| Psst! Somebody tell Reince Priebus about the blogosphere. Evidently, neither he nor anyone else at the RNC understands the new information order the internet has wrought. William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection, a site which regularly breaks new ground in coverage of politics (see for example LI´s coverage of Elizabeth Warren´s phony claims of Cherokee ancestry when it gave her a leg up in academia) discovered that the 100 page exercise in navel-gazing just published by the RNC does not once even mention blogs:

The RNC will continue to be represented by incompetent drones like priebus and steele because anyone who can communicate effectively about conservative positions is a threat to the country clubbers. Time to purge the party or start a new one.

How clueless? Totally clueless. Doing the same thing over and over again then reaching out to the illegal immigrants (democrat voters) is suicide.
Apparently Priebus doesn´t listen to Rush but then Rush is too far right and the base is too radical so become demlites.
Nice plan RNC.

You have to ask?
The RNC wants second-class citizenship. They are number two, they like being number two, they intend to stay number two.
The RNC has chosen to be Democrat Lite (less taste, more filling).
They want the votes of that 30% independent sector. The Conservatives can just go away. The RINOS apparently want to join the Whigs (remember them)?
These guys are a lost cause.
They have no idea about freedom, individual liberty, or individual responsibility. They are pathetic.

Utterly and completely. No question about it. Just look at the comments here and where the article was posted. This report was written for DC elite insider types.
The GOP is determined to be liked even if it kills them, and it will. Feckless, the lot of them.

I finally did it. Yesterday as I read the usual blah, blah, blah from Reince and his nu-inspiring money grabbers at the RNC, I decided I had enough. I unsubscribed from their gop website. Gone are the days they took me for granted. Much like the dems view minorities. But, in my case, I left the gop plantation.
Gone Independent (Conservative) Reince. see ya. Like many other Conservatives who feel similarly, you now have to earn my vote.
Please understand, I am willing to go all in...either way. Maybe win with the likes of me, if the "leadership" can change direction to the right. If not, you have no chance of winning without me.
Earn my vote. What can you do for me?

Did Barack Obama in effect steal the election in 2012? It is impossible to know, of course, how matters would have played it if Americans had been told the truth about Benghazi. And what if the IRS had not hobbled conservative nonprofits (and therefore the movement) with extra scrutiny and consequent delay and expenses? But there can be no doubt that Obama helped himself by being able to claim that Al Qaeda was "on the run" and with an assist from Candy Crowley make Mitt Romney look bad on when he criticized Obama´s anti-terror policies.

The re-election of Barack Obama is the high water mark and the end of an era. The period 1960 to 2014 will go down in American history as the era of never-ending crusades leading to the decline and potential downfall of the United States. During this time frame America has been inundated with one cause after another. The essential civil rights movement and the tragically successful Viet Nam protests spawned numerous causes, among them: feminism, environmentalism, global warming, and gay rights. For each generation born after 1940 it has been a rite of passage

The Three Whistleblowers at the Benghazi hearing spoke softly, but with the emotional wallop of The Three Tenors. They told the truth, and it blasted like thunder through Obama´s tissue palace of lies. Listening to these strong, solemn men, I heard the sound of old America: a place of hardworking people who love their country and believe in something bigger than their own power. (snip) But today, their America is forced to serve a different god: a cold, smiling man with a hollow heart and hands that get bloodier by the day.

Barack Obama´s "Tower of Fabrications," as Peter Wehner describes the Benghazi scandal, is beginning to crack. And that crack will soon reveal a central figure behind the cover-up, a man close to Barack Obama for years but generally unknown to the public: Ben Rhodes. Rhodes has risen from being an obscure and failed fiction writer to formulating foreign and national security policy for Obama precisely because he is willing to his superiors´ bidding regardless of facts. He has a history of using whatever talents he has with the pen to do so.

A lengthy criminal investigation of the son of prominent Congressman Chaka Fattah is underway in Philadelphia. It is always a bad thing to have the feds looking into throwing you in the slammer, but if it´s going to happen, then it really helps to have blood ties to the Democratic Machine. They know how to shake money out of trees. (snip) Former Gov. Ed Rendell and former Mayor W. Wilson Goode have launched a fund-raising effort to pay the legal bills of U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah´s son, who has been under federal investigation for months.

On Sunday, four bereaved women will be facing their first Mother´s Day without their beloved sons, who were murdered in Benghazi last September 11. Will Hillary Clinton be thinking of them this Mother´s Day? And if she were to send the Benghazi Moms a Mother´s Day card, would it say, "What Difference at This Point Does It Make"? Clinton herself may well have made a difference -- a life-or-death difference. Evidence is mounting that Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens, staffer Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods could be alive

Rush Limbaugh casually mentioned the fact in the wake of the new Benghazi revelations that Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the Christian producer of the much-discussed video, the Innocence of Muslims, was "somewhere in California." He is not. In its wisdom, the U.S. Department of Justice decided to bury him in Anthony, Texas, a largely Hispanic town at the very westernmost tip of West Texas. Mr. Nakoula resides there at the Federal Correctional Institution -- La Tuna and will continue to do so until August 26, 2013. (snip) the Feds don´t want him talking, and so the further from a media

The thread is starting to unravel on the fabric of lies surrounding the Benghazi 911 incident woven by the president, his secretary of state, and their political appointees. An important step is that ABC News has broken the story that the talking points fingering mobs enraged by the video were the result of no less than 11 revisions taking out references to Al Qaeda. This brings the MSM into the story. Even MSNBC was covering ABC´s story this morning.

The left is going into irrational overdrive because the Koch brothers may buy the LA Times: "Common Cause, Daily Kos, Free Press and Courage Campaign are among the groups protesting the sale to the conservative financiers, calling them "radical right wing ideologues." A sale of the company is considered imminent." We hear that "half" of the staff will quit! I guess that must be the "half" of the staff still working there after all of the job cuts in recent years.

Dylan Byers of Politico reports: CBS News...has grown increasingly frustrated with Attkisson´s Benghazi campaign. CBS News executives see Attkisson wading dangerously close to advocacy on the issue, network sources have told POLITICO.(snip) This leak to Politico by CBS news execs comes in the wake of an admiring profile in the Washington Post of Attkisson

A massive screw-up by the state of California is being brushed off by Governor Jerry Brown with a barnyard expression: "Sh*t happens." The new eastern span of the Bay Bridge, a multi-billion dollar endeavor, turns out to have used faulty bolts to fasten the bridge to its pier. "A third out of 96 threaded steel rods -- 3 inches thick and 9 to 24 feet long -- snapped in early March after crews tightened them down with nuts."

In response to Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) invoking the “I word,” McCain called for caution: “With all due respect, I think this is a serious issue,” McCain told guest host Martha Raddatz. “I will even give the president the benefit of the doubt

Call it “Oval Office Couch Syndrome.” By the second term “inside the bubble,” presidents have completely lost touch with reality: Aides and confidants conspire to keep the chief executive insulated from the real world — the bad news, the worse press coverage. They think it’s their job, and lounging on the Oval Office couches, they nod along with the president’s every musing. But this presidency has taken OOCS to new heights — Mr. Obama has only a few trusted aides, and occasional leaks from the West Wing show a paranoid president suspicious of nearly everyone around him.

The documents, obtained by The Washington Post from a congressional aide with knowledge of the findings, show that the IRS field office in charge of evaluating applications for tax-exempt status decided to focus on groups making statements that “criticize

BBC has apologized for its coverage of the Benghazi murders; ABC has unraveled the mendacious tale of the talking points ´ genesis and the Congressional hearings this week have dramatically established the administration´s elaborate lies about how our ambassador and his brave defenders were murdered and its failure to protect them. Maybe now the press will feel it´s okay to get off their duffs and report how a thoroughly incompetent administration, motivated solely by self-interest, left our ambassador and others to be murdered and then lied about it with consequences to us all.

Black students are suspended more than three times as often as their white classmates, twice as often as their Latino classmates and more than 10 times as often as their Asian classmates in middle and high schools nationwide, a new study shows. The average American secondary student has an 11% chance of being suspended in a single school year, according to the study from the University of California Los Angeles Civil Rights project. However, if that student is black, the odds of suspension jump to 24%.

Janet Napolitano, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, is on the list of potential Democratic presidential candidates compiled by the extraordinarily astute Prez16.com . As a cabinet secretary (and as a potential, if dark horse, presidential nominee) Madame Secretary should refrain from slurring the Drudge Report, as recently she did, a slur Drudge, confidently, featured. Drudge is no fan of Napolitano. He regularly tweaks her as “Big Sis” (presumably an allusion to George Orwell’s “Big Brother”). Drudge is one of the most powerful — and widely respected — forces in the news business today.

Politics! Politics! They’re playing politics in Washington! Pretending to be modern Paul Reveres, Democrats and their media handmaidens are doing their damnedest to diminish the Benghazi revelations with the cheapest trick in town. While there is always pungent hypocrisy when one gang of politicians accuses another gang of playing politics, the current phony outrage from the Obama Protection Society is exceptionally putrid. After all, the whole saga of Benghazi — before, during and after the terror attack — reflects nothing so much as the ultimate expression of Barack Obama’s politics.

This love is terrifying. Thousands of American teen girls are crushing on Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19 — and leading a social-media movement to exonerate him. The swooning teens will not accept allegations that the college kid — whom they refer to by his nickname, “Jahar” — and his brother, Tamerlan, 26, killed three and maimed hundreds by setting off bombs at the April 15 race. While some scrawl the hashtag “#FreeJahar” on their hands with markers, an 18-year-old in Topeka, Kan., is going to the extreme — she wants Dzhokhar’s words inked on her arm forever.

The GOP majority in the House is reaching for new heights of political absurdity this week with its 37th vote to kill all or part of the Affordable Care Act. Let us briefly turn to political reality. There is absolutely zero chance that ObamaCare will be repealed while Democrats control the Senate and President Obama is in the White House. Reality also compels some mention of the fact that the GOP has never held a vote on any alternative plan for dealing with the nation’s out-of-control healthcare spending. But reality is a nuisance to Congressional Republicans
