Why The GOP Will Bounce Back
Philadelphia Inquirer, by Daniel Cirucci

Original Article

Posted By:RightWriter, 3/15/2013 7:21:03 AM

To paraphrase Mark Twain, the rumors of the death of the Republican Party are greatly exaggerated. Why? One need only look to the past, present, and future to find the answers: The past: The Republican Party is rightly tagged the Grand Old Party (GOP) because it is remarkably resilient. After Franklin D. Roosevelt scored a stunning reelection victory in 1936, the GOP was left with 17 senators and 89 House members. But the party

Based on the extremely strange 2012 election results (nobody voted although the lines were out the door), seems extremely likely obama had the software in the voting machines altered.

If this is the case (and the FEC reports to obama), difficult to see a way out of this mess. Al Gore challenged the 2000 election counts, but seems to be illegal for bad old, racist GOP to do the same.

GOP, tell us how you are going to turn the tide.

I think one of the reason politics runs in cycles is because the parties over reach when they get in office. Bush got no credit for the strong economy and reasonable deficits because it was all overshadowed by the Iraq War.

But I guarantee you you if Bush hadn´t invaded Iraq the left would have ran on him letting the biggest threat in the middle east run roughshod over people.

The Iraq war dragged out because the left in this country gave the militants their support and they rooted for troop deaths.Politics was supposed to stop at the water´s edge but that was thrown out the window in 2004 because Kerry had nothing else to run on.

Pelosi ran on defunding the war in 2006 which gave her the house back but she had no real intention of doing it.The other thing was this scheme the left came up with to present their candidates as independent voices for their district. This was a huge trick that helped them win.

This election was stolen. No one is brave enough to get out there and say so. I really don´t think any of the old guys in the GOP will ever do the right thing again. We need a clean sweep. I see a glimmer of hope with Paul and the other two, sorry forgot their names, but then McCain sure gave Paul the stink eye for filibustering. McCain needs to retire. All of them do. A good start would be Rove.

The GOP must first get a good explanation of why Romney scored 10% of the black vote nationally and didn´t score one single vote in 59 voter precincts in Philadelphia. Events like that also happened in Ohio and Fl. Obama won every state that didn´t require a voter I.D and lost every state that did. Somebody explain that to me.

Not a bad take on the situation. However, the article left out one key point: The Media. Yes, the GOP was down in the past and always bounced back. But in the past, they didn´t have to deal with such an overtly hostile media who is more than happy to shill, lie, and prostitute itself to get Dems elected. There´s also the dumbed-down electorate thats too busy watching reality peep shows to care whats going on and the mess our education system has become along with the voter fraud thats now become the standard.

Despite all of that, it is possible for the GOP to overcome these mountains. But its going to be the Rand Pauls and the Rick Perrys that are going to do it. Not the John McCains or Lindsey Grahams. It going to depend on us, the High-info voters to trump the LoFo´s.

The GOP may have lost and left me, but I have never left conservatism. Get back to a clearly stated, principled defense of the Constitution, free markets, free choice and individual freedom. Hit back twice as hard when DemoRATS strike -take a page from the late great Lee Atwater´s playbook.

DemoRATS think I´m too stupid to live my life on my own, too stupid to make my own choices for my family and me - that´s why they crave centralized control and Big Government. Hammer this point over and over again.

I waited through two elections that ran rinos for the gop to come to its senses (and voted for the gop candidate). But after the last election when the old guard republicans came out and said it was time for the gop to, more or less, embrace the dem platform, I left the party. If you are going to go whacko liberal, why choose the republican party, the dems do it so much better.

The author is forgetting the agenda of the media and their destructive influence. Also the lo-fos which have been weened on he evilness of the Republicans and reinforced by the mocking of the Lib comedians (their main source of information.) These are not small obstacles.

This is not the past. This is the age of high tech cheating, and a media fully in the tank for one party.

The only thing that is keeping us from becoming a third-world cesspool communist dictatorship is a one seat majority on the Supreme Court (which proved in the Øvomitcare fiasco that it is not even dependable in most cases). Once Øvomit gets to flip one or more conservative Supreme Court justices, then this republic will officially be dead.

Add 25,000,000 or so instant new Demon-RAT voters that ´´immigration reform´´ will provide to this once-great nation at the swipe of Øvomit´s pen, and the Republican Party is the only thing that will be history.

Conservatives are carving out media niches of our own to bypass the poisonous MSM. Just heard about the creation of a new 24/7, Fox News-like news outlet called One America News Network. Also heard yesterday that the Koch brothers are interested in purchasing the LA Times newspaper.

Stars Align For Chris Christie
Philadelphia Inquirer, by Daniel Cirucci    Original Article
Posted By: RightWriter- 2/2/2013 9:22:40 AM     Post Reply
Who's running against Chris Christie? No one, it seems. Credible opponents are dropping like Jersey skeeters at the onset of the first frost. Newark Mayor Cory Booker, former acting Gov. Dick Codey, Congressman Bill Pascrell Jr., and Senate President Steve Sweeney have all demurred. That leaves lesser-known State Sen. Barbara Buono. So, as he faces reelection, Christie couldn't have arranged the stars any better. In nearly every poll, he's scoring a solid thumbs-up of 60 to 70 percent or more. Even rabid Democrats in blue, blue Jersey give him high marks.

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

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. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Sen. John McCain says he doesn´t understand the threats from some of his Republican colleagues to filibuster a bill on background checks to buy guns. "I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ... If this issue is as important as we all think it is, why not take ... it up and debate?"

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Vanishing workforce

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

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
