for Obama after the last 4 years? Romney ran a darned good campaign…great adds, great debate performances, great running mate, great message, and he worked his heart out. But besides trillions in “gifts” for votes to select groups, he was constantly pummeled with negative media coverage including conservative commentators (...anyone but Romney…not connecting…too vague…too much detail…and on and on every day) not to mention those clowns he had to deal with during the primary and then Gov Christy’s ridiculous performance. He couldn’t win. And what a loss for our country.

Mitt was of the old guard. But now the people have learned that they may vote themselves into the possession of free goodies. And so America enters into a third chapter in her history: The age of the free lunch, paid for by the alchemists at the Federal Reserve.

Romney was one hundred per cent correct. Too bad some in this party are okay with throwing Romney under the bus. Yes, Obama bought votes, what part of that do Jindal, Gingrich, Santorum , etc. not get.

Patriot Mantra for days ahead: Putting Family First and ‘First Family’ last
- Judi McLeod Monday, November 19, 2012
Upsetting Barack Obama’s little red wagon, impeding America’s race toward the abyss depends on seeing clearly through Obama’s masterful Marxist use of perception.
The Obama Regime successfully creates the public perception that its power is absolute; that the recent election awarded them majority rule; that there is no way on earth to stop Obama from making good on what he has said he is going to do.
Even with all the lies, astroturfing and sheer bravado perfecting perception, shattering its myth is possible because for all of its boasts, perception is 1% reality and 99% abstract.
Now that he’s got his second term, the perception works to keep American citizens in a Saul Alinsky-designed depression because so many of them have already fallen for the spin that America has been captured; that the entire American citizenry are now trapped like flies in a bottle which Obama has tightly capped.
Everyone positing that America is dead and that Americans are finished are doing precisely what Obama wants: spreading a message of hopelessness and despair.

#1 is right. If only the GOP had united in message and gone out there after Romney´s conference call and dared any media twit to disagree. (I didn´t think leaking Mitt´s call was a good move but he WAS right about the gifts.). Our side will not get anywhere until our candidate can teach, explain conservative principles with clarity.

To Gov´s Christy, Jindal, Rep. Gingrich,and the rest of the vocal junkies of the Nattering-Nabob class,
From a quasi-quote of a really bad liberal today, Lee Iaccoca, "Lead, Follow, or Shut-up" and Regan´s Commandment:" Thou shall not speak against a fellow REPUBLICAN!!!"
Are we looking forward to 2014 or dreading the chance to get the truth out and win?

The time is NOW for the Tea Party to rise, put up candidates for the Senate in 2014 then put up candidates for both Houses and the Presidency in 2016.
The time to start is now but based on the whining and crying going on I have no faith that enough Patriots will rise to the occasion.
Oh yes, people get fired up but then they don´t show up to where they should be.
It is almost like the phrase I once heard. The reason people don´t make money is because they are too busy making a living. That also speaks to why we don´t have a positive government.

He offered the opportunity to maybe come off the welfare "handout" line and get a job and improve your life. Simple concept at work here. If you tell someone that you are going to give them things that will enable them to do nothing and have a HUD home, a food credit card and can walk into any emergency room in the U S for a cold, and get care...what would you do? You would vote for the giver of the gifts. About half of the population wants more than the minimum given by t he giver. They want to work up the ladder not set at the bottom looking up screaming at those going up accusing them of being rich. I have a home, food, a car and a job (for now). Those receivers of the gift say that makes me rich. No, I am not rich...I am one of the millions who work hard everyday so the great giver can take my money and throw it down the ladder to bribe those who refuse to climb, to accept crumbs, and vote so the great giver can keep them in crumbs. It is not about the aging, or children with handicap needs who no one minds working to help. It is about the 16 to 45 year olds who have babies to get more money, walk around with their gel nails, cell phones and attitudes who would rather take crumbs than get off their you know what and show up to work. Romney was not wrong in anting to help people come up...the problem?...people have to want to improve their lives...those that don´t, voted for the giver of the crumbs..

For Hongyu, the idea her son might duff his first tee shot was not a concern. Everything else was.

Singer Beyonce and Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter traveled to Cuba “pursuant to an educational exchange trip” organized by an authorized company, the U.S. Treasury Department said in response to inquiries from Florida lawmakers. The trip by the celebrity couple spurred widespread media coverage after two U.S. representatives from Florida, Republicans Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart, asked the Treasury who approved the travel and for what purpose. U.S. law prohibits financial transactions for tourist activities in Cuba to prevent funding of the government, which controls the industry. The Treasury permits visits for educational reasons.

Lee, along with Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas), told Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) two weeks ago that a GOP filibuster would stop any gun legislation from moving forward on a 60-vote threshold procedural motion.

These are trying times. Never in the history of this country have we been so weakened and polarized by what many view as deliberate government policy. Now anti-gunners in the U.S. Congress, the Obama administration, and legislatures across the country are seeking to exploit the Newtown tragedy to promote their “gun control” agenda that envisions federal, universal background checks on gun purchases, and that could lead to gun registration and confiscation. At the same time, the increasing militarization of law enforcement, most visibly demonstrated by the growing use of massive, SWAT-type raids on businesses and individuals, sometimes with federal

Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius conceded Monday that implementing the Affordable Care Act has been more complicated and frustrating than the Obama administration expected, largely due to Republicans who have opposed the law´s state-based exchanges and Medicaid expansion. "The politics has been relentless and that continues," Sebelius said. "There was some hope that once the Supreme Court ruled in July, and then once an election occurred there would be a sense that, ´This is the law of the land, let´s get on board, let´s make this work.´"
