Republicans need to stop talking about it and do it, which means throwing the GOP establishment, the zombie Bush/Romney machine, under the bus….Even if it requires a new party.

Floating Rock

Indeed. The party is only a means to ends. Republican victories do not necessarily bring about those ends–not for those of us who aren’t in the game for office! It may be time to go with a different mascot–a rattlesnake, maybe?

Yes, it’s going to crash, so why be left holding the bag?

And Romney dodged being personally destroyed for beating the Lightworker.

He and his family would go through hell, for no benefit to the country.

You will continue to lose by running people who are detached from reality.

Yes, he did appeal to a lot of crazy people.

That’s a gross mistatement. Personally, I think the Ron Paul cultists are a little nuts but I was surprised at a number of successful, competent, sane business people and industrious, sane college students who believed in his message. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. That’s Obama’s schtick.

Here’s a radical idea for the GOP: federalism.

.
You are correct sir.

Federalism IS THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE THIS COUNTRY.

Mitt did try selling it…….because he knows the commies want their central govt. Poliburo, and will sell their vagynas to get it.

A commie SCOTUS though, could kill off the 10th amendment easily.
Oh wait…..

we’re already there, Da ?

I was hoping you’d respond. Sorry I missed you last night. I fell asleep once the Advil sinus kicked in. Thanks for the info about the election up there. Canofor too for his links. I guess we shall see what states are going to do.

OFA cheating wouldn’t have mattered if 5 million republs would have just gotten out of bed last tues.

OR voted absentee ballot……
OR voted mail in ballot
OR voted in the month long early voting…..

That apathy along with the 2-2.5 million seniors who continue to pass away each year(8-10 million every election) and are replaced with a younger voting group- will guarantee a lock on Presidency. Hate to beat a dead horse, but if Clinton wasn’t such a whore dog- 43 would have never won- and we would be going into years 20 thru 24 in the Presidential wilderness.

The future will not require sunglasses.

Point out that the National government really isn’t that great in deciding the great moral and ethical decisions of our day: you are.

Point out that the federal government can’t live with in its means, and that for $2 trillion you should have enough government to run the US and if you want more: get your State to do it.

Point out that as all members of society gain benefit from being protected by the National level government, everyone should have to pay some taxes to the federal government on an exactly equal percentage basis, with even only the poor getting some break but still having to kick in at least $50/year with your States being able to pay for the truly destitute amongst us.

Compassion does not come from the hand of government, thriftiness is a value that is American and our government must reflect and in all cases all laws are to be applied equally without favor nor fervor to all US citizens.

The National government has no place saying to any citizen of any race, ethnic or monetary background that you are just incapable and need a break or a thumb on the scale, and that your liberty is the greatest thing you can exercise to better yourself in this life. Your States can figure out how to deal with those who have problems, the National scale is unsuitable to rendering judgment on such local affairs.

Bureaucrats are an anathema to all citizens and working for the government should not be a guaranteed life position. Therefore the most any citizen can work for the US government is 10 years done at the lowest pay rate in the US Armed Forces.

Set high level policy towards federalism.

Let people know that the goody-train will now have to be moved to the State level where it can be better handled and the federal government will phase out all welfare systems via block grants to the State which will be decreased steadily over a decade. That includes the special bonds held by SSA being given to the States to see if they can run that program based on its minimal assets. FICA is abolished. All special taxes are abolished. All write-offs, without exception, are abolished.

You are on your own.

The US government will keep the country protected from invasion and attack.

You are better suited on how to figure out the rest of this stuff than any bureaucrat, any agency, or any program at the National level.

YOU OWN THIS COUNTRY NOT THE GOVERNMENT.

THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT OWN YOU.

And, yeah, for this the Republican Party needs a thorough and complete overhaul to get it out of the 20th century. The Democrats are unwilling to move away from failures that impoverish Nations on a demonstrated scale that leads to catastrophe… that was known before we even got to the half-way mark of last century. The Democrats can’t buy a clue and actively reject them at every turn. Perhaps the Republican Party can hurry through the process of trying every failed alternative and, instead, go back to what WORKS.

That is a novel idea.

The party might want to try it some time.

…….and yet he won Catholics by 5%.

Actual Churches are next. They will be targeted for “hate speech”.

And speaking of an election emboldened left……Our Progressive masters are building a 90 foot tall idol of Gold (and like old). Soon ALL will be called upon to subjugate their will to the state and bow at its wisdom.

I’m pretty sure, now that i think about it……Nebuchadnezzer was a lefty big gov kinda guy too.

Thank you, ma’am! Please share.

excellent KJ

‘the lyin’ king’
heh

You are so right, my brother: Liars, Petraeus, and graft…oh, my!
My take.

Yeah, and we were wrong about the effectiveness of their cheating.

JellyToast on November 13, 2012 at 6:45 AM

OFA cheating wouldn’t have mattered if 5 million republs would have just gotten out of bed last tues.

The fact is less than an a week after the election they don’t know what happened and they can’t possibly know what we should do.

Yeah, and we were wrong about the effectiveness of their cheating.

sartana on November 13, 2012 at 6:07 AM

yes they do…

thanks buddy

What’s your source for the “young white” stat? I can’t find any site that has broken the numbers down to that level of detail and would enjoy getting a closer look.

cmsinaz on November 13, 2012 at 5:42 AM

The Democrat coalition is a tinder-box just waiting for a match.

They need 90% of the Black vote. Yet Blacks just joined Republicans in voting down Gay Marriage in California 2010. And there will be and end to the bribes that are used to buy that vote, not to mention Blacks will never vote in such numbers for a non-Obama Leftist.

The Hispanics(Mexican) demand Amnesty, yet Blacks oppose Amnesty probably even to a greater degree than Whites. Hispanics are also not on board with the radical social agenda of the New Left(formerly Democrat Party).

The Youth vote eventually grows up becoming in time, slightly less idiotic- while the true idiots don’t pro-create.

I shouldn’t forget that Blacks and Mexcians really aren’t that into each other. We’ve had a full-blown race-war going on in LA County that the media has been successful in blotting out.

Blacks and Hispanics both despise the White Leftists that keep them in line with bribes and promises of loot and one day will turn their angst on them.

The Left coalition as it is now, is nothing but a criminal gang kept united by the conspiracy to thieve, once the deal is done and there’s nothing further to be had- they’ll turn on each other.

The coalition of the Right, however, is comprised by people who are united by a common vision, with fealty towards binding documents like the Constitution, and respect for and adherence to the rites and traditions that gave rise to wisdom found with those documents.

We hold all the cards. That’s why they’re shouting so loudly now. Don’t they seem to be all up in a tizzeh?

I’m sorry you feel that way but I’m not responsible. Your party cheated in the primaries and even rigged votes at the national convention to disenfranchise people like me. If I am not welcome in the Republican Party, and I was not, then they certainly don’t get my vote. Do you think I am being unfair? Please explain how.

FloatingRock on November 13, 2012 at 3:29 AM

The very reason Paul should be banned from the GOP. Claiming libertarian ideas while using the GOP resources as a source of welfare but his wild eyed followers don’t believe in party unity.
Why don’t you and your legion of bad asses go form your own party and “do it your way”? But quit trying to act like you have some sort of moral high ground in ideas when the only connection with the GOP is for welfare/pr purposes.
On your own you are just another of the 15 third parties on the ballot that no on gives a *&*& about. Just another band of whiny “victims” claiming they alone possess truth and virtue.

Ron Paul appealed to the most diverse, big-tent of any of the other candidates, according to polls during the primaries.

FloatingRoc

Yes, he did appeal to a lot of crazy people.

may it bite this administration in the a$$
