Why look to the governorships when they can’t even deliver their states in a Presidential Election?

Much of the problem was the candidate they had to work with. Rarely will you win with a flaming moderate. They have no anchoring principles.

Look to the governorships

I posted in the Romney speech thread:

Anybody wanna guess what all these have in common?

Florida – Rick Scott
Iowa – Terry Branstad
Michigan – Rick Snyder
Maine – Paul LePage
New Jersey – Chris Christie
New Mexico – Susana Martinez
Nevada – Brian Sandoval
Ohio – John Kasich
Pennsylvania – Tom Corbett
Virginia – Bob McDonnell
Wisconsin – Scott Walker

Yep…all are states that went for President Obama, which have Republican governors. (Yes, I know Florida hasn’t been decided yet – but really, should it even have been this close?)

Be smart – use your church and local charities to help – screw the feds whenever you can – try and make your red state hostile to people who don’t want to work or try and claim disabilities and the like – defang your trial lawyers in state torts. Make them keep moving to the big cities in the liberal states – hasten their demise. If you are productive, go to more fertile ground.

Play the game the way it is being played on you.

I am going with .308 as the WOTD.

Irreversible is your word of the day.

I typed the full s word, and I see my comment didn’t make the filter. Goodness, but what I originally said was that I expect to see a bevy of those types of decals on the highway here in the future.

Chronologically, Fox is the 4th network. We need to have a reasoned voice and editorially control of at least one of the “Big Three” by turning them from the inside.

Mr. Trump . . . where are you?

the NC lieutenant governor race however is still to close to call. ugh. come on dan forest…

On the local level, nullify everything possible from land use regulations to environmental edicts.

Of course the communists will shut it down. But the strategy is a decentralized one – as many states, localities, counties etc that can pass a resolution nullifying some federal regulation, should do so. This will desacralize the leviathan in the citizens’ eyes – even blue state citizens’ eyes. And this leviathan doesn’t have much energy to simultaneously deal with 20 or even 10 states acting independently.

Remember folks, this ain’t 1861, it’s 2012. There’s no moral force left behind the Federal Leviathan. It’s time to nullify, nullify, nullify

We are still in a war. And the beauty is, we do know how this ends – we are watching it in Greece where they are throwing torches in the parliment building.

If you haven’t deleveraged do so – one advantage of Obama world is that if you are a decent credit risk, banks will give you money at incredibly low intereste rates. Remember the poor and not so well off are the ones who will be getting screwed on this – just like they did under Obama’s first term. So let’s worry about getting our own house in order. You probably need to learn how to use a gun and and keep a few handy, especially if you live close or in one of those big blue centers. We have already seen they don’t like it when they get their freebies taken away – and they will get them taken away – we are broke.

The dems say they like the poor, which is why they work to keep them that way. Use your smarts, take advantage of being a good risk and business partner and you will do better than all the folks who voted for him – just like the last four years.

And I hope he drops the ‘S’ word at least weekly.

Yes, indeed. I do expect to see a bevy of “Secede now” decals on the highways here in East Texas. Nobody and I mean nobody was happy this morning at work.

Reid moves to limit GOP filibusters

here we go…

If Reid limits or eliminates the filibuster then the Republican controlled house should permanently stall every bit of legislation he submits . There’s more than one way to cut that bum off at the pass.

Michigan/Wisconsin/Iowa

Look at the map people.

It’s NOT GETTING REDDER at the national level and Obama rules at the Federal level these states have no rights if they ever conflict with D.C. (ASK JAN BREWER and ARIZONA)

PappyD61 on November 7, 2012 at 1:30 PM

Excuse me, but Michigan is quite red at the state level. All state wide offices are red, the state House has 60 GOP and 50 Dems, for a 55%/45% split.

The State Senate is elected enmasse on the off year elections but in 2010, 68% of the 38 senators are GOP, virtually veto proof and filibuster proof.

Last night we elected 9 GOP Congressional House members to 5 Dem House members. Most of them are from the SW area of the state.

We are still stuck with our 2 Dem Senators, the liberal lying piece of debris Stabenow got about 54% of the vote. Not sure what she got last time. She had MILLIONS to outspend her opponent. And she LIED about medicare in all of her ads. She made it sound like the existing seniors would lose their medicare if Hoekstra won his election.

So Michigan is trying to get red. We just need to vote smarter or have better Senatorial candidates.

……wait…what was the bright side again???

Good, great even. Give them everything they want, everything, and I mean everything. Give them stuff they don’t even want. Let’s get it over with already.

bgibbs1000 on November 7, 2012 at 1:34 PM

I swear I don’t know how the Republican senators will be able to wake up every day and walk into the senate chamber. Agree…give them everything they want. And when Hussein gets to nominate one or probably two new Supreme Court justices, I would decline even asking them any questions. Just say “you know what, it doesn’t matter what I ask or say, you are going to be confirmed. Good day.”

Totally agree. Let them own it.

matthew8787 on November 7, 2012 at 2:34 PM

.
Why would they NOT want to own it? Perspective required.

A failed Capitalistic society will require loads of government fixes-and require many more govt workers with pensions who will continue this cycle of voting in Government control.

The Kardashian voting masses have spoken. They prefer FOOD STAMPS to JOBS, and a President who can guarantee the welfare state.

They want this. Its Booshes fault as well….according to exit polling and they will not waste this opportunity to put a few more nails in the coffin of America.

And now we have no shot at the Senate in 2014, which is going to brutalize fundraising for our challengers. Very ugly.

The Dems and the MSM will come after our House candidates and pick off enough to regain the House for the final two years of Obama.
